House of the future - part 2

[ultimatesly]

how is it the bathroom of the future when they have it now in the video?

[skitch88]

so much better than Future Shock

[C3F6D4]

Monsanto didn't envision the PC, flat screen TV, or cell phones. However, the did get the microwave oven and the electric toothbrush right.

[izzybluegoose]

it's just FUGLY!!! geez!

[aaronpapanos]

A video-phone in the bathroom? Ewww

[cztardust]

Can you imagine the static electricity charges you could wind up in that plastic house... hahaha *ZAP* Gotcha!

[RacerFan12]

Now, on this video, part 1 & 2, compare all that to what you see today! Today is sooooo different of what you see on these videos!

[Christianpreaching]

what is it with the monsanto at 2:11?

That company is Satanic to the core

[nnudell]

but they don't have cable...

[mysterykcad]

@nnudell or internets

[funkbrother216]

They really got it wrong, where's the foreclosure notice?

[WeTotallyRuhl]

2:11 monsanto!

[ljcteehee]

For an attraction that regularly hosts 5000-10000 guests a day, it sure looks empty for these folks.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

An ELECTRIC toothbrush?! Oh my god! Is this going to happen soon, like in 1980?

[Zirious23]

@Fujiarmu I don't know why either, nowadays beautiful woods and stainless steel are all the rage. Hmm, I want to see our version of the home of tomorrow.

[dharma7400]

The bathrooms looks like a loo on an airplane!

[StoneColdProduction]

A handsfree phone? Must be witchcraft....

I like those kinds of films, but if we can see: The problem seeing the future is like forecast the weather. It could be, but it don´t must be.

Why can´t the fridge in this house order milk or butter? Where´s the Flatscreen where i can watch 24 h homeshopping channels to order "products of the future"?

Or the very important and must-have Ipod-Docking-Station?

Come on, the kids didn´t have a Wii at all...what terrible future is it?

[omfgzhax]

Why don't we have door cameras?

[dannyrg9]

they were so naive and dummy

[scheissdrek]

the versatility of plastics comes sharply to the front in the master bedroom.... hmmmmm

[Mocabean82]

For them to make a house like this with "no stretching or bending" is making me think they started the whole "lazy, obese, can't help themselves America"...just sayin...

[Mocabean82]

Did they dismantle this place or did they leave it?

[MikeFolf]

@Mocabean82 they dismantled it... largely. The structure was so sturdy that it too months to demolish instead of the presumed one day. The foundation, which couldn't be dismantled, is still in place to this day - right where Pixie Hollow is.

[mediamadman747]

Wow, looks like they really stretched their imagination to recreate a "bathroom" from the First-Class section of a '50s TWA Boeing 707.

[gr33nproject]

they forgot to mention the FEMBOTS

[uoitofsogroj]

2,12 monsanto

lol

[adrian1977ify]

Good old vintage white Pu-ssy !!! got to love it. I would love to bang her back out in he house of the future.

[BARRIEMOREBARLOW]

A plastic steak....simple but expertly prepared. How about a side of platics shavings with that steak? All made possible by Monsanto.

[Fujiarmu]

Plastic's good and all, but I don't know why they thought it could replace all other materials in every situation.

[wsbtam]

Keep in mind, this house was built in 1957, 53 years ago, and the devices we have now and take for granted (i.e. video phones AKA Skype, electric toothbrushes, microwave ovens), were all just a wild dream of what could possibly happen.

I do like the style of the house's shape, even the ideas througout...just heaven help you if the device that raise and lower shelves, sinks, etc. get stuck.

[skinnyharum]

I WANT that house!!!!

[aliahaliah]

Now you can show your friend how you shave!

[VinylReelToReel]

2:11 The house must be a genetically modified mutant !

LOL

[SmileyV07]

of course its plastic its not real stuff (at that time)

but pretty much all the elements in that house (besides that rising sink) make it the house of today(2011) there are some houses that sort of look like (google image search modern homes) but i think theyre pretty expensive

[MLeonBridges]

wait... in the future i only have to turn a dial to dim the lights?!? what will i do with my obsolete I phone with the home lighting app?

[MikeJF355]

Oops, don't drop that electric razor in the sink full of water now!

