Marcus: 21st Century Computing: a 1989 computer magazine article predicts computer life in 2001. (via)
Marcus:
"A typical morning in the year 2001: You wake up, scan the custom newspaper that's spilling from your fax, walk into the living room. There you speak to a giant screen on the wall, part of which instantly becomes a high-quality TV monitor. When you leave for work, you carry a smart wallet, a computer the size of a credit card. When you come home, you slip on special eyeglasses and stroll through a completely artificial world."
Marcus:
Mind you, it correctly predicts the advent of HDTV.
