It's A Hoax! Fictitious POPULAR MECHANICS 1954 Home Computer Prediction

Snopes take on the Hoax

I think this is a fascinating phenomenon. I've seen this particular hoax rise from a fark photoshop competition to become one of the most popular hoaxes this year.

The creator of this "hoax" didn't publish it to be a "hoax". It was simply part of a photoshopping competition, but I think it's risen so quickly because of an odd quirk of our Modern culture. It's the same reason we don't respect our elders anymore.

We think our elders are stupid.
