You're listening to the best of the Armstrong and Gettyshow predictions people made what year was this Sean in 1989? Yeah, 89 people made predictions of what the typical home would be like in the year 20 and 20 and

looking at the calendar hey hey that's this year in the year 2020. What else do we have going? Did they predict electric cars? We're going to be popular Tesla is now the most valuable car company in America. That's amazing. Should have held on to my stock. Idiot. Tesla's market capitalization is 93 billion compared to 50 billion for GM and 37 billion for Ford. I don't quite know what that means. Stock price multiplied by stock shares. But why does Tesla have a

lot of so much money the future. The kind of like early investors in Apple were more investing in Steve Jobs than any individual product. I think there's people who just want to be investors in whatever Elon Musk is involved in. Obviously if you look at the number there's gazillions more GM and Ford vehicles out there. Yes, yeah, this is not based on the profitability of Tesla. This is based on investors buying into the the cult of the market.

Elon for a lack of a better term. Everybody putting down their deposit on that crazy. What does that that truck called the cyber truck? Yes, he was driving around town with that. I think it was last week. I saw a video of him in. I want one of the looks so big, but they don't start making them until the end of next year. I was fine. They'll start making in the end of 21. I'll be a few more miles out of my car. I've been pimping Tesla like Don King for years and they still haven't sent me one. So I'm out. Forget it. Sell your own cars.

Sell your own car. I tried to prostitute myself and nobody's buying. Can you imagine how that makes me feel? I try to violate SCC laws and nobody will even help.

One more note on the fake news. It goes around the world much, much more quickly and and successfully than the truth. According to a giant new study of Twitter, which just reinforces ancient wisdom.

The point out in this story looks at. Sometimes when I hear fact check and fake news, I know it's going to be from CNN's point of view, wildly left. But this is very balanced and well written and.

And they give an example of a pro Donald Trump story that was there, completely true. They got 1300 shares or retweets and then a completely false Donald Trump story that got not 1300 but 38,000.

By the same users and they mentioned first fake news seems to be more novel than real news partly because it's designed to catch your attention. And fake news evokes much more emotion than the average tweet research created a database of words that Twitter users use to reply to the 126,000 contested tweets.

Then analyzed it with the state of the art sentiment analysis tool. Fake tweets tended to listen words associated with surprise and discussed while accurate tweets surprise and discuss right while accurate tweets summoned words associated with sadness and trust.

That's what we were when we worked. We did mornings at that rock station. Right surprise and discussed in the morning. Surprise. Wow.

I'm just. Right. And we made a lot of money back in the states. Anyway, so that's why it is with our surprising disgusting brand of rock.

You're man. So back this up again, who was making these predictions about what life would be like in 2020.

So this was 1989, I'm actually 1989, I do too. Your tech writers of the day, they kind of brought them all together and then put together this little.

A salty video. This describing their predictions.

Already. So 1989.

Well, is that supposed to be the music of 2020? We're going to be listening to this space music then.

What are going to be the biggest changes in our homes by 2020? Will the house of the future protect the environment?

And what new technology do researchers think we'll be living with?

Well, we'll be able to see hard core pornography or watch. Right. Will audio have nothing but mid range? What's going on with that voiceover?

It seems to be a recording of a recording of some sort of.

Okay. Well, we've been talking to some of the people who've been thinking about the homes of future. Christine McNulty.
