21 Years After AT&T Showed Us Their Vision of the Future, How Right Were They?
July 2, 2015
[Commentary] Around mid-1994, AT&T released a series of ads called “You Will,” highlighting things that seemed completely futuristic at the time, and now seem either normal, quaint, or ridiculously outdated. Directed by David Fincher, who would later go onto direct "Fight Club", "Gone Girl", and be part of the creation of "House of Cards", the ads made most geeks like myself giddy for the future, amazed by what was coming just a few years down the road. Twenty-one years later, I thought it might be fun to take a look at what Fincher and AT&T got right and got wrong. Enjoy!
