Yes, in the very near future (2025) we will come to rely even more on our HP calculators. Behold the amazing capabilities of the HPXX2050 calculator!

I've read about the HPXX2050 before. Fun/interesting story. We do have this computing technology today (cell phones, or more correctly a computing device, which is also capable of doing phone calls). Though they missed with the memory capacity..
1GB was surpassed like 10 years ago. My cellphone has 12GB RAM and 256GB non-volative memory.

What I would like from the story, is the rocketliner. Imagine circumnavigating the equator in just 5 hours.. The flights I do (work related) from Europe/Riga to Ushuaia/Argentina could have been done in 4-5 hours incl plane changes at bigger hubs, rather than close to 30 hours as it is now.
