These two youtube clips are from the 1939-40 World's Fair. It's the 70th anniversary this year.

Some things actually came to fruition, some technologies have been advanced in certain areas. Some things... well... haven't changed as much or at all since then. I'll give these guys an "A" for imagination.


Psssst fellow geeks... I'm making a personal plea here... HELP ME STAY HERE and out of the political forums, PLEASE!laugh

Oy vey... It would help tremendously if I could spell the word "future" (as mistyped in the header) oh well... I suppose they had typo's in 1939 too. A 30 minute "way back spell-checking machine" would have been helpful!
