IT Predictions Come True

Filed in archive Opinion on December 18, 2007

We've seen the outdated predictions of how life will be in say 50 years, but how often are they right on the money? I found this particular video on Snopes.com, which is my go-to site for debunking or proving urban legends. What's really interesting about this film, which was recorded in 1967 and produced by Philco-Ford, is that it's not only real, it's accurate.

To see how former generations viewed what we would look like in 1999, click on the video below. And for you television fans, that young star is none other than Wink Martindale.
