Ha! That’s great. The old stereotypes are hilarious as well, “What the wife selects on her console, the husband will pay for on his counter-part console.”

That’s wild. Pretty much spot on accurate 30 years ahead of it’s time. Somebody has some pretty good vision.

@Adam – Some dangerous talk in that video, how times change eh? :)

@Scott – The only thing that seems off is they thought there would be loads of separate devices rather than one or two? Although, I guess we do have the video recorder, the console, the computer, laptop ..
