1983 - An Electronics Cornocopia

Oh my god! A portable TV! A music player with a game in it! An all-in-one portable video camera! Robots! The future is looking pretty bright in 1983.

Actually I am pretty impressed, I had no idea this sort of technology was actually around as far back as 1983.

BUT ... if we already had portable TV, music players with video games, home video cameras and robots in 1983, what the hell have they been doing for the last 30 years, its 2010 already, where's my flying car?!?!?

Their predictions for what we do with the internet are actually pretty accurate.

The video camera used a STANDARD BETA CASSETTE. Wow.

Talk about a time warp. I remember all that junk and thought it was cool at the time!

I love how sexist the whole thing is.
