#1978: Congressional Testimony

XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Megan and Cueball sitting against a leafless tree; they are on opposite sides.]

Megan: Mark Zuckerberg is testifying before Congress this week.

Cueball: Should be interesting.

[Beat panel.]

Megan: I recently re-watched Terminator.

Cueball: Yeah?

Megan: It's weird that the thing that evolved into Skynet wasn't our nuclear launch systems or our humanoid robots.

Megan: It was the phone book where the Terminator looked up Sarah Connor's address.

Cueball: Funny how things turn out.

Title text:James Cameron's Terminator 3 was the REALLY prophetic one. That's why Skynet sent a robot back to the 1990s to prevent him from ever making it, ultimately handing the franchise over to other directors.
