I mentioned this morning that I used to draw comic strips. I went back this afternoon and dug up some from (gasp!) 30 years ago. I published these in my school paper in 1993 as a cheeky parody of the AT&T “You Will” ad campaign where they made predictions of future technologies that have mostly come true or are even obsolete by now.

For those who haven’t seen these commercials before (or since the early ’90s), enjoy!

Extra bonus to the first person who can name the actor who narrated them!

Oh wow! I was just a toddler back then.

But it is really fascinating watching this now and seeing how humanity has progressed in terms of technological evolution. The vision to develop new innovations that will change how we do things in a much better way has always been there.

The comic strips are really wonderful and hilarious 😎😂

Thanks! It’s obvious that these ads were inspired by Blade Runner and have an ironically dystopian feel even though they are making predictions of positive technological advancements. I truly loved them, which is why they were so much fun to parody.
