A Look At the "Information Superhighway," As It Looked In 1985

jfruh writes "AT&T's video library is a treasure trove of future-looking films from the past, and this one is no exception. Combining what might be the first on-film use of the phrase 'information superhighway' with predictions of Siri-like services and sweet '80s computer graphics, this offers a valuable look at how close we came to our past's future."

Sort of a let down

For a video made in the 80s, there is a dearth of embarrassing haircuts and/or clothes.... Come on 1980s!

1985 was a good year

Not mentioned was the first test run of the flux capacitor.

Unfortunately, it was strapped to a DeLorean so it did not have a lot of credibility at the time.

Sadly, science museums have devolved into environmentalism and global warming preaching which by comparison is about as much fun as watching the organic, free-range, fair-trade grass grow.

Damn liberal scientists, always trying to save the world. Better to send your kids to a good conservative museum.
