Motorola’s “2000 A.D”
In 1990 Motorola produced a video depicting a Ubicomp type vision that was a little more conservative than some other ‘vision videos’ being produced around the same time but has many of the usual constituent elements. What is striking is that the use of mobile phones must have been ‘futuristic’ then but one can’t help considering it banal now…
I am indebted to Paleo-future for these videos, it seems to be a gold mine of an archive!!
