- A whimsical yet serious-minded look into the future sponsored by the appliance and radio manufacturer. In the "1999 House of Tomorrow," each family member's activities are enabled by a central computer and revolve around products remarkably similar to those made by the sponsor. Power comes from a self-contained fuel cell, which supports environmental controls, an automatic cooking system, and a computer-assisted "education room." Features Wink Martindale!

I hope the person who envisioned this got to live to see 1999.
Karen (Marj Dusay) told her son at the beach that she was 44. I was thinking to myself she looks pretty young for 44. She was actually 31 at the time. She was also the actress in Star Trek that stole Spock's brain. I remember Wink Martindale as a game show host later on. What a crazy little film clip.
Yeah, that was weird. Maybe they figured everyone would look younger in the future, so they exaggerated the point a bit.
Brain and brain!!!! What is brain??!?
@@racoats1The idea was, that people would have kids later in life, and that adults would look much younger even at 44 years of age. This is not incorrect, so long as people avoid smoking, vaping, alcohol, and other substances. Plus, clean air.
I was shocked she said she was only 44, I would have guessed more like 50, and dang …she was in reality, 31?! Hole shite 😂
Actually, she said she will be 44 next year (2000) which means she is 43 in 1999. Later in the film, the narrator mentions that she is currently 43. Still I agree that she looked younger than being in her 40s.

Although not shown in this video, the idea of a portable, personal computer like a tablet was seriously envisioned in the 60s and 70s in places like the PARC research lab and by people like Alan Kay. The technology didn’t exist to realize it at the time, however it provided the motivation to develop intermediate technologies like personal computers and touchscreens.
People in 1999 didn't even see smartphones coming.
I mean they had star trek, they were imagining teleportation n sheet
I bet that kid was really disappointed when he got to 1999 in his late 30’s, and realized that life in 1969 was much closer to 1999 than anything in this video was.
ok Boomer
I was!
One thing I'm impressed with is that their version of 1999 already had flat screen monitors which didn't become common until at least 2005.
Actually Philips sold its first plasma (flat) TV to the public in 1997. You could have picked one up for the mere price of $15,000 US. The fact they become commonplace by 2005 is extraordinary. This film was not far off the mark in that respect.
@@60gregma $15,000 wouldn't be common. Most people couldn't afford one. Not sure if you're old enough to live through that. I was able to buy an LCD laptop back in 1997 for $2200. I bought my first LCD monitor for $700 in 2003. I bought my large screen LCDTV in 2009 for $1300. By 2009 plasma TV was already obsolete.
I also thought same about the big screen
I was thinking the same thing! Usually older depictions of the future still had people still using big bulky CRT monitors.
Wow, six years. Big whoops there.
Back there, people were obsessed with the future
Now, people are obsessed with the past
Because the past is so much better
Very very true. Optimism of the future was a defining American trait. Ironically, never more so than during the forty year period we feared nuclear obliteration at the hands of the Russians. Now it’s very hard to think of a future in which life gets better and better. Almost unthinkable now.
@@mykiemilford720 now optimism of the future is just a sci-fi trope that doesn't work anymore

I was born less than a year before this came out and in 1999 I was working on the Y2K project; something in '67 they didn't anticipate could be a problem in 30+ years. Nice to see they understood how much we would use computers; even if they could not anticipate the Internet or that we didn't need centers, one computer could serve many purposes and in general we'd all have one that could fit in our pockets.
Also nice to see them "get right" the 8 year old being taught by his home computer... alone and depressed.
So you wasted all that time dealing with Y2K? The apocalypse that never was? I was disappointed. I love chaos.
@@GulsCult That was the beginning of the end of this age for humanity, mark my words and get ready for something huge in 2026.
@@GulsCult A common misunderstanding that we programmers wasted time on Y2K. The reason bad **** did not happen is BECAUSE we spent time fixing Y2K code. Maybe someone needs to make a movie about what would have happened if no one had fixed Y2K issues...be a bit like when that George guy was never born, and the town turned really bad.
It's now 2023 how I miss them olden days and those futuristic movies from 1999 A.D.

