Future Shock (1972) 1/5

This is a little known documentary based on the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler. See review here: http://oddculture.com/2004/11/... This movie came out in 1972 and features Orson Welles as the narrator. I was most amused by the high amount of paranoia in regards to the future... some of the segments (like people choosing their own skin color) are downright hilarious. Worth a look - at the very least for its historical value. As far as I can tell, this documentary is in the public domain. Part 1 of 5

Really talk about dated...yikes...the music?Yikes!Thank God docudramas have come a long way.There is some shred of truth in it & I think they shredded it for all time.Don't you think if we are going to plug in for pleasure we'll want more than an AC adapter?I do.:)

I also remember being made to watch this film when I was in school.Discussion of the singularity has made me search for it.For the longest time no one knew what I was talking about and I thought I dreamed it.Thanks for giving me my sanity back.And in the words of Mr. Solo:"Where did you dig up that old fossil?" (see next post...ugh!)

I vividly remember being shown this documentary in school 36 years ago when I was 12. For some reason watching recent events makes me remember some of the things I saw in it. Robot bank tellers (ATM's?!) and gay weddings. Makes one wonder... anyway, where can I find the rest of the film?

Grab a completely false and senseless idea, make it a movie and get a respectable narrator to legitimate it... This the 70's version of An Inconvenient Truth...

Actually, I suspect we'll be in a Wal*Mart world.
