Abstract
It probably won’t happen while this book is still in print, but it will happen. It’s hard to imagine it now, but, one day, the smartphone will meet the same fate as the Sony Walkman, Polaroid camera, transistor radio and all those other electrical appliances we once marvelled at and assumed we could never live without. We always find a way of living without them.
