Aside from the robot to bring me beer, this is one of the best prediction-sets I've seen. I shop online at Peapod for groceries, and I'm scanning some docs to email to my accountant, so the "mail-slot" is about right too. Although, looks like they're predicting this for 1989, so they were a little optimistic. The funny thing is that this seemed wild and futuristic then, and now it's just mundane.
I try and maintain my sense of wonder...