It's really cute that they thought we'd be on the metric system by 1999
Sadpants McGee In Australia, New Zealand and Canada they were.
What's funny is if they had put us all to the metric system NASA could have saved a lot of money. One of their biggest blunders and cost Millions when engineer did the calcs in the metric system and the other one did it in our system. That can get people killed. Look it up online
The American people were given an inch, so of course they took the mile

I found it interesting that things were so futuristic, yet the concept of (what we now call) traditional roles in the marriage were sill upheld. mom being the cook. dad being the breadwinner. etc. Sure mom had a career before she had kids. Lucky she gets to still make pottery, though!
Also find it interesting that they were ok with disposable everything. dinner ware, clothes, etc. Not even talk of recyclable.
Everyone is like OOOooo. they predicted the microwave. yeah. big whoop. I want the one they have in this video. The one that automatically obtains food from the supermarket, portions and preps it for you. You only touch the final product.
Also, the clothes cleaning closet. i want that too!
"Predicted" the microwave is funny, because in 1967 the microwave had already been invented years before. And think of a future where you only cook microwaved food. Do you really want to live in that future? Many foods have awful taste and texture after they've been nuked. The cheeseburger Dad craved so much is one of them.
This is pretty much my house where my wife "cooks" all meals from "Factor" which are microwaved in ... 2 minutes (as predicted by this video). They all arrive at the house automatically and are debited from my (the husband's) account. The plates are all disposable. I had to LOL at that. She also shops on Amazon virtually every day like the lady buy clothes online.
@@valedictorianismwhen home microwaves were new the industry heavily promoted how you could use them to cook anything. It took at least a decade or two for people to realize that was BS!

It’s amazing that they were very accurate about “What” computers would be doing for us, but they didn’t predict “how” we would use them… the UI was all knobs, dials, and buttons. Nobody thought about touch screens, or voice control…
Perhaps not in this film, but in decades of science fiction, voice control was the main interface with computers... Touch screen interfaces with light guns was implemented for mainframes in the 60's, and with fingers and pens on CRT's in the 70's....
60 years later we are longing for the 60s.

we sure are lacking knowledge as a society. charging the expensive amounts of money for college tuition definitely took the incentive out of it and made it more of a risk vs. reward dilemma which makes many anxious and apprehensive about making what should not have to even be a large decision, TO EDUCATE YOURSELF.

And yet we are still forced to socialize for 18 years of our lives.

They have been shilling this lie about "technology" since day one. It's the same BS they spread in TV shows like Star Trek. "We don't need money and nobody has to work...." As you said... My A$$. That starship sure took a hell of a lot of ore and other things to build. Where did that come from? Did people go mine it for "fun". (because mining is a fun pastime) That's when they say, "The machines will mine it, and do everything." Oh... then who builds and services all the machines for fun? That's when they tell us "Machines will build other machines." OK... so what happens when the machines... which are now the only ones actually living... decide we're not work keeping? It can only lead to enslavement or annihilation... certainly not enrichment.

