Every time the simpsons predicted new technology and got it right



The Simpsons get a smart house before it’s cool

Marge talking to Lisa about their new smart home on The Simpsons

It often takes a more far-out framing device to see “The Simpsons” dabble with new technology. “Treehouse of Horror XII” includes a segment where the family gets a new smart home, tricked out by a nefarious AI voiced by Pierce Brosnan. It does everything for them, from cooking their favorite foods to cleaning the dinner table. Of course, the AI also falls in love with Marge and tries to kill Homer, but before that, it shows off some pretty nifty technology.
