@jy4m There were a bunch of these produced at the time, but the closest title that comes to mind is "Year 1999 AD". I can't be sure if that's what this specific clip is from though

@cypnk Similar: BBC Panorama: California 2000 (1966)https://vimeo.com/170324749That's the view from 54 years ago of 20 years ago.@jy4m

@cypnk @jy4m That contains one of my favourite cautions of infotech monopolies:Well, he who has access to information controls the game. This is very dangerous. I think both your country and mine have never trusted the government completely. We do so for good reason. Here we have a mechanism that could be abused. Here we have a mechanism that would allow the creation of a dictator. . .I've yet to see an expression by anyone in Congress about this new type of danger. In fact, we see proposals for centralizing information, we see proposals for rushing ahead into new, more efficient computer information systems, and very little thought is being given to the dangers of the misuse of these systems. . . I ask a lot of people about privacy, why they valued it, and I was surprised by the number of people who said "Well, I don't do anything wrong. Why should I worry about privacy?" And then, on the other hand, I think there's a more wise group that says, 'Privacy is really the right to be wrong, then go on and live the rest of your life, without having it mark you forever.' I tend to think this latter view is the view we should hold.-- Paul Baran, creator of packet-switched networks, 1966https://vimeo.com/170324749(At 30m50s min the clip.)@pluralistic Ping #PaulBaran #surveillance #monopoly #SurveillanceState #SurveillanceCapitalism

@cypnk The voice-over at the end sounds like Casey Kasem.But man, they predicted dual screens, online shopping, multi-user apps in a video call, etc. With what looks like a C64. 😆

@CarlCravens They got it pretty close. The voice does sound like Casey, but I don't think it's him. He did do some narration, but Scooby-Doo came out in '69 so a couple of years after this

@cypnk an electric credit card? I'd think by the year 1999 we'd have overcome the need for money.

@slink I don't know the original source, unfortunately, but a video on YouTube was linked in an earlier reply that might be part of a collection:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGWZpKYYc_Y

@cypnk for 1999 that was already optimistic but I'd consider this to be apt for 2019 and onwards....

@cypnk I read the thread and how is no one talking about how accurate but inaccurate this all is...Most of the time, these things are all flying cars and living on the moon... 😆
