Personalized gifts delivered via drone.
True AND False! It’s no secret that our phones have an easy time figuring out what we like. That being said, no internet bigwigs are using that information to send personalized gifts to citizens. HOWEVER, drones do deliver things, so this was still a win for Parks predictions.

TRUE! This wasn’t far-fetched, considering VR technology has existed for a while. However, Parks was correct in assuming they would be available for purchase by 2017.

A restaurant where all the sushi is made from fish that were once owned by celebrities.
FALSE! This hilarious/brilliant restaurant has yet to be launched. According to Parks, celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Paul Reiser, Peter Bogdanovich, and Josh Groban would all keep sea creatures as pets and then sell them to be eaten.
