better than Nostradamus

In 1993, ATT ran a series of TV spots called “You Will”.

They were an attempt to predict the future.

ATT got it pretty much all right.

It’s amazing to look at these now and to remember that none of the ‘new and amazing’ appliances predicted in 1993 (like iPads or GPS maps in your car) even existed.

Nice job, ATT.

If only they could get past the dropped calls thing…

(not to mention charging pornographic amounts for data downloads overseas!!!)
