Just watched the Final Cut of Blade Runner, and found it amusing that
most of the desktop computer/TV displays were similar to 14" TVs. I was
watching it on a 50" HD plasma.

And Decker used a pay phone rather than a mobile, though pretty much
everything set in the 'near future' prior to the 90s missed the
mobile phone.

(though the computers were voice activated, and the phones were
video phones - both of which are still rare).
