Walt Disney's Letter to the Future

So, our good buddy Walt Disney wrote a letter to the future, half a century in the future to be exact. Written in 1956, it didn't see the light of day till this year.

And I got to tell you, the man knows what he's talking about. Somehow, he describes the internet without even knowing it. "Millions of people in massive assemblies around the world may now be viewing the same staged or natural event, scanned by some incredibly potent scope, in the same amount of time."

He also has some great points about human nature.

"Humanity, as history informs us, changes very slowly in character and basic interests. People need play as much as they need toil. They never cease to be fascinated by their own powers and passions, their base or noble emotions, their faiths and struggles and triumphs against handicap--all things that make them laugh and weep and comfort one another in love and sacrifice out of the deeps of their being."
