I just picture someone worrying about people dialing phone numbers while driving in the car in 1990? What a stupid thing to worry about since obviously the cord won't be long enough.

People aren't going to want to have a phone on them at all times anyway and risk possibly breaking or losing the phone. It will just hang on the wall like the rotary phone in a stand so you know where it is but you won't have to worry about the pesky cord anymore.

Technological progress is a linear process that is always good with zero higher order cultural effects based on how new features are used in practice.

Face recognition? What could possibly go wrong. I recognize faces literally every day!
