The Hilarious Prophecies of an Astrologer Who Saw Our Tech Obsession Coming

What if an eccentric 1950s astrologer had perfectly predicted everything from smartphones to AI—but described them in the most absurd way possible?

Meet Pandit Ji, the forgotten seer who foresaw:
"People will hold glowing bricks more than their children's hands" (Smartphones)
"Food will rot in cold tombs while the hungry watch" (Refrigerators)
"Machines will write love letters... badly" (ChatGPT)

In this laugh-out-loud journey through eight decades of technological "progress," discover:
Accurate (and sarcastic) predictions about TVs, social media, and robot vacuums
Darkly funny insights into how we misuse technology
A time capsule of human folly—from 1950s housewives fearing microwaves to 2020s influencers worshipping algorithms
