I disagree. The Pope tweeting a bull or encyclical, that's like some 1951 version of The Future, where The Future is just like 1951 except everyone takes the Helobus to work. It's The Jetsons, nothing more.
When The Future really gets here, it will be obvious, but only in retrospect, and a few things will be major puzzles.
That depends on who you are and what you think about when you think about future. For some 70 years old men the present world might already feel like the Matrix in some ways.
