Oldiesmann Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Found this on YouTube earlier It's amazing how much of the "future" never came about! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 A complete climate control apparatus? An oven without fire? Plastic silverware? Wireless, in-ear telephone? Closed-circuit television phones? I'd say it's equally astounding how much of the future did come to be!EDIT: Now what DIDN'T come to pass, unfortunately, is a house with that view of Sleeping Beauty Castle! I'll keep dreaming, though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 watching that, its so interesting, could Disney or someone build the new house of the future today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 If the actual EPCOT came to be, it would have had a constant evolving neighborhood of the future. Companies would update each house with the latest innovations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I can only speak for the Innoventions Dream House at Disneyland, but it is very up-to-date with the newest technologies from Microsoft. Actually, that's precisely the problem. Instead of being imaginative about the future, the house displays products that are cutting-edge, but available for purchase today - tables with touch-screen tops, X-Box Kinect, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I don't really mind Innoventions all that much. Shocker, I know. It could certainly be better (I remember playing in Test The Limits Lab as a kid! Time for an update!), but at least they didn't ruin it.

jdawg1998 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'm laughing at the speaker phone part ... it's amazing how much farther we've gone than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 My favorite parts were the emphasis of plastic and the ultrasonic dishwasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
