    The "Miracle Kitchen" looks like a nightmare of moving parts to break, wear out, malfunction, leak, etc. and need constant expensive repairs

    The RCA / Whirlpool automated house of the future reminds me of the creepy Ray Bradbury short story, “There Will Come Soft Rains”, which is about an automated home that continues operating after a nuclear war.

    Great stuff here P&P. Once again showing humanity longing for a future where they could escape from their mundane present. While showing a savant telling us the unforseen (at that time), the consequences of doing just that.

    The first segment reminds me of those Tex Avery futuristic cartoons like Home of the Future for one. As a kid from the 50's, imagine my disappointment of what we thought would happen compared to what has.

    Disney’s animatronics have come a long way since the World of Tomorrow guide lady! 13:44 There was a strange tick in her movement and the pre-recorded audio didn’t quite look like it matched her mouth movement, but I guess at the time they thought she looked realistic enough 😋

    Marshall McLuhan's definition of "cool" is explained.
    We now call it "sick."
    Being and staying cool is cool.

    That's sick.

    "In the future everything will be at the touch of a button"
    The future: You need an app to use a toaster. But that's not all! You need a different app for everything in your life! Each app has a convenient login and password too! It's not just a dishwasher. Some features of your miracle dishwasher can only be used through the app. . Isn't that easy! Your car is a computer too! Complete with an extra monthly fee, in addition to your high car payment and insurance.