I've always admired the soothing narrating tone of Alexander Scourby in old educational or documentary type videos like these from the 1960's. He also narrates another favorite of mine, titled 'Dr. Leakey and the Dawn of Man'.
I find it eerily astonishing on how accurate many of these futuristic predictions really were from 32 years prior (released in 1967)...and to be realistic about it, we're now 23 years past 1999 already. Even the physical props are incredibly similar to see computer monitors, keyboards, printers, musical organ with a monitor, HVAC system, microwave ovens, disposable dishes, switchable window shades, etc... They obviously were on the right track and could see where the future was headed to some degree, regarding technology and automation. This is actually astonishing, considering they had no clue about the internet, but could predict things like "fingertip shopping", computer to calculate things like a dinner menu, calorie intake and food recommendations, inputting/recalling information from computer "memory banks" that are available instantly, computer home schooling, computer gaming, home post office, computer bank statements/car payment balance/taxes, home surveillance, home camera to camera intercom system, data monitoring and emergency backup centers, body scanning, AI which relays personal statistics back to to you via audio, computer planning and regional weather conditions, big screen tv's/projectors for entertaining parties, etc... These are absolutely phenomenal predictions! I have not yet seen the home vaporized cleaning closets, nor the home automated dish dispensers yet, but give it time. Lol.
Sadly, these predictions and futuristic lifestyles were overly sensationalized at the time of this film. It's one of those things where you have to be careful for what you wish for. The grass isn't always greener on the other side and I believe our modern existence is more miserable than anything these days with how technology controls us, monitors our every move, documents our flaws, uses those human flaws against us, enslaves us and shapes us as a society and species negatively more than anything.
What's funny is how, with all of this futuristic advancement and in the manner that the video portrays this sort of glorious, healthy and upbeat way of living, the kid actually "flunked" his home schooling test. It's also funny to see how they thought that with all of the computerized help and automation, it would relieve us of a lot of home duties, only to allow for much more idle free time to, say, craft pottery. That's the farthest thing from the truth, as the computers and automation have just stressed our lives beyond belief and have utilized almost all of our free time...much of it in pure nonsense with never-ending IT issues, a million sites to register on/log in/log out, scams, fraud, online addictions. With all of our modern computers and automated advancements, you'd think that things would almost be flawless, but it's nearly the exact opposite. There are constant things which are always being screwed up these days to no end! The use of computers and their conveniences and luxuries have actually constricted our lives and freedoms more than anything and have proven to do more harm than good. Less is more in life.

Funny how society back then had a very optimistic and imaginative view of the future, while nowadays we portray the future as almost exclusively dystopian.
It's kinda like Back to the Future II. We're currently skewed into a tangential reality where so many of our ideals are founded in lunacy and fiercely defended by lunatics. If we extrapolate what the future looks like from this current, deranged reality we find ourselves trapped in a dystopian never-never land. The only way to fix it is to take the DeLorean back to 1955 and make sure Biff doesn't get his hands on that God damned sports almanac.
We portray the future as dystopian? Have you been in a coma for the past decade?
Views about the future typically reflect views of the present day they're dreamed in.
Phillip K Dick knew...
That's because we've made so much progress in so little time, there really isn't much more left to do. The problem is that we paid for these advances dearly with labour market erosion, astronomical inflation, society degradation and everything else which inevitably follows industrial capitalism.
I was a kid when I saw this in the 60’s on TV. I had caught it right at the beginning so I saw the boy and his mother on the beach and when I saw her draw in the sand that the year was 1999. I got so, so depressed.

