This video clip from 1967 displays incredible foresight about the future of on-line shopping and email on home computers. It’s easy to laugh at the primitive credit/debit displays on the home computer screens, but remember this video was made almost 20 years before the term “internet” became commonplace. And most consumers didn’t become comfortable with online shopping until 2000 or later.
