What's mind-blowing is that this vision was conceived over 50 years ago.

令人震驚的是，這一願景是 50 多年前提出的。

當然，他們也不是事事都做得很好。

They used labeled buttons instead of keyboards, and a single-function computer instead of smartphones.

他們用標籤按鈕代替鍵盤，用單一功能的電腦代替智能手機。

Still, 1999 A.D. nailed the core concept of the tech-filled house of tomorrow that we're living in today.

儘管如此，《公元 1999 年》還是抓住了我們今天所處的充滿科技的未來之屋的核心理念。

Number nine, increased human height, John Elfrith Watkins.

One fascinating guess he made was that the average American would be approximately one to two inches taller in the next century.

Long before bullet trains became reality, Watkins envisioned them, which is pretty bold for someone who existed in an era where steam trains ruled the tracks.
