(1993) Have you ever paid more than $100 a month for your phone bill?...or been contacted by a stranger from Nigeria about a rich uncle you never heard about? ...or had you credit card cloned by an anonymous store clerk so he/she could pay for a sex change operation on line?
...You will. And the company that will bring it to you... AT&T

Very cool. I think I actually remember laughing at those commercials in 1993, and yet they were pretty spot-on. Even when they were wrong, they were wrong for pretty forgivable reasons. No one sends a fax from the beach, because email replaced faxing before the tech for for portable wireless data transmission was very mainstream. And video conferencing tech wasn't really viable until after phone booths were on the decline. Great commercials though. Very cool and forward looking, even though I don't think AT&T brought many of those ideas to market in the end.

Pretty damn amazing advertising in retrospect.
