Was watching this movie over the weekend, and you know the bit where he arrives in 1966, and there's just about to be a nuclear/final destruction?

He's talking to his friend's son just before the people go into the bunker, and in the window of the supermarket there's an item labelled as "The latest in tubeless television screens" and whaddayaknow, there's an Ipad. A white one.

I liked the episode of Wishbone where they're looking at a gallery of human inventions, and it ends with a PC, and then some matte black prism that looks like the thing on the cover of Presence. The future!

(the Wishbone ep was covering the novel of The Time Machine)
