1966 prediction of the home compuer.

The year is 1966 and this is how people thought personal computing would become in the future. I have to admit, I think they did a terrific job, considering they properly guessed about lot’s of technologies and practices that had not been invented yet. I mean, the technology to create flat screen TV’s didn’t exist yet, not to mention about this whole idea of people connected to people remotely all the time. I wonder, if we had to predict now how personal computing will be by 2050, could we come up with something as accurate as this?
