I think that many of the things predicted did come to pass......video phones(cordless, no less); playing board games with kids on the other side of the World( I remember reading this prediction in a Popular Science Mag back in 1975----); Powered Skateboards; Space Station(yeah, it's no L-5 Colony, but there is something at least); and who would have thought just how powerfull our personal computers would be now? I was thumbing thru a copy of Money Mag from 1987 a few weeks ago and after reading some of the ads for computers estimated that the computer I have at home would have cost about $400,000 back in the late 80s.
