This 1967 educational film strip was deemed “impossible” and “fantastical” by may observers at the time. With the input from scientists at Bell Labs it painted a future of 2020. It predicted elements of the technologies precisely. From e-commerce to social networks—in 1967:pic.twitter.com/ToOsJhZYYB
