Look how far we’ve come in 40 years. And look how ‘Amazing Stories 1981’ predicts with scary accuracy the shape of things that came: email, online news, banking & games, Alexa, Zoom, Wikipedia, Netflix, Translate – all on ‘the Videocom’ – running on ‘optical data transmission & high speed computers.’
Crucially for me, the last line (not shown), speculating beyond ‘the Videocom’, says: ‘Just as the current communication revolution will unify our planet, the next communication revolution promises to unite us with the cosmos…’
Indeed.
I hope you can read the images, but if not, you can download them from my site: http://www.TheOracleMachine.in – Enjoy the fascinating read!
Sci-Fi Knows Best!
