A Better Way for the Future.
Oh gosh, how utterly neat.
Some of it came true, most of it… not.
At least, we had a clear vision on the future when I was exactly zero years old.
PS1: I loved the Emergency Unit at around the 1:40 mark.
PS2: And the music is swell too.

“everybody looks so thin, eventhough they never have to walk” - reminds me of a Mad parody from not long after this (well, probably mid-60s-ish) about how the motor scooter would take over the world, to the point where scooters would be slung from the backs of cars, so that people wouldn’t have to walk from their car to their front door. And once inside the house… they’d still travel around on scooters. Kids wouldn’t learn to walk, they’d learn to ride a scooter. Until eventually, Americans would become specially scooter-adapted wobbly round-bottomed creatures (like Weebles, if you know what they are) who would be invaded by scrawny hordes from the East, and would prove easy pushovers, like the Romans 2000 years before them.

Aah … The charming naivity of the fifties. Their rock-sold believe in the future, wich looks invariably bright and quite Jetson’s-like. No computer in sight, but everything works flawlessly nevertheless.
And everybody looks so thin, eventhough they never have to walk.
