Amen.

Ya, and when the ending music came on, you were filled with a sense of dread because you knew that was one of the last relaxing moments you would have, because SCHOOL was the next day.

@@hehmtube yeah, I remember the same thing. This was before Disney lost their minds...

After watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins.

@Liberty Tree That is awesome!!

Hear we are 6 almost 70 years later...gotta rebuild some "stuff" LOL!

If you fit in as for a visionary might be a little scary there's been some others that were visionary and it never seems to work out when it comes down to it he had some very disheartening beliefs make no mistake about it not someone that should be put on a pedestal

Ha Ha Ha! You're sure right! I do have a friend that builds freeways, roads & bridges. You CAN'T speed up how long it takes to cure concrete though. That's a lot of the hold up on why it takes sooooo long. You could hurry it up, but, like the (recent) condo in Florida...???!!!!!

no disrespect but if you were the right color..

This is back in the day when American wasn't so "multi-cultural", i.e., WHITE people built things and came up with innovations. I say that if we'd not gone down the "rough road" of liberal politics, we might indeed have flying cars as envisioned in the "Jetsons" and the "Back to the Future" film franchise. It's been almost five years since supposedly Doc Brown prevents a family tragedy in Hill Valley, CA, bringing 17 y.o. Marty and Jennifer from 1985 (they do get a glimpse that perhaps their respective futures won't be all they'd hoped for), and I'm still wondering where I can get my "Hover Conversion". I keep Googling "Goldie Wilson III" and no hep there.

@@selfdo ???

@@selfdo - You need to keep googling Walt Disney's name (not the Disney company but Walt's actual name and his vision of the future).😀

I can say that about any of the classic Disney episodes on my channel, or on other people's channels. Walt's programming did, and still does have a way of doing that, while being entertaining and informative at the same time.

cjs83172 Here ! Here !

Ward?? You mean Walt.

@@johnfranklin5277 - I think that Matt was referring to Ward Kimball, one of Disney's "Nine Old Men" animators, and a Disney Legend. He was also an Imagineer.

Any day now.

@ZV oh it's much worse than that. Go watch 2001 and realize all of that could've been reality if extremists in the environmental movement didn't hold all the power in western 1st world nations. Remember the Concorde? Welcome to going backwards on our journey into the new dark age

Or a Future home!

if you had anything bigger than 17" u had lots of friends as well

@ yeah I saw the Moon Landing on like a 14" B/W with roll in it. Never will forget it.

‘member seeing McHale’s Navy & The Monkees at a kid friend’s home. In Living Color. It was spectacular! Talk about a little kid getting high. Those colors did it.

@@robertvillarreal4525 If I remember correctly my first color programs was 'The Invaders .. A Quinn Martin Production", then Lost in space, the Flintstones, Stingray and of course all the soap operas my mom watched during the day.

My uncle was the first in the family to have a color TV in 1962. Sunday nights the whole family watched TV while the men were in the basement shooting pool and drinking beer.

And this reply is my old future!😆

And that's scary, in a way, since 1975 was still some 17 years away when this was made.

what killed the 100M was the Fuel Crisis of the 1970s & the future of highways at the end of this show

While some of the car concepts seen were absurd, it is amazing how much they were able to foresee, even in 1958. Granted, some of that, especially the roads, were already put into place, either as already existing roads or through the planning of the Interstate Highway System (which believe it or not, wasn't officially competed until a few years ago when I-95 was completed), but it was somewhat remarkable how much they actually got right, especially when it came to how badly our roads would be clogged with traffic.

Really we are lost without him.

@@epcotman32 - our current overlord is the inventor of the internet: Al Gore. Author of 74 books (really, look it up), all of them anti-progress, anti-science, anti-car and Anti-America.

Yup! I thought that was pretty funny too!

Unfortunately those times have changed. As has the world itself.

TranceMood2043 building of more highways isn't future. Normal public transport system is future.

Would you like the long answer or the short? Either way, you're in for a disappointment.

Tom Swift Jr. invented his "Atomic Earth Blaster" tunnel boring machine in 1954 according to the copyright date on the book!

beloog99 - We also got radar-based adaptive cruise control!

+Schuyler Johnson Was there any smoke or fumes as a by product or were those incinerated, too?? That's interesting!

Sounds like the death star

+Marlene Ansley hahahaha Yes! To see all that cars togheter , huge, nicest cars, very loooong, all chrome bumpers, big tails, elegant, full bicolors, (super American sizes cars) ooffff, I would like to live in that time, ending 1950's ... what a charm epoque, houses bungallows, neiborhoods

Don't want to burst any bubbles, but like any other time, it was a mix. Just for the cars, I'll take some of the style of the time, but I'll take the safety of today. No one looked to the future the way Disney did, and for those of us caught up in it, how bland today looks by comparison. One thing I miss from those times is that you could pretty much still fix most things yourself.

crist67mustang - I live in the most iconic 1950s suburb of all, Levittown, Pennsylvania. It is a wonder of mid-century modern design. It is almost Walt's idea of his concept for EPCOT. In fact, Levittown has a Walt Disney Elementary School!

I just rode a section of PA 611 (formerly US 611) that was last repaved in 1940! Yes, it was done in concrete, not asphalt.

