Jun 25, 2009 - Remember, this was the future envisioned by corporate America, not the social/environmental future. Back then, environmental impact was not realized yet.

Jul 8, 2009 - hahahah did they ever make fun of something like this?

simplythemediocre Says:

Jul 21, 2009 - They did. It's a show called Futurama. They take the piss out of this kind of stuff all the time.

simplythemediocre Says:

Jul 21, 2009 - This is horrific.

XxSTICH666xX Says:

Jul 21, 2009 - I was talking about Opie and Anthony.

simplythemediocre Says:

Jul 23, 2009 - What is this Opie Anthony you speak of? I live in Europe, a land where no such people have trod. ^o^

XxSTICH666xX Says:

Jul 23, 2009 - It's a very famous radio show.

simplythemediocre Says:

Jul 27, 2009 - Like I said, Europe, very famous to you could be a total nonentity to me. But thanks for explainin'

Jul 27, 2009 - Why, exactly?

miguelmouta Says:

Aug 2, 2009 - Indeed, its science lie.

simplythemediocre Says:

Aug 4, 2009 - I just found it a disturbing vision of the future, it whitewashes over anything bad by saying that "technology will fix everything!" without acknowledging that it's technology that made those problems in the first place. The thing about the rainforests being demolished and paved over? That's just going to fuck with our ability to live on the planet.

Aug 4, 2009 - I can see the wires..... There were to be no wires in the future. Maybe that's why I'm so bitter.

Sep 7, 2009 - This is pretty funny if you think about it. Welcome to the future as we show you how we will destroy the forest the polar ice regions and the bottom of the ocean floor. All made possible by the wonderful technology of man! Actually it is pretty darn scary accurate.

hotdawger Says:

Sep 7, 2009 - The old man they keep showing is thinking, "Dang! Why if only I could live to see it! Why...oh why was I born in 1880?" The boy is about 10 which makes him about the same age as the old man now. Do you think he feels cheated because there are no freeways sans accidents or traffic and that we don't all live in super chick highrises?

Sep 15, 2009 - They copied dr No's underwater house

eXAKR Says:

Sep 16, 2009 - I have a "Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge" encyclopedia that contains photographs of the models shown in that video; remember being awed and inspired by them as a child, and they still do inspire me. It's quite great to be able to see some of those models in motion and from another visual perspective here.

eXAKR Says:

Sep 16, 2009 - True that. Luckily, we still don't have factories on wheels to build roads, though I could say that the current technology we have is somewhat more destructive than the one depicted in the video.

Nov 3, 2009 - Intead we got the iPod

loboguara1 Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - As horrific as this is, the anti-human movement of the green cults horrifies me just as much. They're so sick they actually want humans to be extinct.

loboguara1 Says:

Nov 13, 2009 - So you're okay with losing your job and going to sling asphalt for your new career? Or did you mean "other people?

Ryantravisaol Says:

Nov 15, 2009 - The people that do those types of jobs make over $30 an hour, if I lost my job and had no income I would jump at the opportunity. What point are you trying to get to, if you don't mind me asking?
