1960s futuristic homes and kitchens, retro futurism part1

[Lonsoleil]

Haha!

Why did everything have to come out of the wall? That's friggin' stupid!

[Onegurrrlrev]

Thanks. I am doing a 1960s short film and wanted to know where i could find 1960s commercials and accurate portrayal of 1960s modern homes.

[dsavix4]

Anyone recognize the music?

[hagirl62]

[kadaj2172]

Mid Century Modern style is sooo kool.....aaahw

[sexiidude225]

if this was in 1970, imagine what 2011 could have been like

[KasBeatsProductions]

Why was this not implemented? These things look like they should be in every American home by now. I mean, I know some of them are ridiculous...a dishwasher in a dining table ;-) but still, pretty cool and foward thinking concepts!

[Mantikal]

Where's Woody Allen's "Orgasmatron" from the movie Sleeper?

[daeman7]

Wait! I want to see what happens in the dishwasher!

[usernamewhaa]

funny imagin 50 years from now lookin back at what our thought of the future homes are

[SeattleRexx]

We have gone beyond what was shown, including the sexist idea of "women's work" by the 70's..back then, it was all "style" and no "function"...at least we learned to combine the two by the 90's!

[ritter89]

So many little girls wondering about what goes on inside a dishwasher......

[Morr1992]

It really depresses me seeing how good things were heading in 60/70's.. People were really looking forward to the future, as if it was inspiration for many.. Today we have no style, no uniqe thought.. But we got more dirt, scum and shit on the streets. I can't really express those feelings I have to retrofuturism even though I never really experienced it due to my young age.

[kamikaz330]

i think people were psychologically more advanced then than we are now the only thing we got better is the technology nowadays and i'm not even sure if that's a good thing..

[0marianlibrarian]

The table is the console of the TARDIS! Also, I've been watching these "house of the future" clips all night, and every one of them has those drink dispensers. It's like everyone in the fifties wanted the drink and ice cream bar from the Golden Corral in their kitchen.

[eedobee]

Watching this video, it is amazing to see how much society and technology has decayed since.

[hbwith3boys]

Really?? what kids still want to help clean the house no matter how advansed it is??!! lol

[flancorp]

Hey dont forget that in the future that bitch still better be in the kitchen

[Hotshotter3000]

"You can easily prepare a meal all by yourself" Yeah, they're called microwave meals, but trust me, it's not what you call fine eating.

[boffinme80]

How could they have predicted what the future would be like? They didn't have the technology. I like kitchens how they are now. I'm fed up with all this stupid new technology like plasma tvs. I bet they didn't predict that. Mind, people in the 50s had no idea what technology would be like. They were optimistic and looking forward to having new updates unlike now. We're terrified of the future.

[ComicBookChick1]

Its a jetson's house Ha!

[MAHDLO1956]

That is a very small fridge

[izelkay]

hahaha the end is just rediculous

[Flaschmadasch]

Awww god haha I love retrofuturism. Back then, people were really looking forward to the future and weren't afraid of it like now.

[Avellania]

Considering we have the year 2011 we are a little bit behind schedule;)

[icedanilzation]

@Avellania Not really, we have the technology to do all of this and a lot better, but we don't because in fact the ideas they had for the future back then are stupid.

[sincityfire]

This was supposed to be the 70's?

[gocountry1391]

@sincityfire nope

[allanyamaha]

hahahahahahahhaah
