Its Funny Because its Old
 
Ah, the stuff you find when you clean. For instance, a stack of magazines from 1991. In an article detailing how the rapid changes in technology would affect our lives, a timeline of possible events was produced.

Flying car, nothing. Where the hell is my <$1,000 HDTV set? Oh, well, I guess I could have afforded one if I had just gone to school.

And you have to admit, they were right about the "video CDs" and the "digital phone service" (though off by a couple years). It's more accurate than most of these things are!!

We just got back from a charity rummage sale. I wanted to buy an Intellivision and a forty pound VCR, but my old man wouldn't let me. He doesn't appreciate antiques like I do.
