That's a great video to watch, it was made the year I was born. It has that High Era spirit of belief in progress, and an assumption that there would always be institutional support to make it possible for the architects of modernity to realize their Big Visions. I loved the commentator insisting that the cost of utilities would force the vast majority of the population into urban hives. Instead, we've spread out. Everyone has their own vision. No one wants to live in house full of plastic furniture. But some of the tech they predict did indeed come to pass, some more advanced (computers, telecommunications) than they imagined, and others less so (robots, 3d printing).
