The Future is Here According to AT&T (video)

Predicting the future is difficult at best, and while many predictions have ended up being correct, others sadly never came to pass (jetpacks, anyone?). That's why this set of commercials from AT&T are amazing. They were run during the '90's, and essentially predict a number of things we have today: iPads, video calls, GPS, online meetings and ticket purchase, and more. Checking out a book from hundreds of miles away? I've bought Kindle books from the back of a taxi whizzing through Bangkok before. The future is here, folks!

The graphics show these current tech with '90's tech style, but otherwise, they're spot-on for what you could find at your regular tech store today. Incredibly, everything mentioned is really a part of the tech scene today. And the commercials were run in '92-'93, years before Windows 95 was considered cutting-edge. Fascinating.
