Here is an actual photographic representation of my esteemed co-blogger and co-blooger, Doctor Sam Tool (or S. Tool or "DOCTOR'S TOOL". Or Dr Stool). AKA "Uncle Sammy". His real name is Tool because he is a huge tool, or has a huge tool, but we confabulate him heartily on this, his happy happy day. Happy day! Happy day! HAPPY HAPPY DAY. He is a sort of doctor now - a doctor of wood. Him buy me cigar. Also beer.
There'll be no more calling a moron an idiot on SUPERBLOG!!. From now on, we'll always use the correct terminology.

A 1967 vision of 1999. Email! Internet shopping! Multiple flatscreens! Husband paying wife's bills!
Snopes has some info:
The video clip shown above - an excerpt from a 1967 Philco-Ford production entitled "Year 1999 A.D.," starring a young Wink Martindale - did a fairly good job of anticipating some ways (if not the specific forms) in which technology might be used in daily life more than three decades in the future. Concepts such as "fingertip shopping," an "electronic correspondence machine," and others envisioned in this video anticipate several innovations that became commonplace within a few years of 1999: e-commerce, webcams, online bill payment and tax filing, electronic funds transfers (EFT), home-based laser printers, and e-mail.
