Have we achieved our scientific and engineering dreams yet?

The future still has much to offer.

Inspired by jtotheizzoe’s tweet:

which features a video of things to come as based on 1994 expectations:

I used the google to find other predictions of the future. I was amazed by the accuracy of this video from 1967 which fantasizes about the concepts of online shopping, banking and email. (Digg the background music.)
