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.

(They didn't say how big it was gonna be!)

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.

Well, SteveDallas, I'll be dammed. And I can order it simply by tapping on my UnMouse!

And you've all been calling them "touchpads". Humpf.