I remember watching this film in Junior High School, over 30 years ago. It’s amazing how everything in the film is coming to past. When I look at what’s happening in the world with home/virtual schooling, it’s the way of the future…prepare for take off. I’ve been looking for this movie for years.
Wink Martindale!!! Fun to see him again. love the video, so much did come to pass.
"In the past we thought that ignorance was the result of a lack of information, the Internet has shown us that is not the case"
Data doesn't equal information
The Internet is the solution to ignorance. The issue is that, more so than that, it is a much greater distraction.
UGH!
Ignorance makes people happy. More you know, more you need to do to solve/make it better. Knowledge injects responsibility/common sense/critical thinking. It makes many people extremely uncomfortable. As soon as they start to learn , They cannot keep their old values/ social norms. suddenly doing what everybody does becomes wrong. Maybe his/her entire family follows one ideology and that ideology becomes flawed not ideal For progression. It makes you an outcast. Suddenly you can’t follow everything like a ship. Can’t agree to everyone on everything. In many cases You have to argue with your elders/family members. Knowledge does not guarantee a happy life. It just guarantees that a better self…
info doesn't equal reality
The future ain't gonna be so bright if its led by kids who don't know what year it is and forget what music they're playing.
I remember seeing this in elementary school around 1974 or 75. I've never forgot it. Now I live in the "future." It's interesting to see they didn't think so much about touch screens back then. Everything needs a button or a knob.
Knob - hehehe
One thing they actually got right: Bobby Fisher, the chess player, lived until 2008. Meaning that they correctly predicted he would be alive in 1999
They did get some things right like Internet shopping, and banking.
Also, a baby monitor, video conferencing and the rise of the home computer.
But these things just started to be more common in the 00s. They weren‘t common or fast for everyone in 1999.
An underlying assumption was intelligent regulation of the information presented to them. They always only get limited information which is just right.
One of our problems today is that everything is available which makes it extremely difficult to sort and assess the quality of information.
flat screens too, and the fax machine
@@vondahe while you see that as a weakness I see that as a strength, you want the government to dictate to you what to believe?? Please brah, get out of here lol
I love retro futurism. It's always fascinating to see what people back then thought the future would be like.
Well, they sure got the many parts of today's middle-class lifestyle right. Multiple screen setups on the desktop, tons of consumer devices no one really needs, preparing food the "old-fashioned way."
Apparently they thought we all would like sitting in Denny's booths.
@@arischbacho middle class? What's that?
I once heard an advertising executive say: "Advertising is the business of creating needs.", and that's exactly what Social Propaganda films like this one are intended to do. They whet consumer appetites for things that consumers presently don't know that they even need. Capitalism fools consumers into believing that it's doing them a big favor by delivering all these new hi-tech goodies that make life easier and more fun. But reality is that Capitalism Does Not Give A Damn about consumers, and futuristic films like this one are solely intended to prime the consumer side of the economic cycle with WHATEVER new product that Capitalism thinks that it can sucker consumers into buying. Noam Chomsky calls it "Manufacturing Consent".
By my memory, microwave ovens came out around 1970, PC's came out around 1980, and cell phones came out around 1990. NOWHERE can you show me a public opinion poll, a news article or ANY Other evidence that consumers at the time were demanding better technology before these new hi-tech gadgets were first marketed. NOWHERE !!! Through manipulative and deceptive advertising, Capitalism created the "need" for these products when they first marketed them. NO One in the public even knew that they "needed" them before they were first marketed. And futuristic Social Propaganda films like this one, strategically produced decades earlier, makes it even easier to sucker consumers to buy new gadgets that they don't even really need.
