    Mom Goes Shopping Online, Dad Pays the Bills in "1999 A.D."

    A young Wink Martindale starred in this Philco-Ford-produced educational film from 1967 that correctly predicts online shopping, banking, and email, but not the women's movement. 1999 A.D. was so eerily prescient in its vision of future technology that when clips started making their way round the internet last fall, there were questions about its authenticity. You can read more about the controversy, and see more clips here.
