When we have eaten out with him, I am amazed at how he can "read" the menu. On one occassion, he ordered a snitzel which, when it arrived was not shaped like the usual snitzel. It was shaped more like a piece of fish. His gizmo told him it was fish so he said to his wife that they had brought him the wrong meal. She explained and all was well. The computing power in that tiny thing on his specs frame is incredible. Leaves me wondering how soon and by how much will we be superceded and when.
