Scarily similar to my own 15yrs-behind-the-times household. Chris n I like nothing better than to hang out in our bright-red retro-jumpsuits: we're just sooooo 1996...
Hey! What do you mean? Nuthin' wrong with those jumpsuits, man...
They're better than a puffa jacket.
Yeah, some of it is curiously on the number considering the predictions were made in the late 70's. Some of the ideas just took a while to come to the market, and of course the internet facilitated the comms-related stuff. Prior to the web, everyone assumed mass-communication would all be via satellite.
