Badtux sees into the future, when all have been assimilated by the Zuckerborg.

Afterthought:

In the olden days, when I was a young ‘un, I read a lot of science fiction; I particularly favored Asimov and Heinlein (Heinlein was rather a jerk, but he was a good writer). I drifted away from science fiction when it became dystopian realistic. I think the last contemporary science fiction book I read was Beyond the Blue Event Horizon.

I remember reading a story, written in the 1950s or 1960s, in which the writer envisioned a world like that described by Badtux, in which persons remained in their rooms glued to their television sets (it was long before personal computers were a thing, or even an idea).

But I can’t for the life of me remember who wrote it.