[MarkRadioTurner]

The versatility of plastics in the Master Bedroom......LOL

[PurpleTacos1252]

the two-way communication system actually made it.

[Ant29]

We have electric razors and tooth brushes, but they're wireless and run on batteries. ^^

[HarleyStcool]

after the clip the guy plowed his wife in the bed of the future

[MLeonBridges]

@HarleyStcool yeah but they probably had to use those pleasure ring things from demolition man.

[Rickyrab]

I like the adjustible sink, but the bathroom looks kinda small. Is this the House of the Future or an airplane? LOL

[allpainppd]

The bathroom of the future for taking the dump of the future

[indez23]

Just grow a beard already

[dunemoonbeam3]

it doesnt look old at all in fact interoors do have that stlye

[silbitnuoc]

Video phones suck. We have SKYPE, similar concept, but the phone idea just sucks.

[thechairman123]

:50 any message? How about piss off I'm trying to get ready for work.

[szeb1855]

those windows were ulguu

it's funny now we think of plastic as bing cheep

[JoshuaTaylor]

And in the future there will only be clean cut white people.... ;-)

[TwilightSylvestris]

Video phones in the bathroom, I'm glad that never caught on. xD Haha, the 50's were so quirky.

[peterpocasset]

All nice un-biodegradable plastic. 

[HaoWenXiang]

This vision has been implemented already--on long haul Amtrak trains and jetliners. And we all know how futuristic and luxurious those accommodations are. The house would have probably been a nightmare to remodel, or even service. You'd have to dismantle the kitchen if the power went out in a disaster!

[zackglazberghrocks]

alot of this stuff we have...

[6motion6]

I still remember this house from when I saw it in Tomorrowland. I was only 6, but I thought it was really cool and wanted to live there.

[satanismybraindonor]

why would anyone want to live in that monstrosity!

[pinealdoorway]

Thank You so much for this old Film. Imagination is not done with the world and even though the Government and the United States of Corporations have big plans for America and the world, God Has other Plans.

So Mote It be!

Pinealdoorway

[vaibanez17]

Some of this is right. We really do have electric tooth brushes and razors. I use an electric razor everytime I shave. Did they not have thermostats when this video was created? They talked about how a temperature control box was a new thing in part 1? I don't like how everything was plastic lol. Seems like that would get damaged easily.

[TreblePop]

Thanks for posting this. Enjoyed it.

[mavric17]

They should get started on those electric toothbrushes.

[SmileyV07]

@mavric17 dude theres already electric toothbrushes you just put batteries in them and press a button, ive used one a while ago

[leesathepunkin]

lol it looks like a 70's travel trailer

[Femigaytheist]

many of the ideas in this house have now come and gone. People don't like plastic as much as they used to...but plates and glasses, for instance. If you'd only ever had glass, porcelain, or clay plates, which were easily broken, wouldn't it be amazing to imagine unbreakable plates and glasses? Of course it seems silly now, but at the time this was pretty amazing,.,,albeit horrifyingly sexist..

[xanafanadu]

did people really think this is real?

[penitent2401]

that house is going to make the enviromentalists scream. both the amount pollution used in production and the energy consumptions of the house.

but then it's all recyclable, until you turn the salt water airconditioning on.

[AlaricxMalgraith]

I wonder if people back then found it as cartoonish as I find the current Tomorrowland?

[wilkes85]

Why did they tear it down? lol they should have moved it and sold it for someone to live in. Hell, I wouldn't mind living in that thing (except I'd install proper kitchen appliances lol). And considering how indestructable it apparently was, when there's a tornado you can just sit in your living room with a bucket of popcorn and watch it lol

[RigoKellerColas]

I wonder how the hard it is to put new bulbs into those ceilings.

[ricarleite]

WTF is that window with tiny dots? Where's the hi tech in it? More like house of the bulshit;

[lunariddle]

This really shows that Disney did end up being the ideas behind things used later on, even today.

[xanafanadu]

disney=the creator of all. he's powerful than kanye.

[assoftheauction]

most of the stuff in that vid is created now

[colorsofwisdom]

i bet a lot of ppl invested in plastics after seeing that.

