Orson would have blown a sh*t fit if he was told he couldn't smoke his stogie in the cab, or on the plane, at his desk in the office, or even outside in Times Square in NYC!
Well, we still don't have animatrons walking along in the United Nations owned National Parks.Pan Am went defunct on December 4, 1991. Orson Wells is too fat for the media, today, and he smokes too much which is illegal in much of the world's 'commons'. Did you see him in the airport? Smoking? cough, cough. He didn't get molested and stripped by the TSA, either. Didn't they see that coming for our future? He was smoking in a cab, tisk, tisk, that is not permitted or legal, now.
He was using old fashioned notebook, ha ha, instead of a lap top computer. All of our minds are now controlled at birth with drugs. Baby born normal? Give him 26 different vaccines - that will take care of it. Baby disgruntled? Feed him GMO's and fluoride in the water, baby food, filtered water, most over the counter medicines. Still not enough? Chemtrails will help with the aluminum and barium it contains. Still not enough?
Government School indoctrinations will help keep that kid in line and if not, legal anti depressants and illegal drugs, will and then the lucrative prison/slave labor centers will make a profit for the many government and other investors like many people in Congress. Alcohol is found in many forms now and one can drink themselves into acceptance and if not, go to the fluoride compounds that are in the anti depressants.
Future Shock failed to see NAFTA coming, my o my, how did that happen? No more American Industry, what are the children to do? How about protesting? Future Shock failed to see the BIG picture of GMO's (genetically fucked with and modified seeds-compliments of the Mega-Corp: MONSANTO).
Future Shock failed to see the INTERNET - Wow that was a big one, huh? I guess Mr. Toffler doesn't know that much. Science and technology are only what we know and discover and we will know, learn, and discover for the rest of time. Schools, then, can and are mere indoctrination centers for corporations that have vested interests in keeping people thinking what they want you to think and learn.

They looked close to creating a 'Roomba’ floor cleaner, however. They didn't see that with the need to have two incomes, the family would break apart, or did they?
Social Services certainly makes out with collecting $5,000. or more per head they remove from a family. Just 'human resources', that’s all. We really are owned by the State. I laugh at the cigarette smoking, too. They took that away but they still spray us with chemtrails and vaccinate us with toxic monkey pus. Hey, and Sex sells, don't we know it? Lurid movies and now, in HD and 3D can slam our brains into overdrive and not a little subliminal directives implanted along with it,

