“The Internet in 1969” was eerily correct

Internet 60s

Predictions of the future are often foolish and do not accurately represent reality. In this case, they got it nailed pretty nicely.

We don’t know the history of this video, but it seems authentic. In it, they predict webcam, online bill pay, email, and online shopping as well as a few other nice features of today’s technological world. Not bad for hippies of the 60s.

  2. That’s probably because a lot of those hippies, like Steve Jobs, were at the forefront of the computing industry.
