The year is 2018 my door bell is hooked up to my wifi. It also has a camera so I can see my landscaper through a satellite connection to a cellular tower to my cell phone that has a blue tooth connection to my watch. So now while I am out of the country I can carry on a conversation.

It was an analogy my friend. None of those things were predictable in 2003 and yet just 15 short years later they all exist and are widely accepted.
The year is 1999, had a Nokia with a Bluetooth headset.
