home office (Photo credit: Sean MacEntee)

What will it be like in the future? What new inventions might occur? I saw a video recently with Walter Cronkite made in 1967 talking about the home office of the future. At the time the video was made, it was all like science fiction as he demonstrated what he called a computerized communications console.

Below are some of the main points of the video:

• It was a peek into the 21st century
• Equipment is shown that would carry on business from the home
• A console would allow us to get the news from all over the world
• Another console would allow us to check in on the latest weather
• We could get reports on stock we might own
• We could see and talk to anyone from anyplace in the world
• No one would have to go to work because the work would come to them
