There was a short story written in 1968 that I read when I was a kid, and even though the world described in it was utterly alien, its details stuck in my memory. As time went on, whenever a new technology was introduced into every day life, I would get the strangest sense of recognition. In any case, this discussion has triggered my memory, and I was able to find the original story online. Rereading it 20 years since, I recognize the underlying premise as pretty naive and laughable, but I still marvel at how many details the author was able to get right writing this piece 45 years ago:
