how crazy were those at&t commercials predicting the future

[dabestkeptsecret]

they nailed that shyt perfectly. In 93 nikkas barely had the internet and they were predicting text/emails, face time, ez pass, ect...

 

[jdashmaj]

I remember these commercials vaguely

 

[DA_LURKA]

I mean facetime is some Jetson shyt anyway.

 

[Saint1]

They knew what was going to happen because they were developing it.

I remember reading an interview with someone from either Microsoft or Sony and they said the future is looking incredible. When he goes to his living room at home he said he felt like he stepped backwards in time 10 years.

youd be surprised what kind of technology was available in 93. just not consumer-ready yet or in embryo stages of development/standard writing

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

My nikka I made this EXACT thread yesterday.

You're telling me this is coincidence?

 

[yseJ]

on the real tho, stop treating it like some nostradamus shyt

internet was well functioning in 93, for a while.
there were digital to analog converters
cell phones
HD standard came out in like 91
sending signals over air was done since radio and tv days
moores law was proving that computers will become powerful and chips/transistor ratio was getting smaller and smaller

tech heads knew what was up.

you put all these things together and its not hard to see the near future

now if this happened in the 50s or 60s...THEN itd be weird.

its like the same way we can say with a degree of confidence there will be a lot of autonomous cars driving down the road in 20 years. the technology is here now.

I thought it was common knowledge that military tech is years ahead of consumer tech.They werent predicting the future. They were saying " the army has this, sometime down the line we'll let you have too...after they've moved on to something more advanced."

We know breh. It's just fun to see a blast from the past like this, now that shyt has played itself out.

nikka u old as fukk if u can remember commercial from 93

 

[Mowgli]

Now i take all this shyt for granted and get pissed off when it doesnt work immediately. Video chat feeds arent in 1080p. Phone is Trash!

 

[smARTmouf]

you know how I know i'm old tho?...

I remember these commercials vividly as hell ...lol

I was like so fukking what then...and i'm like so fukking what now...

where the fukk is my hoverboard?!!!..

 

[illadope]

fukk all that shyt, we dont have floating cars and thats all that matters.

 

[Monoblock]

Damn I'm old. I remember these commercials. I still ain't got my hover board though dammit. Dr. Emmitt Brown and Marty McFly promised me that they would be out by the year 2005 and I still ain't got one.

 

[NatiboyB]

The technology is there its just not for daily use and worth the production cost
Youd be shocked at the stuff in development
