How many predictions BBC got right about the world in 2025 when it made them 30 years ago

The article from LADbible discusses the BBC's 1960s show "Tomorrow's World," which made several predictions about life in 2025. It highlights some of the show's forecasts, including the idea of a "health passport" where individuals could carry their medical records on a card, a concept that resonates with today's digital health records. Other predictions included the use of robots in daily life, with one segment showing a robot serving drinks, and the notion of video calls, which has become a reality with platforms like Zoom and Skype. The show also envisioned a future where people could live in underwater homes, although this has not come to pass. While some predictions were remarkably accurate, others like the widespread use of hover cars or the eradication of diseases like cancer by 2025 were overly optimistic.
