This is a little known documentary based on the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler.
This movie came out in 1972 and features Orson Welles as the narrator. I was most amused by the high amount of paranoia in regards to the future... some of the segments (like people choosing their own skin color) are downright hilarious. Worth a look - at the very least for its historical value.
As far as I can tell, this documentary is in the public domain.

This documentary was made at the end of the last progressive period in American society. This whiplash could have been the catalyst for the great thirty years of darkness to follow. Look at what little has been accomplished beyond the predictions of this documentary! I guess "Future Shock" accomplished it's objective, "shut it down!"
Nothing is permanent anymore. So what else is new, this documentary sounds like it´s written by an Victorian Grandpa who´s afraid of change and obviously does not want to embrace change and going with the flow and fuzzy logic and the deterministic nonperiodic flow af chaos. Probably want the old time religion that preaches solic petrified truth, which is of course a lie.
For those interested, the electronic music soundtrack was composed by Gil Melle, who also did the electronic music soundtrack for The Andromeda Strain.
