A prediction re Bob's Tech Tips — I think that the pandemic kick-started so much tech innovation that we will change our attitude toward new products and new ideas. I remember CES in the late 1990s when I saw a refrigerator with what was essentially an iPad on it, and I was stunned. Considering the iPad hadn't been invented yet . . . but I felt the earth shift under me when what I was looking at was a mock-up of the "internet of things."
About 2021 — I read a tweet by Pamela Colloff: "I keep hoping there will be a day, one day, when I'm cleaning out my closet, and I come across a box of N95 masks...and I shake my head slowly in amazement, like I've just come across an old high school photo, and I can hardly remember what that faraway time was like." For old people like me, well, we don't have time for this to become a "faraway time."