"Thanks, Mom, You Didn't Flush Me Down A Toilet" another banner held by the frustrated youth who didn't know of the 'Georgia Guide stones' that tell of a NWO without THEM. The pollution that the world suffers from, now, comes from industries that REFUSED to clean up and fought tooth and nail to continue to pollute. Government allowed a menial fine to be paid, by them, for them to continue to pollute and the EPA was and is a joke.
We were sold down the river by polluting and colluding industries and government/Congress. Toffler didn't see today and NOBODY can see our future, either. Because of this film I can safely say that only We the People can make the future a safe and happy place, a beautiful and balanced place and to do that is by not following the bull shit that has been shoveled our way from the corporate scum that we all know or should know and have come to despise
Is it a small coincidence that Hal Lindsey's "Late Great Planet Earth" and Alvin Toffler's "Future Shock" came out the same year? Oh no! The world is changing too fast, it must be the end of the world!
It cheesy but if u do think about we are in some ways push to buy the new things even the ads on tv seem to come out louder than the tv shows or I'm just getting old
This movie might be old, but the process of continuous change still the same. If you'd grown up in, say, the 1930s, then the 1970s would have seemed just as bewildering as a later generation viewing the 21st century. The technology has simply moved on. Technologies that were once the province of wild Science-Fiction speculation can now be purchased at you local supermarket. Buy now, because these products will be obsolete next month.
OH MY GOD, A TV BIGGER THAN 30 INCHES!!!!! A BOX THAT CAN DO STUFF-A COMPUTER?!?!?!? A BLOCK OF PLASTIC THAT CAN RING PEOPLE...A .... A.....CELL PHONE!!!!!
Beginning is hilarious -- great old analog synthesizer music combined with the surreal futuristic images are like a very "B" sci-fi flick -- fun. Then Orson appears, walking in the airport, speaking as he takes tokes on his big cigar. . . .I never read the book, though it was very popular. I guess Toffler had a point (in general). At the time I didn't feel it at all, but now I do. Images, like the tractor-trailer rig with what looks like 50 tags really take me back -- and makes me laugh!
I think people have adapted to hyperchange much better than Toffler predicted. He did not presume the internet in Future Shock as much he did in Third Wave. The 24 hour news cycle we have today has been adapted to as well. News organizations have done well to keep step, but they are now frustrated at being drowned out by internet based media.
Thanks for uploading this, its brilliant. I would love to get a higher quality version - would you be able to send me one? I would really appreciate it.
to be fair... parents can pick the skin color and eye color if they are willing to pay to manipulate the babies DNA... human genome project for you man
@LVL60Beltran Because they were creative. Some people associate bright colors and a brave use of creative imagery with "being on an acid trip". Another good question would be, "why do intros to everything in 2010 are more like a trip on some drug that sucks the originality and most of the life right out of you?"
Well, we live in 2010 and I should say, technology can't controll a human being... any machine is doing exactly what it has been told to do... and what is really needed for so called "third wave" is an enermous amount of energy, which we don't have... and revolutionary new processors and stuff, so I think we should calm down and live our life peacefully. nevertheless thanks for the movie, quite interesting. ))
@Temza87 the thing is.. what happens when you disagree with the man who instructs the machine. Sometimes i stop at a red light, and there is no need to. Sometimes people rely on tech and systems to put a person in jail. We need to believe in those systems.. but they might be at fault 0.001% of the time due to a set of coincidences.. but if ur the .001% who is effected, then this tech owns you.
@funkmike Bookstores? What are those? We are losing them so fast around here it isn't funny! So you won't be able to smoke in something that doesn't exist.
I am currently again reading Alvin Tofller's book! What amazing insight this man had. He predicted many of the things that are going on today, without the mass hysteria and doomsday predictions that permeate the airwaves of today. We, need to realize the dream of the Third Wave, and become the change that the world needs now. Please let all your friends know about this film. The book and film speak to the needs of today.
I have to laugh at this film:-) oh I like it. Don't get me wrong, but I wish mr wells had lived to see a computer in every household, the internet, cellphones and itouches. I think he'd be hiding in that concrete bunker with a rifel:-)
"Keep up with the latest" - that's exactly this expectation that you have to break.
Those who like to be in control (and that includes me), need to give up the notion of being able to deeply evalulate everything, or, even better: not even _expose yourself to the choices_ from the very beginning. Try that.
If theye were so scarred by choice overflow in 1972 I wonder if they thought that today's world state would be even possible to exist. and here we are!
The new doll sounds like Elmo from "Sesame Street". I was accidentally exposed to that muppet the other day, when I You-tubed Diane Krall on "Sesame Street".
Prolonged exposure to his annoying voice, in my opinion, will lead to ear cancer. He's worse than Steve Urkel ("Family Matters").
Chill out Orson Wells! It is a fucking plastic doll, not a real baby. It is call Capitalism, which is way fucking better than living in North Korea. I'll take a Wal*Mart anyday to an empty storefront in Communist Cuba.
@mccarrpo i wish communisim had ended. China is communist.we are in dept up to our eyeballs with them.Our economy depends on them.They have an affect on our policies.They must.So while we slowly and incrementally loose our wealth property and freedoms. Keep telling yourself, reagan and phil collins ended communisim.
@mccarrpo Well when this was made Marxism was stilling followed by huge swaths of the world. Its bit rich coming from the communists about modernation and technology destroying the world... When the entire point of Communism was in imbracing modernism, modernity and new technology so it would free the proliterate from the slavery of the old ways. In effect capitalism has done what they set out to do much more effectively and modernise the world.
What the hell? Orson Wells thinks updating the phone directory with those machines is so technologically advanced? Those machines ain't shit! I mean, give me an ipad any day of the week over those machines! And did that store really have 8 tracks for sale? What the fuck? I mean, what store still sells fucking 8 tracks? Anybody in this documentary ever hear of an Mp3? Did Orson Wells ever hear of an Mp3 or a blackberry or an ipad? What "future" is he living in?
@jmoon219 Don't be silly this was made in the year 1972 when mp3's, ipad's and blackberriess didn't even exist. Even in the eights or the ninties come too that, if you said that these things would come about nobody would have believed you. For time they were advanced these technologies so it would be better to take more of an historical perspective with this film and than stay in the eternal present that is Post Modernism.
The video and the book were overly dramatic. He's making minor changes and improvements out to be emotionally scarring when they are not. The world has been changing, in small ways and large, for millennia.
@560e The world may be ever changing but this planet and the human race aren't. The planet has finite resources. If we wish to survive for as long as possible we need to stop consuming. Ever taken Managerial Accounting? It's disgusting.
Lol, if this guy saw Lady Gaga, he'd be like, "0,0 !!!!"
I think she's the epitome of future shock weirdness. I love studying social change, and it's facinating.
I have no problem with the future so far, and I embrace it... I love it all, pop culture, huge cities, strange fashion, weird cults/subculture... :D .. such a cool time to live in, imo.
@666ouroboro **Lol, if this guy saw Lady Gaga, he'd be like, "0,0 !!!!"
I think she's the epitome of future shock weirdness.** Absolute bullshit. Everything she does has been done before, and her styles are taken from then and earlier. We live in regurgitating times. It's really strange how clueless many seem to be regarding that.
What the fudge were the people of the '70s on? God! How awful everything was - cinematography, art, music. Sure, there were good movies and music, but the everyday stuff was awful. I'm glad you guys got off that LSD so we could move on from that decade! If I lived in the '70s, the future wouldn't have been able to come soon enough!
The "impermanence" Toffler wrote about 40 years ago is very much here. Some feel that technology is a runaway rocket sled that's dragging us to places too far and too fast for our own good. Virtues like patience and self-reliance are all but gone in today's children. "Future Shock" might not be the planet-ending scourge Toffler warned us about, but it's still something to consider.
@laronmaron98 well if you look at things like you tube, bringing extremities together it is possible that things like the internet could have a profound effect on humanities demise, you literally dont need to leave your house anymore, work shop and socialise from home is possible and here, that could have dire consequences if that catches on, what happened to a good game of football in the street?
Thanks for sharing this video! I believe in "future shock," but what makes me even more anxious is this documentary! It's really made to overemphasize their point, I guess.
We watched this documentary twice in Freshman College English. A lot of information in this may be accurate but it's presented in such an over-the-top way.
The first 1¼ were pretty creepy, even today. I think I may have nightmares now. O.O
A big part of the problem today in relation to what he was saying about manufactured consumer goods is affluenza, which became particularly epidemic during the yuppie 80's as well as the last dozen or so years. That combined with an accompanying disposable culture has an adverse effect on the environment. to say the least. And the thing about loss of community was very prophetic.
I find modern society exillerating, so many choices so many options, its wonderfull in the freedom it demands of use. I can understand how before the age of the internet to much information seemed confusing.
It is technology that has given us this great luxury to sit around and pontificate about how "stressful" our lives are today in contrast to those of 100, 200, or 300 years ago where families suffered illness and malnutrition, were illiterate and lived in deplorable conditions. If you berate the iPad or the Nintendo, you may as well be berating (among other things) clean water, hospitals, and the widespread access to education and entertainment unthinkable to those people in the past.
Notice that what drives all these problems is Consumption/Commerce - Don't fall behind keep up, BUY now! It's not change or technology, but the way it's used that causes these problems.
To move from Future Shock to Future Comfort, Google "Peter Joseph -Where are we Going" or "Awakenings part 1-4" on YT. Tech-Knowledge should be used to Improve our lives as it always has. Once we take it out of the context & control of the shallow Profit Motive, it will become mankind's best hope for the future.
What this work fails to consider is HOW technology is used. Tech is a hammer, eyeglasses, a better way of teaching. Tech is the ONLY thing that improves the lives of humans. It ALL depends on HOW it is used. In the hands of greedy corporations & governments it is usually negative. Also, it's not that "the future comes too soon" it's that human culture is too slow to adapt due to being conditioned to hold onto the past by the establishment who wants to protect the Status Quo-W/ them in control.
the opening felt like some part of a Dr. Who episode, and those robot/droids kinda look like something that was in Dr. Who..
The kid in this makes me think on how different being a kid is now form when I was a kid in the late 80's, Also I love those compartment building, sadly most of them settled and cant be redone like they were planed so now they just tare them down.
i recently overhead two girls talking, they were proabably about 14 years old. one of the girl's cellphone rang and she told her friend that it was her "X" calling.
at such a young age she was already refering to another human being as being an "X". it's really a sad that world we have come to now.

