My daughter used to request this video when she'd stay over on weekends. She stayed glued to the screen.

If it's the house of the future how come everyone looks like they're extras from "Leave It To Beaver?" I like Arts and Crafts better myself. Yeah! more quarter sawn oak and less plastic.

Looks like a glorified trailer. When people find out about what the vegetables from Monsanto are doing to them, they'll be up in arms! Literally!

Some of the gadgets in there were quite advanced and cool for 1957.

I can't wait for my solid plastic airplane washroom. Oh, and a wife in a dress who dreams of a future of housework.

I remember walking through this house when I was I kid and wondering what all the fuss was about. BORING! Let's go ride on the Matterhorn.

The Dymaxion House is pretty neat, too. It's on display at the Henry Ford museum and you can walk through it.

Flying cars have existed for a while now. They are just starting to mass market them. I'd guess in 5-10 years we'd start to see them popping up.

Crazy times ahead.

I'm almost afraid to wonder how much the insurance will cost for a flying car!

Well just think less about cars colliding with cars and more about cars colliding with houses.
