This is what people in 1989 thought life would be like in 2020

A remarkable viral video is doing the rounds featuring footage from the former BBC science show Tomorrow’s World’s and how people in 1989 predicting what life would be like in 2020 and its proving much more accurate than you might imagine.

“A simple command gives you music, perhaps piped in from a sound library” is an obvious highlight, which is basically what the likes of Amazon Alexa and Google Home can do now.

There is also an extensive discussion about the need for alternative forms of energy, something that could not feel more bang on the money at this moment in time, with discussions around climate change being more prevalent than ever.

In fact, the only real shame about the video is that we haven’t taken the environmental issue seriously enough despite knowing things were heading this way for decades.

People online had thoughts, naturally.
