Leaving our phone in view changes what we talk about and the connection we feel

Computers have been getting smaller not since you started using them, which for nontechnical folk might be the late 90s, but since the 50s. Each time they got smaller, they enabled different kinds of interaction.
I don't think we'll be using cell phones in 20 years. We've had computers, minicomputers, workstations, microcomputers, and we don't have a semantic niche for the cell phone, but I'd call it a nanocomputer. There will be femtocomputers.
