Making The Most Of The Micro

I was watching an episode of a BBC programme called Making The Most Of The Micro (which originally aired in the early to mid 80's) the other day that I had downloaded and I was facinated to see what thier vision of the future was. At one point they talked about storage and I had a bit of a chuckle about how they said that you would never require a storage capacity of 100 Gigabytes for a home computer, but there may be applications in the Military and Government!

My question is what is the most misguided / funny vision of the future of computing that you ever heard? Preferably ones that have already panned out to be very wide of the mark.
