No Flying Cars, but...

    With each new technological advance, there are always people who make predictions about how it will change our lives.  All too often, these advances turn out to be fads or the predictions are much too bold.  How many people predicted that we would have flying cars by year 2000?  And 2001 Space Odyssey?  As an educator who advocates for technology, I never quite know if the predictions made by experts will come true (and therefore worth my time and money).  But this PSA from 1995 about the Internet must have been incredibly bold for its time, and so incredibly accurate now.  Amazing that something like this could be true; it makes us wonder what truly bold predictions will be realized in technology.
