Nice try, 1969, but you’re missing a few things:
- Porn
- Religious debates
- Porn
- Freely available copyrighted works
- Porn
- Glittery animated gif’s
- Porn
- “First!”
Also, porn.

And now the obligatory: “It’s a series of tubes!”

Oh, 1969, you were so deliciously misogynistic! The wife does her Fancy Video Push-Button Shoppery, and the teeth-gnashing husband has to review and approve the bills on HIS console, giving him ample reason to give her a healthy smack in the mouth after his after-work martini because she spends too much fucking money.Love it!

The sexism of the husband having to approach her purchases aside, the video actually did a fairly good prediction of what online shopping turned out to be like.Ever notice that futurist videos from the 60s always show the men wearing turtlenecks? Why is that?
