  • This is the most amusing thing I've seen on my "console" all day!

  • kinda but its on one screen and looks better but i gotta say close

  • copyright music in the background

  • SO MANY BUTTONS!

  • People do have survellience cameras in their homes. It's downright freaky how close to the truth this was - 45 years ago.

  • Cool look ..heath kit made a great anodized front plate amp of quality for the hobbiest ,Tubes baby ..solid state when Dansk ruled the look for modern even today the look of BO offers good sound... and awesome looks.G5 tower hhmm.

  • It's funny, some areas they overestimate the future (surveillance cameras in the house) and in other areas they underestimate it (home post office instead of email.)

  • @Mrpastry909 My surveillance cameras are outside the house. But linked to the PC exactly as shown in the video. Freaky shit!!

  • If you notice there is no outside world, that is because they are imprisoned.

    The 'central bank' has total control over all of their personal information.

    The husband and wife are never in the same room because reproduction is controlled.

    Outside is considered a 'critical area' that requires surveillance at the battle station (shopping console).

    The children are not raised by the parents.

  • Love how it's technologically advanced yet sociologically backwards. :p

  • haaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahhhaha­hahahahahahahahahah

  • 0:38 Not so subtle sexism

  • I like the aesthetics of that era. You get the impression of quality and functionality. Today we are just bombarded with ads for stupid gagdets, apps, softwares, malwares, you name it.

  • We are way ahead of that shit, :)

  • Better than windoes vista

  • Basically.

  • The father is NOT happy with mama's spending habits.

  • They got it pretty correct. Amazing.

  • I shall call it amazon :)

  • "there, a camera will scan a display of wares, which she will select by push button". lol. It's close, but they make it sound like this robot scans the table top and show her the items. Then she pushes a button.... I wonder if they mail her the item or it comes down a tube.. lol.

  • These kids and their crazy computer thingamajigs

  • I think that this whole computer thing is just a passing fad..

  • I've got a 1967 book which tries to predict the year 2000 in politics, warfare, economics etc Its written by two leading think tank members - gets a lot of things correct but practically ignores the possibility of personal computers - let alone their uses - as their main thing seems to be the widespread development of lasers.

  • that document is the receipt they the store see it on their screen they see that he signed itcompleting the transaction.using a stilis on a touch pad.back then everything was about push button immediacy one button and go figuring he would use a typewriter for anything he had to type out.not a keyboard.

  • Not bad, but the hardware reminds me a bit of Star Trek. :-)

  • the commuincation with others in the world is an online chat/video chat

  • They left out all the good stuff like music, movies, games, ect.; and lets not forget YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, their vision was limited but i guess for that time it was amazing.

  • The hardware is totally off, but the USES of that hardware - online shopping, remote realtime video monitoring, online bill paying, online banking, online tax filing, E-MAIL. That is creepy how they got that part right, but then, people were predicting similar activities via telegraph and telephone lines in the middle of the 19th century, often with some type of video viewer. I guess the true visionaries realized just how mundane and materialistic humans are.

  • @ryoushii is it hell out ,theyve predicted flat screen monitors nearly..

  • now how about this, it is all on one screen!

  • looks like they predicted TFT screens as well hahahaha

  • visions of the future stuffs and inventions from the late 60s people.

  • The music from movies before 1980 scares me.

  • i love the mans look when he saw the bills..he was like what on earth that bitch bought again :P

  • In 2050, we'll have (I predict) - Space elevators on Earth, the Moon, Mars, and other moons and asteroids - Self replicating robots that colonize each of these bodies - Mining operations on other planets that bring back materials to Earth - Human space transport will be common - As robots perform more tasks on Earth, manual labor becomes virtually non-existent - Pop singers will have even less talent, and computer translation of their voices will allow them to become worldwide legends

  • Actually that was pretty accurate, so they didn't use words like online. We buy things, bank and do taxes and budgets online now.

  • Love everyone making fun of this video that had nothing to do with the creation of anything useful today. Shut up, you would probably spend your whole life trying to figure out how to wipe your ass if things were left up to you.

  • so from this video i must be flying my car next week and go to mars next year what happeded seemed like war is all we care about

  • @MidiMurderer sounds like voodoo to me lol

  • omg i can't beleve this, its so......unreal

  • They forgot to show the part where the husband gets caught jerking off to porn at 3 in the morning

  • @jsunac1 Too funny!!!!

  • @jsunac1 LOL at 8:30 in the morning. So true!

  • Even in 1967 they thought there would be all these revolutionary changes in how people used computers.

    But some things remain the same.... the wife blowing all your money on a new pair of shoes is timeless.

  • Wow this guy has a triple LCD screen setup in 1967!

  • i like how we can do all of this now...

  • 0:09 hot chick

  • Where the hell is the mouse?

  • That actor looks like Wink Martindale! Wow, they nailed it. It's kinda creepy.

  • Women be shoppin'!

  • I can do all of those things on my handy dandy iPhone

  • wow, nice big displays for 1967!