[ccricers]

We can't have flying cars because of insurance companies :(

[SmileyV07]

@ccricers nah its our government (its too much to explain)

[goudal]

When I was a kid, they really were trying to incorporate much of that junk into every day living. And from all that, I can tell you one thing:

Vinyl makes my butt cheeks itch.

[LordRhimmer]

The bathroom reminds me of an airplane bathroom tiny sink and the shape and everything.

[the1andonlycosmo]

Thank god housing is not like that too day. jeeze imagine all off the harmfull chemicals that we would be living in! not to mention how chaep and crapy plastic looks and is, ohh and it is really uncomfortable. I would much rather live in a home that was made using natural material's then that rubbish!

[vetromaster]

your comment is hilarious:)

[HadesKHG]

u can uasally see these stuff today!

[FishyMoe]

Monsanto!?!!? evil! fucken check em out.

[rudiluu]

jajajaj el cartel final de monsanto

[recovering16]

Times change - and ideas too. Now Monsanto is being accused of being one of the most ecologically-unfriendly companies....

[XxSTICH666xX]

LMAO Video phones really took off as you can see today *sarcasm*

[SuperGamer87]

@XxSTICH666xX They have in Japan. iPhones allow video chat. And Skype video chat is rising. At least mobile and online phones are taking advantage of it. It's only a matter of time before they do so for the home (at least, they'll make it more available--I prefer not to have people see me in my underwear while I'm talking with them. LOL)

[mysterykcad]

@XxSTICH666xX Yeah, I can't begin to imagine what life would be like if I could have a video call from my smartphone...oh wait.

[macrent2]

The bathroom in the home of the future looks like an airplane bathroom!

[hfu1973]

Why did they think that everything plastic was so fucking marvellous?

Plastic is nasty and cheap - I mean who has plastic chairs in their bedroom?!

[StrosB4Hos]

my buddy rented his first apt and had lawn chairs in the living room..

[spoiledbrat1440001]

No mention of Tupperware! The shame of that!

[Effedup]

Plastics, Fuck Yeah!

Didn't they know back in those days what a fire hazard plastic was, or that it practically never biodegraded? Or did they just not care?

I did like the drop down upper cabinets in the kitchen, that was pretty slick...and the way the dishwasher loads is pretty cool, too. The fridge and microwave though, yeah no thanks LOL

[lrd9999]

It was probably hard to imagine something that looks so modern being a fire hazard. Actually, unlike polystyrene, vinyl and melamine are fairly fire retardant. Even so, I'll bet a house full of that stuff would burn with an awful (and deadly) stench. Of course, most new low end houses are full of (and covered with) more of it than most '50s houses ever had.

[SposaDLuca]

The only problem with the drop down shelves and pop up microwave, is that they're a waste of space. Why not just put shelves there and have twice as much space, and if there's not the space for shelves there why not just leave them in cabinets?

[schizophrenic123]

The versatility of plastics come sharply to the front in the master bedroom.

Not a bad prediction.

[TheBlueRose2008]

@schizophrenic123

LMFAO!! Yup!

[gamereviewdestroyer]

This shit so fucked up as shit because some future fucks did the exact same design of the house. If it's the last frontier, someone's running out of ideas!!!!!

[MrNicespaces]

Walt wrote exclusively in quatrains.

[insanepro28]

Who would've thunk that hippies would demonize plastic?

[tanfoculta]

0:05

Actually an interesting idea.

[Gmancrap]

Where can I find some 50's background music? I need it.

[Nairb1997]

Its in my kitchen

[Nairb1997]

In their bathroom

[Nairb1997]

Lol at my home in brasil i have the same phone in the bathroom but better

[tippisdad]

When I was a kid in the early paleozoic I thought this place was funny. I pointed out the "video phone" in the bathroom to my folks and was told that it was futuristic. I replied it had nothing to do with the future; who'd want to see someone talking while they're in the bathroom. It was free, though...

[netjunkie9]

That bathroom makes airline bathrooms seem downright luxurious.

[Druidbw]

This looks like a real bad IKEA nightmare!

[xanafanadu]

@Druidbw more like ikea gone wild!!

