They forgot the part where everything in your home collects your personal data and sells it to anyone who wants it.

I saw this film in school when I was a kid. At the end of it one particularly bright student asked "what about poor people?"

I love the ominous music when it's revealed to be 1999, like it's a dark and scary time

Karen (Marj Dusay) told her son at the beach that she was 44. I was thinking to myself she looks pretty young for 44. She was actually 31 at the time. She was also the actress in Star Trek that stole Spock's brain. I remember Wink Martindale as a game show host later on. What a crazy little film clip.

"Michael has a minor back ache, so with the computer terminal he catalogues his symptoms using WebMD, and it tells him the most likely cause of his discomfort. Cancer."

The makers of this film never imagined people would be watching this on a smart phone in 2019.

One thing I'm impressed with is that their version of 1999 already had flat screen monitors which didn't become common until at least 2005.

I bet that kid was really disappointed when he got to 1999 in his late 30’s, and realized that life in 1969 was much closer to 1999 than anything in this video was.

"All education is within the home" 2019: Haha thats dumb 2020: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Back there, people were obsessed with the future Now, people are obsessed with the past

I was born less than a year before this came out and in 1999 I was working on the Y2K project; something in '67 they didn't anticipate could be a problem in 30+ years. Nice to see they understood how much we would use computers; even if they could not anticipate the Internet or that we didn't need centers, one computer could serve many purposes and in general we'd all have one that could fit in our pockets.

It's now 2023 how I miss them olden days and those futuristic movies from 1999 A.D.

wow i can't wait for 1999 it's gonna be great

The husband says, "you can't beat the Amazon" the most accurate prediction in the whole show.

This is extremely well done when you consider what people (even in the know) knew about computers back in '67.

This was produced in 1967. Well made and love that many of the predictions came true.😀

Expected to see a half-buried Statue of Liberty on that opening beach.

In the real 1999, Jamie would have been sat in front of his computer the whole time playing Doom.

Its always amazing that these types of films never can predict the social change that might happen in the future

I seem to forget that I’m watching this old video on an advanced small wireless portable device that controls my home AC, house lights, wallet, TV, GPS, camera, photos, calendar, car keys, music, media, news, weather climate, etc. along with a health smart watch and wireless phone ear buds. 🙃

It's really cute that they thought we'd be on the metric system by 1999

"there will be no need for social interacition, everything can be learned about and garnered from a computer" So they got that part correct.

60 years later we are longing for the 60s.

It’s amazing that they were very accurate about “What” computers would be doing for us, but they didn’t predict “how” we would use them… the UI was all knobs, dials, and buttons. Nobody thought about touch screens, or voice control…

In the year 2000.....all men will exercise in turtle necks. Style will NOT be sacrificed for comfort or even fitness.

Man, that computer didn't play around. "YOU FLUNK"

I definitely want the beehive style house that grows with my family and hobbies, that’s pure genius!

I found it interesting that things were so futuristic, yet the concept of (what we now call) traditional roles in the marriage were sill upheld. mom being the cook. dad being the breadwinner. etc. Sure mom had a career before she had kids. Lucky she gets to still make pottery, though! Also find it interesting that they were ok with disposable everything. dinner ware, clothes, etc. Not even talk of recyclable. Everyone is like OOOooo. they predicted the microwave. yeah. big whoop. I want the one they have in this video. The one that automatically obtains food from the supermarket, portions and preps it for you. You only touch the final product. Also, the clothes cleaning closet. i want that too!

Remember kids, if it doesn't have 6000 flashing lights, it's not a computer!

I love retro futurism. It's always fascinating to see what people back then thought the future would be like.

Even if not yet fully deployed, almost all of this technology in this late 1960's film now exists.

I mean they nailed online shopping, online banking, remote learning, e mail, speedy food prep, and the concept of the “smart home” ….not bad for retro futurism!

"The house of 1999 will be maintenance free". My A##.

watching this from my private spaceship in 2019

Well, they did get some of the furniture right, especially the chairs and kitchen table. Mid century style furniture was all the rage in the late 90s / early 2000s.

I love those computers! I grew up in the 60s and it is always amazing how we thought the 21st century was going to be!

I like that the mum adds "A.D." to the year, like the kid might have thought it was B.C. or something

Just your average family. The father is an astro-physicist.

This was from 1967 if anyone else wonders where in the past we were for this video. Love the video I think it's insanity not to mention when this was made. 40s 50s 60s 70s ..Something like "1999 House of Tomorrow," from 1967.I only scrolled 200 comments hopefully the 7300 comment mentioned 1967.

