Smartwatches (Predicted: 1995, Came True: 2014)
In Season 6’s “Lisa’s Wedding” (1995), a futuristic scene shows characters using wrist-mounted communication devices resembling smartwatches. This aired nearly two decades before the Apple Watch debuted in 2014. The show’s depiction of wearable tech reflects writers’ foresight into the evolution of personal devices, a logical extension of 1990s mobile phone trends.
