One of my first blog posts was a look at how incredibly accurately Arthur C. Clarke predicted the iPad in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Well today, I come to you with a video Daily Double- this video shows the uses of a computer-specifically, some mockups of what appear to be predictions of online shopping, online banking, and video surveillance (Skype?). I don't know what the source of this video is, but since this device obviously wasn't available for sale, I'm guessing that the video came from either a science expo or a documentary television show.
Note the husband's reaction when he sees the bills from his wife's purchases- it's priceless.
