In the 80s Apple was a vibrant and innovative company, and it was natural to expect a great evolution in the coming ten years.
A video, from 1987, shows in a rather bizarre way a world of 1997 that is totally "Applecentric" and full of innovations that we are still partially waiting for today.
Between an entry into the world of (public) telephony, a pair of “Apple Glass” and even satellites with the apple, all sorts of amenities stand out: “there is no doubt,” comments the CEO of the time from 1997, “ that the '90s were Apple's decade."
Curiously, however, it will be the worst period for the Cupertino company: in 1993 Scully himself will give up the reins, and March 1996 will be the worst quarter, enough to put the very survival of the group at risk.
Woz's part
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak comes out in the video with a series of funny observations on the future of computers, also hypothesizing their use in the field of psychotherapy: “a talking computer is not a big deal,” He says. “Someone who really listens, that's a revolution!”
And it does not end here: there is room for everything, from holograms to an embryonic hypothesis of the Internet. In short, a parody full of brilliant intuitions about the future. It's funny, but still has something to say :)
