i could never find a complete compilation of all of these videos, so i put all 7 together and uploaded it for the world. looking back on these ads, i remember how moved i was when i first saw them. how, when i got to school on monday morning, kids would be talking about some new 'You Will' ad we saw during The Simpsons the night before. and now, 17 years later, i see that these commercials were eerily prophetic. seriously, the only one of these things that i don't do or haven't done are faxing from the beach (although i email, mms, and upload to the web all manner of pics and vids) and use a vioce-activated lock on my apt door. webcams, ez-pay, self-checkout, gps, wifi/wan, atms for tickets and driver licenses, on-demand video/tivo, realtime online multi-user video project collaboration, wristwatch cellphones we have almost everything. the only things we don't actually have are the automated voice-activated software agent (still in the works), "fax from the beach" (fax is dead, now we email, mms, etc. via wan/wifi/3G/4G), and videophone-booths (instead, video cell phones have existed since about 2003 and may even be in the next iphone). plus, i like the song they use.unfortunately, the song was made by a studio working for the ad agency who made the ads, so it's unavailable.
