Future Shock (1972) 1/5

Back


This is a little known documentary based on the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler.

See review here:


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.

Oh my Geeawwd...I'll bet in the future you won't be able to walk through an airport smoking a cigar. Gotta love Orson.

It's funny how while watching this video, you can see all the changes in technology and clothing that has changed since this video was made in 1972.

Orson forgot to say: EBAY SUCKS! PayPal sucks even MORE! I gotta go have a piece of genetically engineered fruit now. If you need me just have the govenment track my cell phone.
