If technology continues to progress at current rates – and, more importantly, current rates of acceleration – we may soon live in a world where web forms don’t show giant red warnings like DANGER! YOU SCREWED UP VERY BADLY! THIS IS FALSE! IT IS A FEDERAL CRIME TO LIE IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES! when you start typing your phone number because it doesn’t have enough digits to be a phone number yet.
@darrell Futurists predict this may happen as soon as 2123.
@vruba so, my consciousness may have been (forcibly) uploaded to the Googlezon Cloud, but I still be won’t be able to make a phone call. Yeah, that’s probably right.
@vruba I’m looking forward to that distant future where it doesn’t care if you put dashes or not, and can also handle a +COUNTRYCODE without crapping the bed. I hope I live to see it.
