Wow, that's a great video. Hilarious! It is amazing how far we've come in such a (relatively) short period of time.

That's awesome - I've never seen something like that and it's not even that long ago.. I'm surprised how much development was made since that time :) Today, nearly everything is possible and I'm already excited what's coming in the next few years! Great post :)
