A few years back there were the predictions that your computer would become the TV

This may still happen if they ever wire everyone for fiber.

Drivers and bad now just using the cell phones and trying to drive

Agreed but hands-free cellular has been available for 10 years now. The telematics stuff for autos has gone quiet lately but I could forsee your car's computer recognizing how much gas you had left, automatically checking for the cheapest gas station ahead of you via cellular, and then telling you where to find it based on your GPS location. I think Morgan was just trying to say "wireless" will change our lives in ways we cannot currently comprehend...not just "cellphones". Wireless also holds the promise of high speed Internet access (2.4 MB/s) which could solve the "last mile" problem we have now (and I see someone just posted something related to this just before me!)
