Here's an ad from IBM circa 2006 predicting(?) this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eob532iEpqk

Crazy to think we're actually here now. And even sans-RFID.

It's actually from the 90s [1]. So much so that I thought it was one of the AT&T "You Will" commercials [2].

Glad to know I wasn't alone in thinking it was an AT&T one...that's what I searched for first. Those were the 80s though, right?

1993. I had to look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Will

And David Fincher? Wow. No idea.
