And we call it... The Internet

The late 1960's GPO predicting average mortgage prices of just over £5000 ... LoL!

video phone/monophonic synthesizer, and it was all thought of in the 60's
they even had a portable bleep synth :-D
-
heh they even predicted last mile fixed wireless, funny how the private company the GPO became then shunned such technology.
-
They predicted Skype!

Thunderbirds are GO!

Wow, tremendous foresight there. Amazing how many predictions they got right: - international video calls - pagers - answering machines - facsimiles - online bank statements - online stock prices - online mortgage calculators (!) - working from home
Thankfully the user interface is a bit more friendly than that oddly shaped terminal :)
