Late night open thread

Predictions made in the 1950's about life in the year 2000:

*The cans that food comes in will be edible too
*With a flip of a switch your car will automatically follow a route on an electronic highway
*Unmanned satellites will allow forecasters to control the weather
*We will watch television on a flat screen that hangs on the wall
*Stoves will have controls that prevent food from burning

Flat TeeVees on the wall, preposterous

Time for Ypsilanti, After Dark

STUPID future!
