From Science Fiction to Fact

If there was ever any doubt that we are indeed living in a future that was only ever imagined by our predecessors, try answering these questions AT&T asked in a series of ads they released back in 1993:

 

Have you ever borrowed a book from thousands of miles away?

 

Crossed the country without stopping for directions?

 

Paid a toll without slowing down?

 

Tucked your baby in, from a phone booth?

 

Opened doors with the sound of your voice?

 

Watched the movie you wanted to, the minute you wanted to?

 

Learned special things from far away places?

 

It’s hard to believe that ebooks, GPS, RFID technology, video calling, smart homes, video streaming, and eLearning (just to name a few) were all things the previous generation could only dream of. Now, life without them seems almost unimaginable.

 

Perhaps by virtue of how quickly new technologies assimilate into our lives, we tend to take these advances for granted and fail to see just how far we’ve come. But if you stop and pay attention, you’ll realize how consistent innovation has essentially allowed us to move from science fiction to fact.

 

Take a look at how AT&T predicted our future world:
