The Simpsons have been around for quite time now, 28 years to be exact and during this
period they have predicted the future a number of times. So let's look at the 10 times
the Simpsons predicted the future. At number one in an episode that aired in
2008, Homer's voting machine changed his vote. Fastfoward to 2012 where A Pennsylvania
voting machine has been removed after it was found turning votes for President Obama into
a vote for Romney. At number 2 In 1995, Lisa's future
fiance could verbally communicate with his watch and in 2013 Samsung released a watch
that doubles as a smartphone. At number 3 is the Fifa corruption scandal
In the 2014 episode 546, the simpsons showed a fifa official getting arrested for corruption
by American authorities. Fast forward to 2015 to real life when 14 people were indicted
by fbi in connection with the Fifa corruption. At number 4 The baby translator
In 1992 Homer's half brother invented something as the baby translator into English. Then
in 2009 a Spanish developer released an Iphone app that they claimed could translate baby
noises into 5 categories, which were hungry, sleepy, bored, annoyed or stressed.
At number 5 In 1998, Springfield kids were stoked about a yard work simulator which allowed
them to have their own virtual farm. Sound familiar, well this episode came about way
before the popular craze of Farmville. At number 6 In 1991, Homer dreamed of the
Land of Chocolate during a meeting. In 2013 China opened its first ever chocolate-themed
park and a special chocolate exhibition opened in Shanghai.
At number 7 In a 1995, The Simpsons showed future phones had video capabilities.
Well this one doesn't need to be explained as almost every smart phone has video caller.
At number 8 Forget Miley Cyrus, Homer Simpsons was the first to ride a wrecking ball in 1994
way before miley decided to ride it naked. Well now we know where she got the idea from
At number 9 Auto correct We all know how annoying and funny auto correct
can be, but the simpsons predicted this way back in 1994.
And last but not least is another Fifa related prediction. In the same episode 546 which
aired a few months before the world cup, the simpons predicted that Germany would win the
title and a few months later, Germany wont the world cup. Freaky right?
