“The company now expects to exceed $1.7 billion in free cash flow for the third quarter of 2023, in part due to the strong performance of ‘Barbie’ as well as incremental impact from strike-related factors,” the entertainment giant says in a regulatory filing.

    That’s not ancient history…

    Plenty of people are still alive that were using the internet 20 years ago.

    I think you’re confusing what scifi predicted it would be like in movies/TV which is almost always over exaggerated because that’s what sells.

    Even when that stuff came out, no one back then took the crazy stuff seriously, if anything serious predictions underestimated what it would be like today.

    I don’t think you realize how crazy today’s cell phones with 5G would be to someone from 2003.

      Being in my 60’s I’d have to agree with you. The range and capabilities of cell phone technology now vs 2003 is a blow-out.

        Seriously, texting was a huge innovation, we couldn’t even send pics in 2003, now we’ve got fucking FaceTime and bitch if it’s not HD. Hell, we can Livestream HD to the entire Internet these days.

        I think if you’ve grown up with touchscreen cellphones, you don’t understand how ground breaking they were.