This movie might be old, but the process of continuous change still the same. If you'd grown up in, say, the 1930s, then the 1970s would have seemed just as bewildering as a later generation viewing the 21st century. The technology has simply moved on. Technologies that were once the province of wild Science-Fiction speculation can now be purchased at you local supermarket. Buy now, because these products will be obsolete next month.

Beginning is hilarious -- great old analog synthesizer music combined with the surreal futuristic images are like a very "B" sci-fi flick -- fun. Then Orson appears, walking in the airport, speaking as he takes tokes on his big cigar. . . .I never read the book, though it was very popular. I guess Toffler had a point (in general). At the time I didn't feel it at all, but now I do. Images, like the tractor-trailer rig with what looks like 50 tags really take me back -- and makes me laugh!

I think people have adapted to hyperchange much better than Toffler predicted. He did not presume the internet in Future Shock as much he did in Third Wave. The 24 hour news cycle we have today has been adapted to as well. News organizations have done well to keep step, but they are now frustrated at being drowned out by internet based media.

Well, we live in 2010 and I should say, technology can't controll a human being... any machine is doing exactly what it has been told to do... and what is really needed for so called "third wave" is an enermous amount of energy, which we don't have... and revolutionary new processors and stuff, so I think we should calm down and live our life peacefully. nevertheless thanks for the movie, quite interesting. ))

@Temza87 the thing is.. what happens when you disagree with the man who instructs the machine. Sometimes i stop at a red light, and there is no need to.

"Keep up with the latest" - that's exactly this expectation that you have to break.
Those who like to be in control (and that includes me), need to give up the notion of being able to deeply evalulate everything, or, even better: not even _expose yourself to the choices_ from the very beginning. Try that.

The "impermanence" Toffler wrote about 40 years ago is very much here. Some feel that technology is a runaway rocket sled that's dragging us to places too far and too fast for our own good. Virtues like patience and self-reliance are all but gone in today's children. "Future Shock" might not be the planet-ending scourge Toffler warned us about, but it's still something to consider.

A big part of the problem today in relation to what he was saying about manufactured consumer goods is affluenza, which became particularly epidemic during the yuppie 80's as well as the last dozen or so years. That combined with an accompanying disposable culture has an adverse effect on the environment. to say the least. And the thing about loss of community was very prophetic.

It is technology that has given us this great luxury to sit around and pontificate about how "stressful" our lives are today in contrast to those of 100, 200, or 300 years ago where families suffered illness and malnutrition, were illiterate and lived in deplorable conditions. If you berate the iPad or the Nintendo, you may as well be berating (among other things) clean water, hospitals, and the widespread access to education and entertainment unthinkable to those people in the past.

Notice that what drives all these problems is Consumption/Commerce - Don't fall behind keep up, BUY now! It's not change or technology, but the way it's used that causes these problems.
To move from Future Shock to Future Comfort, Google "Peter Joseph -Where are we Going" or "Awakenings part 1-4" on YT. Tech-Knowledge should be used to Improve our lives as it always has. Once we take it out of the context & control of the shallow Profit Motive, it will become mankind's best hope for the future.

What this work fails to consider is HOW technology is used. Tech is a hammer, eyeglasses, a better way of teaching. Tech is the ONLY thing that improves the lives of humans. It ALL depends on HOW it is used. In the hands of greedy corporations & governments it is usually negative. Also, it's not that "the future comes too soon" it's that human culture is too slow to adapt due to being conditioned to hold onto the past by the establishment who wants to protect the Status Quo-W/ them in control.
