Interesting how they thought we wouldn't need much in the way of input devices (keyboard, mouse). Or that bills would be hand-written and then scanned in and sent for payment.

But you're right, they did get the flat-screen monitor right, and they also got the fact that you can put up webcams everywhere right.

I'm impressed, actually. If the details are a little off, they got a lot of the concepts exactly right!

The video was surprisingly accurate given the level of technology then (not to mention its appearance).
I kept thinking of Disney's Carousal of Progress as I was watching this.
