HUMBOLDT — Nearly 40 years ago, society had a name for wireless phones, for small screens you could fit in your pocket and provide hours of music, television or films, or that robotic assistant you could order with your voice.

“The term we had for all this was ‘science fiction,’” David Von Drehle said Sunday.

Von Drehle, a staff columnist for the Washington and former editor for Time Magazine, delivered the keynote address at Sunday’s Humboldt Virtual School graduation ceremony.

The message was a special one for Von Drehle, who lives in the Kansas City area. His daughter, Ella, was one of the virtual school’s graduates.
