Subject: RE: BS: Was the internet ever predicted
just remembered Dick Tracy comic strip......"Another thing Tracy has always been famous for is up-to-date technology. In 1964, he traded in his two-way wrist radio, which had been given to him in 1946 by inventor Diet Smith, for a two-way wrist TV; and in '86 he exchanged the TV for a two-way wrist computer."

not 'exactly' the internet, but much of the same technology....predicted in the 1940s to 1960s.
