On August 1986, Michael Palin of the Sunday Telegraph Magazine, predicted that ‘time will soon come when no one will actually have to get to the office’ (because of technology).

  Now that we have the Net, wi-fi’s, cel phones, etc. his prediction might already be halfway true. His conclusion: ‘By the year 2050, we could all be back in the trees again (like monkeys) while below us our cars will be driving around on their own, phoning each other.’
