“Felicity” predicts iPad in 1999
Felicity‘s writers might not have been able to predict that letting their star cut her hair would doom the show, but the DID predict the iPad a full11 years before Steve unveiled it.
Thanks to faithful Macenstein reader Mike for the tip!
I cant believe this was actually part of a TV show, MY GOD thats boring!
Lord, do I love me some Amy Smart.
i wonder how many of those millions of computer stores on broadway are still in business.
Nice find. Actually there was a Leoperd on the Computer in 1985:

That Felicity…is there anything she can’t do? Speaking of do, didn’t she cut her hair short cause she was batting for the other team?
The iPAD she is referring to was an iMac-esque desktop computer, or “internet personal access device”, made by a company called Proview…

I reckon the Ipad she refers to is only showing her confusion on computers of that era… Her “thinkbooks” and “iPads” could actually be ibm’s thinkpad and apple’s iBook 🙂
