I liked the next one too, when 1967 predicts 2000, with their own quirky version of online shopping and banking, and email that gets printed out...surprisingly close.
I also looked at other videos after this one. One of them was a 1936 propaganda cartoon decrying Roosevelt's programs that lifted America out of the depression. It sounded very much like present day war cries of conservatives - and for probably verymuch the same reasons. This film gives the blessing to capitalism, but fails to show the resultant evils of it. I strongly suggest that everyone watch this fashion film, then while you are in that program, check out some of the others in that area.

I like that the chief concern of women in 2000 is still being able to go from morning through to evening without significantly changing her outfit, like Barbie.