As well as the official films from the 1975 and 1976 Indianapolis 500s. He also voiced Aquaman in the 1967 Filmation series.

Sped up video.

One of my favorites is "Nation On Wheels" at 3:08. It actually works great heard through the car stereo on a crowded, fast-moving freeway at 70-75 mph! You can find the soundtrack version on KZfaq without narration.

And some of those old bridges still in use include those on I-5 going from Downtown L.A. to the L.A/Orange County line that are just now being replaced with the reconstruction of that part of I-5.

remember, the real world is all about money and we are all going to die in a wasteland on this rock. there is no great big beautiful tomorrow.

*"remember, the real world is all about money and we are all going to die in a wasteland on this rock. there is no great big beautiful tomorrow."* ... he said on his global information network in which he could learn literally anything, and in which he could talk to literally anybody on the planet with, at virtually no cost.. Do you have any concept of what it was like to live in 1700, even as a KING? Much less a peasant? This is the great big beautiful tomorrow, and it's a pity you don't recognize it for the wonder that it is.

Gamers. What do you expect?

Yeah I have to give it to fuzzywzhe The Gamer Dragon. Remember, there is a lot humans can do. Even with the confines of corporate and institutional greed. We just need to *keep moving forward.* Plus, you sound like the bad guy from the _Tomorrowland (2015)_ movie.

For example, In what way? I feel like we're doing everything wrong so we may be in an agreement? But I'm crazy I believe we we live in a petri dish hence the ice age I believe the pyramids were fake to give us the illusion that we were here longer than we were and the same with apes they were planted. As newborns we were raised under cloak and abandoned because the Creator knew that we loved and didn't want us to fill abandoned. Ect ect

"Liberals" are aggressive, and/but MANIPULATIVE bee-otches. Glad to be unhappy, as a lyricist wrote, but demanding---as the petulant children they never stopped being---their way. And one other, last thing that's also the FIRST thing about them: WHATEVER the topic, DAMNED is anyone for what they do OR WGAT THEY DON'T. -----Right along with this first/last comes first (a)/ last (a): Whatever the issue, if a "liberal"*does the SAME THING, it's HAILED by the liars of "news", the SUSPICIOUSLY WEALTHY faces of P.C."non-profits", the furrowed-brow set & of course the drugged-up pederasts of Celebrity. Am i right? You betcha. Would you EVER admit it? Of course not, which is why, as sooner or later even the dullest see thru "liberalism" (simply: most 20--year-olds are (& ALWAYS HAVE BEEN) "liberal"; by 40 MOST HAVE (& always have) BECOME less so) your only means of swinging MOST popular elections are myriad frauds, & making eligible folk otherwise ineligible. HOLD your incensed response. I know you have objection to each word i just said. You are high & mighty. You are OUTRAGED! -----I am calm. I know "liberal" "outrage". I know the whole MANIPULATIVE, DISTRACTING playbook. Cuz i used to BE ONE. I even ran for OFFICE as a yout', as a (D) of course, got elected too. What a little PRICK i was, & a good thing i didn't stick at it. I don't speak this way out of ANY conceit, not AT ALL. QUITE the opposite, i speak in some fright yet: for generations (i use the term conscious of it's irony) "libs" have fawned over "youth" as if it's a virtue, even "former youths" in their SEVENTIES getting applause cuz they WERE the "youth candidate" FIFTY YEARS BEFORE---and they ALL are MEDIOCRITIES--- -----As are most OF us; but most of us DO NOT TELL OTHERS WHAT TO DO. Only "liberals" reach out to judge. "Urban sprawl"? There's no WAY to begin responding to an offering SO craftily negative AND HOSTILE: what does it mean to a Do: DAMN / Don't: DAMN person to remind that Demorats controlled most legislatures national AND state in the period documented here, & THEIR "LIBERALISM" borned suburbanization? To insert that, by the way, since CITIES (most CONTROLLED by Dems) are HELLHOLES such that "LIBERALS" live ELSEWHERE---IN the "SPRAWL" for SAFETY? -----There's no engaging with a "liberal" anyway. You believe what you want---are yet SO well-trained that when a PERSON you hate AGREES with you, you THEN DOUBLE--DOUBLE-TWIST words & ideas to savage THAT--- -----Your "urban sprawl" is somebody else's FREEDOM. THAT'S your fundamental tiff. I don't know why EXACTLY cuz everybody's got their own experience (& i know you'd like to tinker with THAT too) but i can guess what's made you so grim. I return to First Principle, that "liberals" knock EVERYTHING. Having knocked it, they see if they can control it. If they CAN, they'll ADOPT the thing. If they can't, well, you know. -----"Liberalism", AND "liberals", SEEK POWER OVER OTHERS. EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS A MANIPULATION, & IN THAT SENSE EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS A LIE. -----"Liberalism" IS a mental disorder, but of a sort analogous to physical disorders that are circumscribed by the phenomena of immunology. Virtually every person goes thru a period of "liberalism", & most are cured of it. Uncured "liberals" seek to keep folk from being cured---NOT just by-the-way are DOOMED in that attempt---further on && another matter, they're DRIVEN to "other means" of tipping public contests---meanime, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. For instance, describe the result of "liberal" proposals FOLLOWED as "urban sprawl". * NEVER has a word been so inaccurately applied.
