How did it pan out?The Picard Maneuver@startrek.website to Antique Memes Roadshow@lemmy.world – 436 points – 10 months ago43Post a CommentPreviewYou are viewing a single commentView all commentsCute, they thought that it would only grow in one dimension while in reality it did in two.Why I prefer this prediction: How have I never seen this lolIt is a 13 year old meme!...but it checks out, sir!if you include the Vision Pro then the viewport has gotten even bigger than thisThey couldn't predict that he wouldn't be around any more by 2012.I guess people thought "the genius Steve Jobs" wouldn't go a homeopathic route to treat his actually treatable pancreatic cancer It's so incredibly rare to have a treatable version of pancreatic cancer, normally it's a guaranteed death sentence. Also he got a liver transplant because having access to a private plane meant he could be on all the lists. Only bought him like another year though. 2016: iFloor 2018: iPiazza 2020: iField 2022: iPrairie 2024: iVeldtThe Iboard is just a touchscreen Mac.Reality is disappointing.But it also shrank in a third.
