Well, kids, it’s time once again for Future Friday, our weekly look into the future from the past. What? Was that confusing? Sorry. Each Friday we bring you a vintage clip predicting the future. Most of the time they are hilariously off. We’ve seen kitchens that will bake your cake with the birthday candles already lit, creepy future dances and Michael Jackson turning in to Lando Calrissian.
Today’s clip is different. Today’s clip is… pretty accurate. Can you imagine shopping from a screen in your very own home? Taking care of your banking on a banking console in your home? Getting correspondence electronically at your electronic correspondence machine in your own home? Reading a collection of delightful commentary pieces on vintage and retro delights from a computer comedy machine console — in your own home? Of course you can!
Despite the amazing predictions this gem makes, they haven’t escaped that classic ’60s style. Just watch the husband’s reaction when he sees his wife’s online shopping bill!
