1960s futuristic homes and kitchens, retro futurism part 3 

Who's watching this in 2021 and can't wait for this future to finally become reality.

Holy shit, even the future used to be better!

I wish that America was still this optimistic! Amazing ((:

I forgot so much about the 80s😂😂

wow, all that and half hour space flights from Tokyo too, but we're still WAXING floors?

Buenos Aires Argentina was really a cosmopolitan city back in the 60s.

Baby monitor, microwave ovens, and prepackaged frozen food came in the 1970s. Some of these are on today's horizon. Lest we forget this is a time of slide rules, trig and log tables, lp records, and library cards. Televisions were black and white, had 3 channels, ran from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm, and began and ended with station identification and the Star Spangler Banner. Shopping was downtown, and a Sears catalog was was a often go to shopping source, especially Christmas. There were repair workers, and shops. Air conditioning was uncommon to rare. Grocery shopping included S & H Green Stamps, push button cash register, and automatic coin change machine. Calculators had cranks, ledgers were pen and paper, printing was typing and the memograph machine. A telephone call across state lines cost $1.00 per minute. For comparison gas was around $0.30 per gallon. Meat came wrapped in taped wax paper with grape stain print.

It's hilarious to look back on what futurist saw for the 1980s to 2000. Majority got it wrong on what the home would be like

Now 1985 seems like the stone age!

1984 and still wearing a dress. Where are her pants darn it! But they got it right in this one, solar homes, indoor gardens, high tech fridge, robovac that vaccums and mops and is 2022 I watched this. When it was posted in 2010 still was mostly a dream.

Er...Our technology is amazing! LOL so much has been done since the 50's/60's. They had to read the newspaper or wait until designated times to get the news and we can access it anywhere via phones, tv or internet. They relied on home phones or phoneboxes to connect with people and we can call or text anyone in the world at anytime. Their music were on massive 9 inch plastic records but we have access to thousands of songs via an invisible mp3. To people in the 50's this really is like space age

I can't wait till 1985

@Shonenut213 Some of these we do. We can have our own power to our houses (solar panels), centralized vacuums do exist (my uncle has one, you connect a hose to ports scattered around the house next to the electrical plugs), filter water (those Brita pitchers, etc.), indoor hoods for growing plants are available though not common, you COULD install CCTV and intercoms in your house: it's just a matter of cost. And some things we don't have now cause other more convenient things take their place :)

Closest thing to reality was the baby monitor.

Wow. 1985 homes were like that? I didn't realize they had all that old looking, weird stuff like that.

i love these 50's-60's future ideas, they had vision back then.. kinda sad really as all our technical achievements today is full of shitty restricted iphones and flat screen tv's. pretty sad the only reason we dont have anti gravity cars and free energy is because they cant physically put a meter on and control it

I sure do miss those half hour space flights from Tokyo. Air travel went downhill since the 80's

If we told these people about Siri, they'd fall over.

Did this video air in America? Because I found the frame rate to be 25 fps, the frame rate of PAL, the television system in the UK, Europe, and Australia; whereas the television system here in America is NTSC, whose frame rate is 30 (or 29.97) fps.

Well 1985 has come in gone.And none of this has happened..33 yrs later 2018.. Nothing!. Prices are sky high.And everything is built like crap..Nothings sturdy!, but the prices are astronomical!

The future ain't what it used to be.

1:33 Buenos Aires :-)

@imshadi i hear you

We have alot of that stuff just different and were not like the jetsons

i find it depressing commercial airliners still don't go that fast.....wish they did.

1985?! More like 2025!

If only they had guessed how tasteless and lacking of glamour it would end up being.

2020

The tectrawl process, also know as global warming.

Well they meant well

Why am I still cooking every night...

Almost all these retrofuturism videos are so off!! I mean our kitchens are still the same. Designs may be different but all in all its almost all the same as before....

Phyllis George, such a hottie.

They were certainly optimistic of what would happen in only 21 years

I'm sorry, but did he just say 1985?

well forgot all this and warred on each other :D

Is the lady Helen O'Connell ?

Mum, what do you think of this?

1985.

Well, at least their (scientists) understanding of it anyhow.

I was 13 in 1970. didn't get any of this new tech. still waiting. what a rip off.

yeah.... 1985? HAHA more like 2085 sweetheart. I believe she would be over a 100 not 22 when all that stuff is standard in a kitchen....

'85 is low tech

Back then they assumed we had unlimited resources and china, Japan would never overtake the US

if i took an iphone back it would blow there fucking minds

Yeah because after I get back from my space flight from london all I want is my wife to get me a damn beer

People had overly optimistic and impractical ideas about what future living would be like

crap time stamp in middle of picture.

Yep but they didnt realize Madonna was gonna show up and coke was gonna be injested like vitamins...cest la vie

So remember plants need carbon dioxide

1985 was big bangs, coke and Madonna grinding on the floor singing like a virgin so this was a #fail

Well all this stuff just seems 'cool' but in reality would be way to expensive to install and way to impractical as well. All of the stuff mentioned in the video could have been done in 1985, but people just chose not to.

premade reheated food is disgusting

fail

1985 😂😂😂😂

Now we have Trump and Southwest airlines, nearly made it

Haha, so you'll still have a 60's stereotypical hairstyle and be a slave to cooking in your kitchen in 1985? It's funny that s been more than twice as long as this predicts but yet the basics of a kitchen haven't changed that much, lol.