I've always admired the soothing narrating tone of Alexander Scourby in old educational or documentary type videos like these from the 1960's. He also narrates another favorite of mine, titled 'Dr. Leakey and the Dawn of Man'. I find it eerily astonishing on how accurate many of these futuristic predictions really were from 32 years prior (released in 1967)...and to be realistic about it, we're now 23 years past 1999 already. Even the physical props are incredibly similar to see computer monitors, keyboards, printers, musical organ with a monitor, HVAC system, microwave ovens, disposable dishes, switchable window shades, etc... They obviously were on the right track and could see where the future was headed to some degree, regarding technology and automation. This is actually astonishing, considering they had no clue about the internet, but could predict things like "fingertip shopping", computer to calculate things like a dinner menu, calorie intake and food recommendations, inputting/recalling information from computer "memory banks" that are available instantly, computer home schooling, computer gaming, home post office, computer bank statements/car payment balance/taxes, home surveillance, home camera to camera intercom system, data monitoring and emergency backup centers, body scanning, AI which relays personal statistics back to to you via audio, computer planning and regional weather conditions, big screen tv's/projectors for entertaining parties, etc... These are absolutely phenomenal predictions! I have not yet seen the home vaporized cleaning closets, nor the home automated dish dispensers yet, but give it time. Lol. Sadly, these predictions and futuristic lifestyles were overly sensationalized at the time of this film. It's one of those things where you have to be careful for what you wish for. The grass isn't always greener on the other side and I believe our modern existence is more miserable than anything these days with how technology controls us, monitors our every move, documents our flaws, uses those human flaws against us, enslaves us and shapes us as a society and species negatively more than anything. What's funny is how, with all of this futuristic advancement and in the manner that the video portrays this sort of glorious, healthy and upbeat way of living, the kid actually "flunked" his home schooling test. It's also funny to see how they thought that with all of the computerized help and automation, it would relieve us of a lot of home duties, only to allow for much more idle free time to, say, craft pottery. That's the farthest thing from the truth, as the computers and automation have just stressed our lives beyond belief and have utilized almost all of our free time...much of it in pure nonsense with never-ending IT issues, a million sites to register on/log in/log out, scams, fraud, online addictions. With all of our modern computers and automated advancements, you'd think that things would almost be flawless, but it's nearly the exact opposite. There are constant things which are always being screwed up these days to no end! The use of computers and their conveniences and luxuries have actually constricted our lives and freedoms more than anything and have proven to do more harm than good. Less is more in life.

Meanwhile here in 2019, they still can’t get our orders right at the drive thru.

"I would like a Cheeseburger n Chips with a cold beer." Computer says 'No'.

It's priceless that they had the kid replaying the chess match he had with his father (from days earlier), utilising the screen, but they failed to eliminate the need for the actual chess set in the dramatisation. These future visions are both too futuristic and too archaic, at the same time.

I love how they invented wireless printers first before the concept of online shopping and credit cards

"In the past we thought that ignorance was the result of a lack of information, the Internet has shown us that is not the case"

food delivered to the house and classroom learning from home with no social interaction? They knew about the virus man, Im getting my tin foil

I love how they're showing everyone the video they took at a concert on a big screen in a cocktail party, when what it's actually ended up as is someone holding up their phone for their friends to watch the video they took... it's what we have now, but they envisioned it as bigger, clunkier, and more glamorous. (garage band, paypal, zoom, skype, fitness tracking, online shopping... now where's my laundry-doing closet and my magical medical bed, huh?)

I remember watching this film in Junior High School, over 30 years ago. It’s amazing how everything in the film is coming to past. When I look at what’s happening in the world with home/virtual schooling, it’s the way of the future…prepare for take off. I’ve been looking for this movie for years.

*Dad is working on a giant peach. Son is named James. Hmmm...* 🤔

Who knew the 90's would look exactly like the 60's??

00:45 the actress is Marj Dusay (02/20/1936 - 01/28/2020) who starred in Star Trek TOS: Spock's Brain (S3. E1) which aired September 20, 1968 in which she played 'Kara'.

Good to see Wink Martindale, Watched quite a bit of Tic Tac Dough back in the day,

I kept waiting for Charleton Heston to ride up and start screaming "You Maniacs!!!"

"3 wrong: you flunk" is the most accurate prediction

Wow! Ok so I like watching these old films, some of which remind me of things I saw in school. This one however, was a bit chilling 😱 Thank you for posting this one. Really appreciated it!

I watched this elementary school, in the 4th and 5th grade!

They did get some things right like Internet shopping, and banking.

