The Internet in 1969

Love this!

Set the scene in 1969. The wife is tooling around doing some on-line shopping from her home video console. Meanwhile the husband is dutifully managing the family accounts on his more sophisticated console at work. "What the wife selects on her console can be paid for by the husband at his counterpart console."

After sighing at his wife's frivolous purchases, the husband then writes an important letter on his Home Post Office machine. Brilliant!

Look at what Asimov and Jobs have made us miss! We would be able to control the expenses of the whole family, we would only need to roll our weight between a few screens to fill up the pantry, the fridge and get the toilet paper dispenser refilled automatically! And indeed we wouldn't need to spend an awful lot of time at Westfield to get new shoes, pants, and other clothes for the kids! Where did we get it wrong!!??
