Apple's 1987 Vision of Computing in 2010

I absolutely love looking back 20 years or so and seeing a prediction someone made about what life would be like today. In this old video Apple makes some pretty wild predictions about how we'll talk to our computers using natural speech instead of the old keyboard and mouse. I'll admit that if I saw this back in '87 I'd have believed it was possible. However, reality is rarely as exciting as our visions of the future, so here we are in 2007 and we're not even close to having a computer experience like the this.

It's too bad though, because I think this is exactly how computers should work. But I'd still want my keyboard.

Here's what people had to say...

Well just to let you know, it is already happening. Msn search Surface, and you will see that by 2010 we hope to have even home users using the surface.

First thing to do is to target the corporate world, like at bars, best buy stores for comparing products, and restaurants for payments.

With the corporate world using these computers, we expect a trickle down to happen, and people to use them.

Have something to say?
