1995 Video on Helena kids’ Internet predictions goes viral

A former Butte resident’s video http://www.matr.net/article-51530.html on Internet predictions made by kids in the 1990s has gone viral — racking up nearly a million views in a matter of days.

Mind-blowing bulky computer monitors, "bowl" haircuts and, well, cats abound in the 1995 announcement, but the knowledge the handful of Helena fifth graders shared with the world looked well beyond the infant Internet’s capabilities at the time.

"Well, by the time we’re in college, the Internet will be our telephone, television, shopping center and workplace," the kids say at the video’s opening.

Turns out they were spot-on.
