My mom’s fascination with tech was birthed by this video.

70 years later I'm working from and ordering hot food straight to my door with the press of a button. Gotta love those innovators they would have copped so much slack for their ideas.

Amazing to see how far we've come from 1955's video phone vision. Now we're discussing quantum computing and AI. Innovation knows no bounds when the human mind dreams big.

Totally cutting edge for the time - must has been mind blowing. 🤯

lol. 😂. Where’d that technology go?

Future inspirations. @BrianRoemmele
