I remember thinking as a young man
that everything significant had already been invented, and there wasn't much else we could plausibly expect.
Oops.
Not long ago someone dug up an old Radio Shack ad from 1991 featuring various products on sale. The person realized that every one of the tasks performed by every one of those products can now be accomplished with a smartphone.
E.g.:
-- personal stereo
-- AM/FM clock radio
-- calculator
-- camcorder
-- answering machine
-- 10-channel desktop scanner
-- handheld tape recorder
and a whole bunch more.
Not to mention how much all these items would run you. Not cheap.
We laugh at our former selves for having such a clunky collection of crap, compared to our sleek solution today.
But:
There's now one more thing you can do with your smartphone, and it'll make you master of the universe.
Your competitors don't know about it.
It saves you tons of frustration -- and smackers.
It gives you a massive advantage.
And frankly, it's just cool: you'll be king of the universe.
