"The technology's not quite there yet," declared the digital Nostradamus, "but it will be within I'd say five years."
It was in 2007, not quite five years later, that Netflix announced it would begin streaming content to computers. Spotify, meanwhile, launched in 2008 — exactly five years later as Affleck predicted it would.
Who would have thought. Too bad Affleck's foresight didn't extend to other matters.
