    How did they know about home versions of VR and large screen flat TVs that some people use for both tv and video phone?

    AT&T did have commercials for video conf at home back in the 1980s hoping by 1990s to exist but fluid video calls wouldn't happen until well into the 2000s and a flat screen Plasma or LED screens didn't exist until 1998-99


    And how did they know many upper middle class neighborhood would go ghetto?

    However flying cars would not be a thing. Not hover cars but maybe VV22 ospreys might

    There were already VR systems being worked on in the 80s (and commercial ones available a the end of the 80s/early 90s...it's an obvious step to predict a home version from that (which came in the early 90s)

    https://virtualspeech.com/blog/history-of-vr

    "1985

    Jaron Lanier and Thomas Zimmerman founded VPL Research, Inc. This company is known as the first company to sell VR goggles and gloves. They developed a range of VR equipment, such as, the DataGlove, EyePhone HMD and the Audio Sphere."

    Flat screen TVs also date back to the 80s...(though different technology than todays)

    The Sinclair TV80, also known as the Flat Screen Pocket TV or FTV1, was a pocket television released by Sinclair Research in September 1983.

    Again not a huge leap to suggest 20/30yrs later there would be wall mountable ones

    I remember some kind of tron level of 80s 3D with just basic like geometry but some human like figures. like the music video Money is for nothing

    it made me dizzy as hell. i lost my footing and fell into the little ring cage thing you get into. like the size of a merry go round seat Ferris Wheel Seat. maybe bigger.

    I figured Zemeskis spoke with high tech guys in the day. I mean much of the coding ability was there but not the processing power nor the cost efficiency

    I think AI was started in the 1960s. Havard Yale Stanford perhaps? MIT I remember 60s it was starting to exist
