PREDICTIONS FROM 40 YEARS AGO

I want you to see a somewhat prophetic video from long ago, with projections for the future.

OK, so the technology doesn't look exactly the way it actually turned out in our present-day computers.... but it's eerily accurate in depicting what we are capable of doing nowadays right in our homes.

The video is an old industrial film from Philco-Ford, made in 1967, titled "Year 1999 A.D." -- and you'll notice the guy in the video is a young Wink Martindale.

The "fingertip shopping" they talk about is fairly close to today's reality with eBay and other shopping sites.

Click on the video clip below.
It runs less than 2 minutes.