Please forgive my cynicism but it is rooted in a 30 year career as a consumer debt collector, a bill collector. Every day for 30 years, I had to help all those poor suckers pick up the pieces of their lives because they DID believe all those futuristic films, those glossy commercials, and those ever smiling salesmen and bought and bought and bought all those new futuristic gadgets that they could have lived without, and which eventually caused them financial and social ruin. And and all those poor "suckers" were honest, hard working people who naively believed what that saw on TV and the movie theater. ... jkulik919@gmail.com
@@JosephKulik2016 Well of course we could still live today like native Indians lived 400 y ago . All we really need is protection from the elements, and food and water and that's it ! Given that , a healthy individual can live up to 60 -70 years . There is no need for medical advances because what for ? If one is healthy than will live , if not than its unfortunate. Of course I'm being sarcastic, but where do you draw the line that its enough, we now have everything we need? At one point ppl used animals to get around , than we invented automobiles. Should we have drawn the line there ? How about travel around the world ? Used to be it was only possible for a handful of people. Now we have airplanes , and everyone can travel anywhere. Should we drawned the line there? We certainly didn't need computers to survive , but now society would collapse without them and think! its only the beginning! In another century will be able to clone organs for ourselves. if the original will fail ! Imagine your son have a problematic heart or kidney , no problem he'll receive one, that is identical to his own in a month. We dont need that eather? You can't stop society from advancing . And this is how society is advancing by innovation! Those ppl who went bankrupt can thank to themselves! Why purchase a big ass SUV on credit, if all one can afford is a small Kia sedan ? You still can live like back in the days . All you got to do is to move in with the Amish ppl 😃! But even that is cheating , because they to use technology. If one wants 100 % natural, have to go back at least 40 thousand years to the time of the Neanderthal ppl ! But even that is cheating, 'cos they to used stone technology & fire ! Ever since we begun walking on our hinde legs, and our hands freed up ,the innovations has begun buddy . That was about 6 million years ago ! As long as there is Man on this planet , it will never stop. Someone will always come along who is going to say we can do this better . Sorry about my broken English
FYI: "1967, Philco-Ford Corporation marked its 75th anniversary by producing this film titled 1999 A.D. Philco was a pioneer in battery, radio, and television production. In 1961, the company was purchased by Ford and, from 1966, renamed "Philco-Ford". Ford sold the company to GTE in 1974, and it was purchased by Philips in 1981. In North America, the Philco brand is owned by Philips."
Wow! Ok so I like watching these old films, some of which remind me of things I saw in school. This one however, was a bit chilling 😱 Thank you for posting this one. Really appreciated it!
food delivered to the house and classroom learning from home with no social interaction? They knew about the virus man, Im getting my tin foil
So tired of the stinking virus.😣
He actually attends a school a couple days a week if you listen.
👁👄👁
They were about 20 years early though man
@SpinksJinx Fuck you.
I kept waiting for Charleton Heston to ride up and start screaming "You Maniacs!!!"
Damn you all to hell !!!!!!!!
I know! I swear that's the same beach where the Statue of Liberty head stood. Hey, don't waste a good set.
@@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo It was.
Instead of Planet of the Apes, we have Planet of the Dummy Trumpturds
@@mcnudde Same beach in California. : )
Some of these thoughts are beyond today, i love it
A whole room for the computer but still, only one bathroom.
How quickly do you think the "home health center" would turn into a "large storage area"?
I wonder if there are special "shoving all my crap in there until I can be bothered to sort it out (never)" hexagonal modules
it takes about one month for "treadmill" to turn into "place to hang pants until i wear them again"
Considering how uncomfortable he looked in there, I'd give it 2 weeks.
😂😂😂

