Let’s start a new thing! Throwback Thursday, a pinned weekly post where we can discuss past predictions and how accurate they were now that we are living in the future!

What happened to the Moller Sky Car? Are our Jetsons video watches available sooner than we thought they’d be? Where’s my domestic household nuclear reactor?

I used to love beyond 2000 when I was a kid. We had this teacher when I was 11 that was big into it - paperless offices (ha!) and heaps I can’t remember… Bet they didn’t think of smartphones

Same here! Such a nostalgic throwback. I recall one bit about robots not being able to walk upright due to the amount of calculations needed to keep their balance, “it would be decades before they will walk the way we do” and then Asimo was unveiled
