It’s impressive how forward thinking people could be even back then. I remember around this time i had Microsoft’s web tv and thought it was the most futuristic thing ever. Projecting out, what do we all think the next 20 years will look like? No iphone?
The Pippin… Apple’s “great success” at a multimedia games console. How quaint! I spotted a reference to Myst as a recent game, lol.
Yeah it is crazy how they thought of it back then. I’ve gotten quite obsessed with that you tube channel. Was watching one the other day on laptops in 1989 when they weighed 15lbs and have a 8 inch screen and started at over 7 grand!
I also watched an old BBC review from the late 60’s about the portable typewritter when they said its biggest invention for women since the pill lol 😂
You’ve probably already seen this, but in the 1990’s AT&T had a video series called ”you will” predicting future technologies. I remember at the time most people thought it was far fetched and didn’t really believe any of it. Video calls? Thats some sci-fi stuff right there. Won’t happen in our life time lol It’s amazing that when this aired, i had a small 13 inch tv and the highest tech i had at home was a cordless home phone. Now I’m typing this on an ipad while wearing an Apple Watch
It’s amazing how far we’ve come. I suppose every generation says the same thing but I can’t imagine as much growth as weve had in the last 20 years.
