VIDEO: The Internet – as imagined by futurists in 1969

Posted by: Michael on Aug 20, 2008

Last night saw this video on Digg. That was an Apple commercial about the Internet, and how it was changing the world. All very true (if the Internet hadn’t changed the world, then I certainly wouldn’t be doing this!)

The video above, however, isn’t that video. I found this video looking at the recommendations of the previous video. So what is this video?

This video is a look at the future from 1969 – and it is pretty darn close to accurate. Just take a look at it, and I think you’ll be amazed. Obviously its not 100% accurate, but after seeing it, I really thought you guys would enjoy it.
