I remember watching this series as an 8-year-old in 1967. I don't remember that many specifics from back then, but now that I've revisited the program, I want that monthlong vacation the unnamed government report projected I'd have. You can keep the inflatable chair, though.
@@Brian.001 They didn't say Europe was a country. Just that we Americans live in the wrong country to expect things like a month-long vacation - which is common in European nations.
To clarify, I was kidding about wanting the month-long vacation. I want pensions to be returned to U.S. workers, I want the anti-trust laws to be used again (which the Biden administration is starting to do). I want health care, housing and education to be affordable and accessible to all, and I want the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection provision to invalidate "money is speech." To say we can't afford these things because we would have no money left over to invade countries we do not need to be invading is a perversion of logic. Tax the rich like we did in the '50s, break up monopolies, limit the army to repelling invasions and putting down internal rebellions (to which the constitution limits it), build the mass transit we really need and want. Two weeks of vacation is sufficient.
It is fantastic to learn about what people back then thought about how the future would be. Now, in the present 2023, what was science fiction and vision is reality and innovation. We still need flying cars, teleportation pods, and food replicators.
Some things, like being able to call up any sport of movie that we wanted, with surround sound (and all in color!) were pretty accurate, but they didn't seem to predict the miniaturisation of technology did they, they envisaged that every home would come with its own mixing desk to control everything

They were so optimistic... I wish we could have that back. Unfortunately, I think Blade Runner is closer to what will happen, minus the date of course.
That was a swingers bedroom, and the unibody bathroom made cleanup a breeze. Then the stainless steel kitchen counter with triple integrated sinks. The bathtub/shower is inside that big globe. I saw a circular kitchenette like that in a former grain silo on Extreme Homes. Yup! The swinging Pad of the 1970s hipster couple and their guests.
What i love most about living in the future is laying around smoking and reading newspapers all day, having a giant white sphere dominate my living room for no discernable reason, and having a kitchen that's reminiscent of an airplane lavatory. Totally makes up for needing to haul around inflatable furniture wherever I go! 😅 In seriousness, the fact that food irradiation fell out of use is a travesty. It's the triumph of ignorance and propaganda over science, and it's cost lives.
My Grandmother didn't understand microwave oven controls, and set it to thaw and cook a frozen chicken patty for 10 minutes instead of the single minute it would've taken. The chicken patty burned a hole through the microwave-safe plastic plate and filled our kitchen with smoke!
The home office was quite prescient, although it's taken rather later than predicted here for it to become common. The flatscreen monitors are quite interesting too - and we've finally got the video telephones that they were predicting for decades! 🤗 Not sure about the Master of the House being able to monitor every room by CCTV, though 🤔

One very weird thing I have noticed, which no one has ever mentioned before, is the way people used to pronounce the word "robot". In all the old sci-fi and futuristic videos, they always say "RO-bet". I am not sure why they did that, as it's obvious how it should be pronounced, or when it changed. Or why.
Different accents say words differently then others copy them. Especially now, I’m noticing people saying things like “discussing” for “disgusting” and they are two entirely different words with different meanings, not even just one word pronounced differently
What they often missed was that some things just didn't need improvement. We still eat Cheerios, Wheaties, oatmeal, and so on ... because the alternatives aren't better. Homes developed the way that they did because they were comfortable and practical -- you can make things drastically different but that doesn't mean it's a huge improvement.

Considering how much less things cost during the Mid-Century Modern Era before 1970s inflation, that home probably would've cost between the average home price of $25,000 and the mansion price of $50,000-$80,000.
Either you or your neighbors had some of these things. CD stereos, digital music players, stereophonic speakers 🔊 🎶 👌 and those lima beans called cars.
That integrated stainless steel kitchen in the round wouldn't have been out of place in those flying saucer homes of the 1960s. And purple shag carpet covered walls for enhanced insulation and sound absorption.
30 hour work weeks and 1 month of vacation???? There are people who only get 30 hours a week because the companies don't want to make them full-time... then the workers have to cobble together a few of these part-time jobs.
Our views of the future were generally positive until the 70s, when Soylent Green and Planet of the Apes were made. That was also when Offshoring and Feminism got going, coincidentally.
Someone needs to go back in time and tell the people to enjoy their lives. The "future" officially sux! Oh yeah... We still haven't discovered "time travel".

I notice the portable inflatable chair has a very non-inflatable framework to give it shape. It's more of an inflatable cushion.
