As the title suggests I really enjoy viewing but have a hard time sourcing old vintage but serious documentaries, news programs and films that discuss technology and future predictions that now seem crazy and outdated.
Some examples:
1980s mars manned mission
How home video phones would dominate households by the 80s
Home/Kitchen computers with punch cards that are the size of a dishwasher!
Space tourism becoming a normal pastime for a typical family by 2000
How automated machines could replace auto workers on the assembly line
A 1960s view of what the integrated circuit could do to create a “Jetsons” like world
Anyone have any recommendations of old programs that cover this genre?
And in 1962 or thereabouts, AT&T told us about the coming Information Age, at the Seattle World’s Fair (“Century 21 Calling”, and this is the original, not the MST3Kified version).
I am finding that sources for such material is very hard to find. I spent 3 months trying to find Walter Cronkite’s 21st Century CBS program from the 60s but have had zero luck.
