The Future’s So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades: Predicting the Future & The Origin of the iMac
When Andy Baio posted a 1987 internal video from Apple predicting the year 1997, I was instantly reminded of the accompanying video from Bill Gates’ 1995 tome, The Road Ahead.
So here they are – in their entirety:
Apple Time Capsule (1987 -> 1997):
The Road Ahead – Home (1995 -> 2004):
The Road Ahead – Education (1995 ->2004):
Also, check out this display in The Road Ahead. Look familiar?
Did Apple steal the design of the iMac from Bill Gates and Microsoft?!
WHAT?
