Mike Huckabee Did the Absolute Worst Tweet Today

A recent viral tweet by technology writer and editor Esther Schindler showed a picture of a magazine clipping from 1999, where the science fiction TV writer and novelist David Gerrold made predictions about the “future of computing” that turned out to be remarkably accurate.

“I’ve got a cell phone, a pocket organizer, a beeper, a calucator, a digital camera, a pocket tape recorder, a music player, and somewhere around here, I used to have a color television,” Gerrold wrote. “Sometime in the next few years, all of those devices are going to meld into one. It will be a box less than an inch thick and smaller than a deck of cards. The box will have a high-res color screen, a microphone, a plug for a headset or earphones, a camera lens, wireless connectivity, cell phone and beeper functions, a television and radio receiver, a digital recorder, and it will have enough processing power and memory to function as a desktop system. It will be able to dock with a keyboard and full-size monitor. Oh yes, and it will handle email, as well.”
