In 1967 the Philco-Ford Company produced a documentary about what life
will be like in 1999 (named "1999 A.D.") While the details were obviously
way off, the gist of some of the predictions was surprisingly accurate.
For example in this clip you see them predicting online shopping, online
banking and flatscreen monitors:

  (IIRC online shopping was still not a very big thing in 1999, but it
certainly existed, and isn't too far away from the current situation,
where online shopping is quite established.)
