Over the show’s 32-year history, viewers have claimed that the The Simpsons has eerily been able to predict the future a number of times – from the Trump presidency in the episode Bart to the Future, to Richard Branson going into space in The War of Art.

During the scene, Professor John I.Q. Nerdelbaum Frink Jr. is chatting about his supercomputer, Frinkiac 7, as he tells people: “I predict that in 100 years, computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.”
