Reminds me of when I was watching the weekly Fringe episode and an 80's version of their jingle appeared. It was awesome. And all the "hi tech" inventions were already invented in the year 20** when it was broadcast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSj2qD8waa0

And speaking of that, the series missed out on predicting the cryptocurrencies!

It should have been:
Artificial Intelligence, Psychokinesis, Nanotechnology, Precognition, Cryptocurrency, Dark Matter, Cybernetics etc :)

If cryptocurrency had been around in 1930, Hitler would've never risen to power, and World War II never would have happened.

Just one more reason Bitcoin is good for the world.

Yeah and you carry cassette tapes and load it at the grocery to transfer the coin.  ;D

Imagining BTC being mined by tubes - Bitcoin in pre-transistor era.

Probably the same if we kept the gold backed dollar.
