All except for the AT&T part.

Not bad at all. The only major error was the idea that phone booths would be used instead of mobiles, but other than that, spot on. It's interesting to note that I'm fairly certain that an ad made 20 years ago would have been vastly less accurate (the lack of laptops or anything remotely like a commercial internet would be sufficient to screw up predictions). I wonder if the valid prediction time now is still 16 years or if it is sooner - that would definitely be a useful measure of technological acceleration.

That voice sounds familiar. Probably some actor. I wonder who.
