Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 For TCD Act 4 COP 70's pic Thanks! I love it. So, this is supposed to be in the future? See the modern building there outside the window? But look at that futuristic TV! Good stuff! I really would like to hear the audio from that scene. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 That is Progress City, isn't it? I thought that building looked familiar. So, our family is living in one of the outer rings of Progress City. Isn't the future grand? Back then we could look forward to carrying around a portable television. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to watch TV wherever you were? Just extend the antenna and BAM! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I remember when these came out....they were very cool but the reception sucked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnBob 311 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I just last week threw away a TV exactly like that, I couldn't even give it away at a yard sale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I remember when these came out....they were very cool but the reception sucked. Very cool. According to what I could find, those came out in 1982. I wonder what they cost? One thing that I always mention to my kids is how the predictions and depictions of the future in the '70's rarely showed anything having to do with home computers and nothing like the smart phones we have now. If they had shown something like an iPhone or people using the internet or facetime, nobody would have believed it. If computers were shown, they were giant things with all kinds of blinking lights and spinning tapes and such. While I still wish I had my flying car, it is pretty amazing to think about how far computers and phones have advanced in the last 30 years. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I had a Sony Watchman and used it for years. But mine had a screen twice as big as the above picture. Think I paid around $150 for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 My fourth grade teacher told us we would be able to fly to the moon as cheap as domestic airfare and vacation on the moon by the time we turned 25. So for me that would have been in 2000. That was a pretty good prognostication accept for the.......well all of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
