This might be unbelievable, but I straight up invented the iPhone like a year before it came out.

I was in high school and one of the students in a pilot Digital Art class. The teacher gave us a project to design an ad for a product we'd make up ourselves.

The product I made up was a touchscreen phone with WiFi and cellular connections that could play MP3s and movie files, with a camera, square icons, and a single navigational button.

I didn't call it the iPhone, I don't actually remember what name I gave it, but the ad I designed was some pastel clouds with a gradient to them that dropped realistic looking rain into a puddle in the shape of the phone, with a stark white background and black text behind the rain drops that said, "It's raining possibilities."

It used to be my twitter background for years 'cause I was so proud of learning how to make raindrops that had a shiny reflection and warped the text behind them.

As far as more abstract ideas:

What if Tekken (the live-action movie, not the animated movie nor the game) was a better parallel for the direction the world is taking than 1984 or Brave New World?

I mean, like...in that world, corporations have become the governments and states/countries. Look at how much power Google currently holds, how much they control, and how much momentum they have. Oil companies, energy companies, all sorts that make things we absolutely can't live without and have what feels like limitless funds.
