That’s pretty spot on, I’m especially impressed by the “every hour” news, which has absolutely been a thing for news casts for a while now.
I wonder how he would have responded to the ability for instant news? And every hour becoming kind of old fashioned.

We do have small aircraft (drones) being used for deliveries now though, so not completely wrong
These phone services were the current tech when the strip was printed.
