Gregory's Server@sustainrelease @spocko Tesla wanted to make such a thing at the beginning of the last century, so in 1963 it was not even a prediction, but a promise of βsoon to be on saleβ, which was delayed (the first videophones were somewhere in the 80s, right?). I won't say anything about magic saucers and mirrors from fairy tales ;-)

 @sustainrelease @spocko But flying cars already exist. Though, it's hard to say what they do worse: driving or flying ;-) They will become widely available, I think, after the appearance of fully automatic autopilot: one would not want, moving along the streets, to look not only around, but also upwards.... |

Yeah, I think 80s would be about right for videophones. Actually, that is quite an astonishingly precise prediction in that article, although it was prolly one of the lower hanging ones in terms of future tech.
And, personally I still believe flying cars will be a thing at some point, too. ;)
