Joe Shaw Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 This is pretty cool, I saw it on Metafilter. It shows a 1969 prediction of how the internet would work and, at least in the broad strokes, it's remarkably accurate. The sexist threads running through it are pretty funny along with the three "computers" each with a different monitor and the mass of RCA phono connectors. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7ea_1242181316&p=1 Joe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
