AT&T 1993-1994 'You Will' Ad Campaign Compilation - All 7 Ads

i could never find a complete compilation of all of these videos, so i put all 7 together and uploaded it for the world.

looking back on these ads, i see that they were eerily prophetic. seriously, the only one of these things that i don't do or haven't done are faxing from the beach (although i email, mms, and upload to the web all manner of pics and vids) and use a vioce-activated lock on my apt door. webcams, ez-pay, self-checkout, gps, wifi/wan, atms for tickets and driver licenses, on-demand video/tivo, realtime online multi-user video project collaboration, wristwatch cellphones we have almost everything. the only things we don't actually have are the automated voice-activated software agent (still in the works), "fax from the beach" (fax is dead, now we email, mms, etc. via wan/wifi/3G/4G), and videophone-booths (instead, video cell phones have existed since about 2003 and even in the iPhone, which i frequently use).

plus, i like the song they use.unfortunately, the song was made by a studio working for the ad agency who made the ads, so it's unavailable.

update, 1.25.2011: well, there's an app for faxing-- from the beach, i suppose...

also, i was contacted by at&t corporate today. they want to use my video for a presentation. i sent them the source vids. they're going to upscale the resolution send me a copy when they're done. hopefully, they'll let me upload it here to replace this one!

UPDATE 6.24.11: got the following email today:

Thanks for your email! My apologies for not relaying the following information, but the team decided to scratch the presentation and go in a different direction. We did not end up using the videos, but I really appreciate you sending them our way. Your compilation was great and I will most definitely keep you in mind should we move forward with this project in the near future.

Thanks,
Blake
