Totally agree - I think no one saw the change the mobile phone was going to make, especially as computers kept getting smaller and smaller and turning into smartphones.

I think if some one looks back to the 95-15 era, they will probably come to the conclusion that it was the humble camera cell phone that was the biggest, most influential invention of the period.