  • LOL like women could actually operate this machinery ... hahaha

  • 0:02 - ebay , or any other internet shopping/ordering websites

    0:25 - CCTV

    0:40 - internet banking

    1:04 - laser printer

    1:25 - email, with a graphics tablet (for some reason)

  • @Filo127 The graphics tablet was there because, in 1967, the idea that there might ever be a guy who could type was just too far out there to be believed.

  • @deeslop that is an amazing thought!

  • Well this prediction was close. We have QVC and internet shopping today.

  • Lol... Not even close.

  • Everything was 30 percent wrong

  • Everything was 30 percent wrong

  • What this ad didn't predict from 1967 was that woman and men will by 95 percent work or own a business. iPhone of today is not in large numbers now because of the bad economy. Computers didn't become in large numbers untill the beginning of the late 1990's because the economy didn't grown fast enough.

  • @v19d What people watch in this video is the fact there would be big box stores and that people have to buy at checkout.

  • What "the wife selects will be paid for by the husband..." lol

  • The 41 years of progress spanning 1970 to 2011 do not come close to the 41 years of progress spanning 1929 to 1970.

    Not even close.

    Think of what occurred between 1929 and 1970. Research it if you have no clue.

    Then compare what happened from 1970 to 2011.

    The latter period pales in comparison.

    What impeded our progress during the latter period? Political pandering to degenerates and losers. It can prove costly, buying votes from the dregs of society.

  • The Obama Afroid Tablet: A piece of slate activated by a charcoal stick. This will be used by NASA in the near future if Obama gets reelected.

  • Watch 2001: A Space Odyssey. The astronauts on the Discovery use iPads. Or maybe they're Android tablets. This is in 1968, and it's a more successful prediction than most.

  • @FuckngBastard

    I think they're Android tablets, due them looking like HAL 9000 anyways. One thing I notice that they predicted by 1999 was the widespread use of flat-panel displays, except they didn't hit market saturation until about a decade later.

  • @FuckngBastard

    Go away, you retarded tea bagger racist

  • The first desktop computer flatscreen I saw was 1998.

  • Come to think of it, all laptops use flat screens, and laptops have been around since the Eighties.

  • @FuckngBastard Unless degenerates and n___ers run large corporations, banks, car companies and the like who are deemed to big to fail, then you have no idea what you are talking about. Obama has shelled out a heck of a lot of money to the white male at the top of the chain! More than probably either of us would like to think... The small amount given to those who are less fortunate pales in comparison.

  • @fish363 Butthurt alert.

  • @FuckngBastard

    You're the degenerate.

  • This is nice! Our predictions of today will definitely come out differently in the future.

  • Is it badass that I have deadmou5 playing while watching this vid?

  • Great predictions

  • EXCELLENT video, most precise one i have seen from 1967 to describe 1999 yet! Too many monitors though, & the flat screen did not come until after 2000. Still, the description of how the wife buys & hubby pays is right on!!! Almost paranormal!

  • @cme98 Flat screens existed prior to 2000. I was using one at work, as part of a palm-top PC, in 1994.

  • wow clould computing

    

  • "what the wife picks out...the husband will pay for" This sounds like the 1950s, not 1967!

  • @tml4873 you must of have neve been married..

  • i predict that in the year 2045 humans will evolve and learn to fly....without assistance.

  • thats a nice eyefinity setup

  • They got one thing right... my wife buys tons of crap and I pay for it...

  • @Todd82TA Holy crap, I can't believe I wrote that. That's hilarious. My wife isn't all bad, she just made me a drink. I'm like 10 sheets to the wind or something right now.

  • Respect - for prediction of flat screen :)

  • They were pretty close but when we came to that stage in time we didn't use those buttons and dials.

  • my question always is:if they can envision all this,why can't they DO IT.

  • @tomloft2000

    huh? Futurologists and science fiction writers can envisage all sorts of things we can't do now

  • Wow......Pretty accurate!

  • uhhh its not happening right now...

  • The basic predictions all came true. Impressive!

    Let's predict what the future looks like in 2067, post the video and let our grandchildren decide how far off our predictions were.

  • @Hobbitstomper It's nearly impossible to predict the future in 2067 from the year 2011. Too many changes we could never imagine will happen by then. We can't accurately predict anything much farther than 2030

  • @Hobbitstomper You assume, of course, that the world as we know it will still be around in 2067.

  • Comment removed

  • This is great. Very visionary for 1967

  • F that I'm pulling the plug!

  • lol. Wow all that tech, and she still had to get her husband to okay her purchases.

  • @PunkZeusRock Yeah her purchases HIS money...some things never change.

  • @PunkZeusRock

    As she should! ;-)

  • This film is called 1999AD...just in case people wanted to look it up...

  • @203207ab Yes, the guy is actually in another related youtube video talking about this video!

  • are any of these people still alive and what do they think?

  • its the guy from the gameshows

  • Hey, look. It's Star Trek props.

