gaeln9796From Atlas Obscura_See What People of 1967 Imagined the World Would Be Like in 1999
This short film, produced in 1967 by the Philco-Ford Corporation, a maker of battery-powered tech, imagines the distant future of the year 1999. Amid all the mid-century-modern set dressing, they actually got a lot of things right. In this “society of tomorrow,” we can see precursors to personal computers, email, FaceTime, podcasts (complete with the 2x speed feature), online shopping, 3D imaging and more.
From YouTube:
They got some things wrong, they got some things right. One thing they most definitely got right: casting actress Marj Dusay_Produced by Tom Thomas Organization for Philco-Ford Corp.
enjoy!!