[Teflon65]

The future isn't what it used to be. I remember when the old Bell System was going to put out video phones, back in the early seventies, and few people wanted them. Microwave ovens, and speaker phones are pretty common now, though. I used to have some plastic cups made by a company called Melmac. Incedentally, that was also the name of the TV character, Alf's home planet.

[Tuckerx78]

lol panelesent panels

[SirRoxo]

This house actually seems like a good idea but...all those vinyls and melamine plastics; it's just asking for cancer or something.

I would'nt even want to think how fast that home would go up if a fire broke out with all those artificial materials. How long you think? 3, 4, 5 minutes?

[Prestwickuk]

Fiver says it burns to the grown/into a molten ball of red hot plastic in 120 seconds..

[schwixol]

holy crap! look at 2:11 monsanto! this future is more accurate than i thought. scary.

[Bondianwolf]

Something that is not well known, when they tried to demolish it 10 years later the wrecking ball bounced off of it. It was supposed to take 1 day and instead required hacksaws and took 2 weeks. Say what you want, but that house was indestructible - people in earthquake, tsunami or tornado zones would luv it!

[jasongunnz]

i cant wait till someone invents a square clock! 1:22 the future is gonna be crazy!

[jackmarshak]

It's not that we don't have the technology to do it, the house in the video is based on 1960s tech so we are well beyond those capabilities. I think the big reason we don't have all the stuff they mention is because we don't want it crapping up our homes in it's gaudy glory. Like a Star Trek redneck in a trailer park.

[bparker65]

when did they think this would be done? cause 2009 we dont have any of that, exept the phone.....we have something like that.

[DJCUK77]

And if you happen to live in China, you can drink melamine in your milk, and become melamine yourself, or why don't you have plastic surgery or breast enlargements. And when the carcinogenic surroundings have finally killed you, you can have a plastic coffin, (already stored up in a field near you)

[InsideTheUnknown]

that house would be perfect with a HAL 9000 robot lol

[Hotshotter3000]

But Dave, they can't let you do that...

[MalkavianMadness]

Lol nice moie..kinda looks like a fairytale.. to bad an electrical fire in the build-inn shaver burned down the house and killed all the residents in a flood of hot molten plastic. And caused nearby residents to evacuate because of the toxic fumes. *I doubt they thought about fire hazards when they came up with that house*

[ilovemayo123]

now if everything is made of plastic, its called kmart and its cheap. lol

[Mwahohoho]

I like the adjustable lavatory.

[lasvegasjh]

I wish I could have seen this in person but I was born 20 years to late.

[mard420]

they have it at disneyworld still, but like when i went, it was the 80s version of tomorrow land, even more scary; we are all suppose to wear white space suits and such

[Mwahohoho]

Out of all the predictions, the 80's-style future is the funniest

For the sake of mankind!

[JUKIO01]

this is actually kind of scary to watch

[deeannesmith]

MONSTER SANTO!!! Pitching the glorified trailerhome. Leading the mass consumer blindly into their future. The disposible family.

[marshalauth]

I don't know about any one else but I like my fabric and wood and stone surfaces.

[DonKarnage1]

light roof, i never see that!

the window idea is bad, you can't see well with the stuff on it, can they be open?

the touch tone phone was introduce in the 70's and today we don't have a hand free phone, be we have wireless phone and cell phone.

how many idea of the future where really made today?

[artxbeat]

"..and today we don't have a hand free phone.."

Of course we do. It's called a speaker phone. So many phones come with speaker phone capability either on the hand set or the base. I have one in my kitchen that I bought 8 years ago. Even some cell phones can be used hands free, and hands-free systems are installed in many newer vehicles today.

Tons of ideas have been developed, such as paper-thin plastic LCD mini-TVs and hover cars. It's really quite cool, isn't it? =)

[looneywoman]

Sorry, didn't see this response when I made my Bluetooth comment...

[looneywoman]

Actually, isn't Bluetooth something of a hand-free phone device?

They got the electric toothbrush part right, anyway...

[outatime8]

hell modern day heat wuld melt that house man even the chemicals in it can be harmfull

[Bondianwolf]

"modern day heat" ?????????? LMAO, yeah in the 1950's the temp never got above 75 degrees. Reading these replies is a giant reminder that our public schools have failed miserably.