  • the flat screen monitor prediction is rather accurate! though, the matrix style configuration is a bit much...one monitor for every application lol

  • @avedic

    I noticed that too, but conceptually, this is what Windows and Multitasking essentially is. How prophetic. It didn't miss the mark, it just visualized it differently.

  • I want that Desktop he was using! "them new fangle computors will never catch on"!

  • Pretty darned accurate, in function if not appearance.  Although nobody I know of has that many screens except Al Gore, Ashton Kutcher, NASA Mission Control, and NORAD.

  • The future looks sweet, can't wait!

  • amazon circa '67

  • Very accurate

  • Give them a break guys, this is from 1967, the golden days when a man was outside earning the dough and the women was at home taking caring of the kids.

    A woman actually having a paying job is something completely new.

  • Why does everyone freak out when people actually follow traditional gender roles?

  • Hey, flatscreen montiors in 1967!!! Everything thier doing in this film I do on my Treo Pro with one hand!

  • Who'd of thought that in the future women would be treated like people!

  • Pah! This will never happen!

  • Come to think of it,everything that is video is displaying on the so-called future are actually doing that right now online.

  • Actually what that lady is doing in the first video,people are doing that right now online.

  • isn't the father WINK MARTINDALE?

  • he looooks pissed

  • 0:45 - 1:03 "whats the bitc buying now!?"

  • wow!!!! so acurate, thats amazing about the electronic bills and transactions

  • wow accurate

  • an old ipad prototype lol

  • Is it me, or does the narrator sound like HAL?

  • And 1967 the micro-computer was still far from invented ? And it seems like they did not predict keyboards.

  • 0:39 Look at how disappointingly he looks at what she's bought :D

  • Nothing about Porn which built the internet in the beginning.

  • At :46 the guy shakes his head thinking "Goddamn Nigerians, they PROMISED me that they would deposit the money in my account!"

  • @kev3d That is very funny :-)). Only if they could have imagined that shit when they made this video, hahahahaha.

  • @kev3d haha GOOOD AFTERNOOON MADAM!

  • Internet is mainly for porn and scamming. They forgot to predict that.

  • @HyperGolem Agreed.

    

  • @MiHiVidz lmao... and luke skywalker clothes

  • Looks like he's ready to start smackin' a bitch.

  • What ever the wife buys on her console, will be paid for by the husband at his counterpart console.

    FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • no. the wife orders KY JELLY

  • That would never happen. A box where you could buy stuff online... O wait thats ebay

  • Lots of changes since then, 1 thing is the same tho, husband shaking his head at what his wife has bought and he gets the bill !!

  • close.....

    

  • and the music they chose to this clip..

  • lololo

  • close, but no cigar

  • lol the husband seeing the bill is hilarious

  • Hey look! It’s Wink Martindale!

    That was some pretty impressive predicting there. Interesting how they couldn’t see how this would all be “computerized” but knew (somehow) these conveniences would happen anyway.

  • wow 1999 was not like this

  • @TheAlexagius

    It really was, though. They hit the nail on the head conceptually, they just had an Archaic means of visualizing it. We were doing this in 1999. No doubt about it.

  • @TheAlexagius Hate to tell you, but 1999 was very much like this. I was using a spreadsheet to keep up with bills, paying a few bills online and doing more. Of course the flat screens weren't available in '99, but even if the hardware is a little off, you could do everything that this video predicted. Some of this you could do in '93. It wasn't until the PC became more common that more ppl experienced it.

  • What, no porn?

  • damn they were wrong... they would have never predicted windows

  • @thecooldude9999

    They did predict 'Windows' what do you think all those multiple screens are for? They are separate tasks running on the same box, Multitasking. They just had an Archaic way of visualizing it.

  • Wow eh?

  • What computer shopping department do you order "candies for cuties"?

  • Amazing how right these predictions were, even if they didn't have a name for the internet or web yet...

  • This stuff kinda existed back then. Just not as complex. Touch pads were around almost as long as mice.

  • the accuracy of this is ridiculous 

  • 0:47

    At this point, Husband looks madly concern at the increase shopping and credit card bills that Wife is piling up. After deduction of his pay check last year and the increase needs that his family puts on him (Son wanting another Xbox 471 for his friend Billy, and Wife wanting more security cameras installed in their home), Husband does to do a quick Google search for a divorce lawyer and possible a Hitman to fix the problem.

  • *Just looked at the last part of my comment*

    God Damn It Dyslexia!

  • Good but really bulky

  • Poor husband.

  • 0:05 it's called amazon

  • this is really a good prediction at this time andmainframes were huge bulky items

  • Amazing how the monitors look more like flat panels than most "future predictions" from the 80's using CRTs.

    It's like how "2001: a Space Odyssey" looks more realistic than most 70s and 80s futuristic flicks.

    Haha She even has Eyefinity on 3 monitors!

  • @pedazodeboludo Haha She even has Eyefinity on 3 monitors! <<< lol ATi was also devolving 3D Vision =]

  • the internet  she using

  • Instead of giving us the three-day work week as promised technology gave us unemployment.

  • "Instant written communication"?! lol, they never imagined that people would learn how to type?