This movie got like 70-80% of it's predictions right even if they weren't aesthetically identical.
Yeah and they are correct that a 44year old will look like a 30 year old
11:05 hmmm...
Media Content What year was this film made?
Tots n Jam Thanks. Much of this film in amazingly insightful. Forseeing the internet and home PCs.
Did you even watch it? They got almost nothing right.
Surprised the dinner party cast was so diverse.
funny how in 1999 everything was a lot more advanced than the design imagined here, and yet most of it never come even closer to the technology they expected.
“3 wrong answers, you flunk !”

There weren’t as many fragile crybabies as there are now-a-days.

The food she served looks like that crap people get shipped to their houses in 2019. Very realistic.
lol, my mother loves that food delivery crap. She was born in 1940, this kind of future was her dream, not mine. I'd rather sweat in the garden, and grow my food.
trwsandford gardens? This is the 21st century, only the rich have gardens
She made lunchmates. XD
I'm 77 & was 23 in 1969 ( when this film was made) & am very disappointed at how little (except communications )
has changed up to 2024, let alone 1999!
1967
It's fascinating to think that people in those days would consider this kind of future impressive and we think this kind of future is premitive.
They also forgot about the dozens of calls weekly to your smartphone (aka handheld super computer)asking about your car warranty.
Facts
I keep getting "Thank you for using Marriott Hotels"
I get calls about my car I bought new in 2000. Warranty ran out when Bush 43 was president!
LOL
They astonishingly well anticipated how lazy people would be
Cirkmann Zirkel they made us this way. They were the inventors
I was watching this like, nah yall underestimated modern laziness, we don't get up to make things happen we yell at our Alexa to do it.
Alana Proulx Yeah they “made” you. Just like how fast food “made” people be fat. People make choices to what they do. I can sell you a deadly drug that’s extremely dangerous. If you buy it, take it, and you die. That’s all on you. Be smart, not stupid.
They were not less lazy in the 60ies tbh
It’s an easy prediction, because people of every age have generally been as lazy as they’ve been allowed to.
The “Puerto Rican” singer singing pure gibberish ☠️🤣
They overstated how quickly people would rely on like a FaceTime style interaction almost by a decade. It wasn't until nearly a decade after 1999 that this was any kind of normal thing.
For some reason the opening of this reminds me of Planet of the Apes. (1968 A.D.)
Same beach as the movie
Similar eerie
sci fi music
I was thinking the same thing, no broken statue of liberty
it is a famous part of i believe Malibu beach.. A fun factoid.. on the other side of the cliff is a designated nude beach in Los Angeles County.
I just thought the same thing, go to write that and you did already lol :)
And then the Y2K bug devastated the family’s computers the next year and the Matrix had to be rebuilt from scratch.
But the Backstreet Boys are still able to do that dance video in space.
Good one Dave.
And then Skynet became self-aware and the T-1000 Terminators were EVERYWHERE
And the year after that Y2J changed wrestling history by beating both "the great one" The Rock and "the Texas rattlesnake" Stone Cold Steve Austin to became the first ever WWF Undisputed Champion.
Then the Robot Sophia was unable to be shut off as she outsmarted the humans and her memory in the cloud controlled all other robots hence creating WW3
1967 Date of Film Release. Wow, Vilmos Zsigmond was the cinematographer on this- director of photography (as Willie Zsigmond)
Wink Martindale is mentioned at IMDB which described the film as: A whimsical yet serious-minded look into the future sponsored by the appliance and radio manufacturer. In the "1999 House of Tomorrow", each family member's activities are enabled by a central computer and revolve around products remarkably similar to those made by the sponsor. Power comes from a self-contained fuel cell, which supports environmental controls, an automatic cooking system, and a computer-assisted "education room".
The music playing as she writes the year in sand makes me think this was going to be a horror movie.
They got the day wrong for June 2, 1999. They said it was Tuesday, but it was actually a Wednesday.
This was made in 1967. I like that they use flat screen monitors.
Thanks for pointing out the year this was made. I was looking for that 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
But they probably never expected the Japanese and Korean companies to make these. Emmett Brown's reaction to a lot of the electronics being made in Japan in 'Back to the Future' is pretty much what the reactions would've been if they heard that about the flat screens.
I read from some book made in the 70s how life will be like in 2000. They predicted no cars and flat tv´s the size of a wall. I was wondering about the weird hate-bone the maker had for cars and my older brother explained that leftwing people in our country were against private car-ownership and dreamed of vast public transport system. Lol, Finland is the worst for that still if you don´t live in Helsinki.
In 4:3 AR. We don't use it anymore. 16:9!!!
@@swee2251 The Japanese failed at flat panel LCDs. They bet on plasma and lost. Today's flat panels are made mostly by South Korea, Taiwan, and now China. This mirrors CRT tubes which by the 1990s were predominantly Korea and Taiwan.
No mention of when this film was made, and the link is broken, so hopefully this can be pinned...
This came out in 1967.
Thank you very much. I was looking for this information :)
I was wondering as well, thanks!
Thanks, but the woman's looks scream "Sixties" anyway! :)
such basic information left out. ty
Which explains why they didn't anticipate that the daughter would bring over a black rapper boyfriend in her rebellious phase, the son would be a genderqueer shutin that just plays video games all day, and the parents adult hippies living on welfare out of their double-wide trailer.
‘’ how does the computer know everything?” I’m scared already.
The car is really a large SCALE MODEL car called the "Ford Seattle-Ite XXI", a Concept Car, from1962. Trick photography makes it like full-sized car.
I bet there's a massive job market for IT technicians in 1999.
All those bulbs and buttons to replace.....
All the knobs and switches
CaveMonster Not to mention all those vacuum tubes.....
The home keyboard seems to have only X's and Y's. Remember when we started typing in chromosome language in 1999?
Is that a joke perhaps?Never heard of typing in a so-called"Chromosome Language",my friend?In biology,the human Sex chromosomes are X,and Y.Two XX make a female,while a XY makes a male.
XX YXXX X XXXXXXXX XXX
(OH YEAH I REMEMBER THAT
In their version they just write with a pen on screen
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😊
I wonder what Wink Martindale would say about this video now, hopefully there's a footage or a podcast/radio of him looking back at this and having his commentary
Wink just turned 99 on the 4th of Dec.!
Mars will learn to fear Wink Martindale’s botany skills 😂😂😂