"Take the garbage out, Hal" "Im afraid I cannot do that, Dave"

I was a kid when I saw this in the 60’s on TV. I had caught it right at the beginning so I saw the boy and his mother on the beach and when I saw her draw in the sand that the year was 1999. I got so, so depressed. That was way in the future and I would never live to see that.

Wink Martindale!!! Fun to see him again. love the video, so much did come to pass.

20 years later and i still dont have one of those chemical vapour/ultasonic vibrating cleaning closets for my non disposable clothing

This movie got like 70-80% of it's predictions right even if they weren't aesthetically identical.

thank you; that was really helpful, philosophically and in life. Film looked/felt fresh and timely.

This was awesome to watch. Thank you!

This was made in 1967. I like that they use flat screen monitors.

No mention of when this film was made, and the link is broken, so hopefully this can be pinned... This came out in 1967.

Those computers were so HUGE! We had desktops and Windows 98 operating system , laptops and flip phones in 1999.

I remember seeing this in elementary school around 1974 or 75. I've never forgot it. Now I live in the "future." It's interesting to see they didn't think so much about touch screens back then. Everything needs a button or a knob.

1975: mum what’s a desk top computer? It’s what we will have in 1999! 2021: mum what’s a desktop computer it’s what we had in 1999!

I might have asked my mother what day of the month it was; In desperate times I may have even needed asked what day of the week it was; but never in my whole life have I needed to ask my mother what year it was.

Some of these thoughts are beyond today, i love it

FYI: "1967, Philco-Ford Corporation marked its 75th anniversary by producing this film titled 1999 A.D. Philco was a pioneer in battery, radio, and television production. In 1961, the company was purchased by Ford and, from 1966, renamed "Philco-Ford". Ford sold the company to GTE in 1974, and it was purchased by Philips in 1981. In North America, the Philco brand is owned by Philips."

Funny how society back then had a very optimistic and imaginative view of the future, while nowadays we portray the future as almost exclusively dystopian.

If this is 1999, can you even imagine what 2019 will be like?!?

One thing they actually got right: Bobby Fisher, the chess player, lived until 2008. Meaning that they correctly predicted he would be alive in 1999

I had no idea Jordan Peele was such a tremendous counter-tenor, circa 1999!

@10:52: "The house of 1999 will be virtually maintenance-free." Me in 2020: WE'RE 21 YEARS BEYOND THE TARGET YEAR! WHERE'S MY MAINTENANCE-FREE HOME?????

The home keyboard seems to have only X's and Y's. Remember when we started typing in chromosome language in 1999?

I'm glad wink martindale is still with us in 2021.

Gotta love how Dad works out in his turtleneck shirt

“3 wrong answers, you flunk !” Harsh

For some reason the opening of this reminds me of Planet of the Apes. (1968 A.D.)

I watched this back in the seventies , and now I'm living it !

I wonder what Wink Martindale would say about this video now, hopefully there's a footage or a podcast/radio of him looking back at this and having his commentary

And then the Y2K bug devastated the family’s computers the next year and the Matrix had to be rebuilt from scratch.

I bet there's a massive job market for IT technicians in 1999. All those bulbs and buttons to replace.....

The music playing as she writes the year in sand makes me think this was going to be a horror movie. They got the day wrong for June 2, 1999. They said it was Tuesday, but it was actually a Wednesday.

The car is really a large SCALE MODEL car called the "Ford Seattle-Ite XXI", a Concept Car, from1962. Trick photography makes it like full-sized car.

I like how the old imagination "future" still looks bulky and retro

“A society rich in leisure and taken for granted comforts.” Now THAT is an accurate description of 2019.

funny how in 1999 everything was a lot more advanced than the design imagined here, and yet most of it never come even closer to the technology they expected.

It's fascinating to think that people in those days would consider this kind of future impressive and we think this kind of future is premitive.

The future ain't gonna be so bright if its led by kids who don't know what year it is and forget what music they're playing.

It took until the year 2019 for this vid to show up in my suggested feed.

A whole room for the computer but still, only one bathroom.

Wow! This is gonna be great - can't wait!!!

the "IKEA" style of their home is quite accurate lol!

"So for the soundtrack, do you want it to be chipper and whimsical or overwhelming and intense?" "Yes."

I watch this, it is pretty amazing how much they got right, desktop PCs, on-line purchasing, KZfaq (singer). I actually liked the clothes, the ties and women’s vails. :)

The actor who plays Mike, the dad is Wink Martindale who went on to host the game show Tic Tac Dough. He was also a popular disc jocky. He’s always smiling and full of energy.
