Not really Cassette Futurism (or Vaporwave) but I think folks here might like it still. cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/8081021 > Not really Vaporwave, but not too sure where it fits. These styles inspired a lot of Vaporwave things so I thought you might enjoy.

Within ten years video cameras like this could be replaced by 3-D holographic recorders. > 3. Flat screen TV. No longer a bulky box, TV has shrunk to a thickness of less than five centimetres. This one is used to order shopping via a computerised shopping centre a few kilometres away. The system takes orders and indicates if any items are not in stock. > 4.

Reports indicate that it may be little more than a toy however, so it will be a few years before 'Star Wars' robots tramp through our homes. > 6. Mail slot. By 1990, most mail will be sent in electronic form. Posting a letter will consist of placing it in front of a copier in your home or at the post office. The electronic read-out will be flashed up to a satellite, to be beamed to its destination.

Later models were equipped with conventional push-button stereo and climate controls. The new system eliminated the trip computer functionality and the climate control buttons could access diagnostic information, replacing the diagnostic scanner capability formerly provided by the touchscreen.
