iPad Predicted by The Onion in 2008 [Video]
I am a big fan of The OnionThe Onion Movie reviews
, and when they started coming out with video I was ecstatic! Their dry sense of humor with their ridiculous yet scarily-close-to-reality mimics have always been a true inspiration to me. Somewhere in mid-2008, I remember watching this oddball less-than-plausible but still hilarious as usual sketch called “Apple Introduces Revolutionary Laptop Without Keyboard.” In 2008 the idea seemed ridiculous, but nowadays, at the top of a new century, we have exactly what The Onion was mocking as ridiculous: A keyboardless laptop. Without realizing it, The Onion had predicted the iPad in their strange Onion-like way! I completely forgot about it until my friend Irene Koehler from Almost Savvy posted it on FacebookFacebook
today – I just had to share this with my readers. Thanks Irene!
