Tablets and Smart Homes
“Have you ever kept an eye on your home while you’re not at home?” Selleck asks. We see a lady on a futuristic train with a tablet in her hand, upon which is a diagram of her house. The woman is able to turn the lights on at her house simply by punching buttons on the tablet. This prediction of our smart home future was pretty damn accurate, though it must have seemed odd to viewers in the 1990s, most of whom probably didn’t even have cell phones yet. That said, I don’t think most of us are ever going to own a massive hillside chateau of the kind featured in this commercial.
