In 1967, Walter Cronkite Took Us Into The Future With A Look Inside The Home Of The 21st Century
Not sure if you've seen this, but back in 1967, CBS Television had a show called The 21st Century.
The idea was to give people a glimpse into the future and show them what life might be like by 2001.
In the video at the top, the legendary anchor Walter Cronkite takes you inside the home office of the future.
And incredibly, the predictions were pretty accurate - everything from video chatting, online news, and working from home
They also did segments about the living room of the future.
And for the kitchen of the 21st century.
