Have you heard Brad Paisley's song, Welcome to the Future? It starts out,

"When I was ten years old, I remember thinking how cool it would be when we were going on an eight hour drive, if I could just watch T.V. And I'd have given anything to have my own PacMan game at home. I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade; now I've got it on my phone. Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah, welcome to the future."
