re: a view of 1999 from 1967
It got some things sort of ok: Cable tv, MRIs, PCs (thanks to Bill Gates), but that's about it.
The thing about that film is that it worked with the basic needs, it didn't figure in the way culture would react over the years as such things evolved. Here we are with video games, worrying about property taxes, terrorism, environment, replacement fuels, helping the hungry and abused, etc.
If only our kids were glued to their pc's studying about Newton and company.
