| office buildings and department stores--just press the button
| to go to your floor. Amazing!

| Awesome blast from the past. I wonder if this was ever featured

| those were much more science and much less pop. Just two dudes
| sitting and discussing new and future technology and its
| implications.
|
| Damn, I miss "Sonda" so much and this clip took me right down
| that memory lane.
|
| Here's the amazingly great intro music clip from the start of
| that show

| World"), which would run for an hour or so on a Sunday night
| and show snippets from western tv shows. The contrast to the
| (usually) very bleak communist Polish TV, was striking. For me,
| back then, watching both of these shows felt like looking
| through a window into a different world.

| Yep, fixed

| Sonda definitely had little oversight and no screenwriting, but

| Polish-Socialist Politechnika Engineer sort of way. Definitely
| a breath of fresh air, even today. Makes one wonder if this was
