watch it: “House of the Future, 1957”


It never ceases to astonish me how not one single vision of the future from the past anticipated social changes. Technology would be different, but nothing else would. Mom would still be dedicating herself to the kitchen (with Daughter in training for housewifery).

Yes, this kitchen almost gets dinner itself, oh but that wouldn’t really be fun.

Yes. Yes, it would be freakin’ awesome if the kitchen could make dinner by itself.

It makes you wonder what blinders we have on today that we don’t even realize we’re wearing.

share and enjoy