[mostlyBS]

"a lavatory that adjust to height" lol

[rbairos1]

Well, I have a hunch a two-way closed circuit television camera in the bathroom wouldn't be much of a selling feature today.

[zevno]

To answer a question, the HOTF was to be a house of 1986. Let's face it, they got the microwave right, and lots-o-things made out of plastic, plastic, plastic. I love the house and it would be fine to live in today. I wish they could have designed is so it could have been moved, instead of destroyed.

[Shippingshit]

What year were they predicting?

Funny.

Lets wait for these shelves to lower down slowly to grab a soda.

And those bathrooms look like the ones they have in airplanes...

[matrixey22]

I'm still waiting for that tv phone...

[tphilp74]

Yes dear... someday you will have this... Now lets get you back to reality and give me a blumpkin while rubbing my feet.... wench!!!

[renofirvine]

well,my complemonts to all you commenters-very witty and thought-out--i have a postcard of this place from aprx.1964-i can tell by the handles on the genl.electric refrigerator-there's also a g.e.built-in oven-wonder if they still had the 'ultrasonic dishwasher' at that point-and classictvguru70-it opened in 1957

[garysam49]

my father designed the house of the future, feel free to leave me a message.

[classictvguru70]

when was the house built?

[windee53]

1957

[windee53]

I sent you a messaage, hope you got it!

I was the little girl in the video.

[ilovemayo123]

you were the house of the future girl? Do you remember doing it?

[windee53]

Hi,

Yes, I am the person and was the little girl. It is a memory that I will never forget!

I was very lucky to be part of something so specail. I was a actress until I was 21 years old, now I am in my 60's and think about how fast time goes bye. Never thought I would be an old woman!

Thank you for contacting me,

Sincerely,

Windee

[BoogsterSU]

Too bad it's an exhibit not a real property. <:-( I hope your house is greener than this!!!

[windee53]

Hi BoogsterSU,

It is too bad that it was an exhibit that was torn down many years ago. The new exhibit is not even close to being as wonderful as the orginial home, which is a shame.

I do live in house that is real and green.

Sincerely,

Windee

[MewBuruberi]

@windee53

[salemcripple]

You were the girl in this vid? That is awesome! I always thought that modern houses could take something (at least style) from these houses.

[zevno]

This house was amazing. It was closer to the future than predictions of flying cars.

My big question is: Was the concept of a house with a plastic shell structurally and economically viable for domestic architecture? In other words, could a house have been made out of this material that would have been cheaper, better, and longer lasting than wood frame houses?

Since it was the most popular attraction at Disneyland, why didn't they build another, before the one they have planned in 2008.

[youngactor2005]

We have a guy who had a flying car ;)

[gerrykickstand]

The future? Shouldn't they all be obese?

[sowhathomiec]

lol!

[windee53]

people moved, they didn't sit all day.

[mstcrow5429]

Aaah, the plastic is everywhere! It's watching me! It feels so smooth and dead! It wants to kill me! Noooooooooo!

[merginoch]

We must have all this stuff in our homes!!!!!Oh wait we do.

[ericsatidiitedu]

"Practical yet comfortable, serviceable yet beautiful"

Sounds like the perfect date.

[kleinbottler]

But they have an analog alarm clock.

[XXCoder]

Funny that they keep on smiling all time. :P

They aren't normal. ;)

IMHO, if plastics weren't from oil, that would have caused a revolution due to much stronger and cheaper building style.

[thefoole]

I like her looking through that window, thinking, "Oh, if only I could live in the medieval castle instead..."

[mstcrow5429]

She's probably worrying if the new Queen of Darkness is going to use eminent domain to level her house for a new shopping mall.

[HunterMann]

What a great look at the future home. Makes me want to see Woody Allen's "Sleeper" again!

[ruzz3ii]

And don't forget these two wonderful properties of plastic:

1) It is made from oil, the same substance that made the people running America filthy rich.

2) It makes a lovely garnish for your baby Albatross carcass.

[SHAUNERDANIEL]

We dont have the labatory like that yet...
