The electric home video they love to say "at the touch of a button." Fortunately, I was able to watch that video on my totally electronic smartphone....at the touch of a button.
Every aspect of your home powered by electricity .They forgot to bring up
1. Electric bill
2.what happens when the power goes out
I can't wait for those planetariums in each house, and the bar-b-que pit in each living room.
Well, I bet you 99% of your home is already powered by electricity anyways
Westinghouse really nailed it. As a man, the weather control center is definitely my favorite part of my Total Electric Home.
Life was SO CHEESY and delusional. Now we are on the brink of STUPID. Thanks, Sleepcore, for the fun!
For every 'easy' solution they give us, that part of our brain shuts down until we are just a platform for instructions given to us by Fearless Leader :D
The long range thermometer would’ve been handy in 2020!
A lot of countries that actually embrace 21st century technology use thermal imaging scanners
The ad @2:10 where she caresses the applicator head with a finger and some cream spurts out. Nice.
Wow. Love the 50s era ring doorbell.
Like watching Night Flight on USA in the 80s.
“And the wonder of it is, the total electric home is NOT expensive!“
Really? Tell that to the electric company! I need the electric smelling salts after seeing the bill for trying to only occasionally cool my home with air-conditioning during the summer!
By the time General Electric gets their brand back from Haier we’ll have Retro-retrofuturism
Sad how Louisville’s appliance park is a shell of what it once was and now it’s owned by the Chinese.
Funnily enough the movement detecting lights are one household innovation that actually did come to pass. In the front & back of the home we now own my late grandparents installed security lights way back in the 90s. They still work to this day.
The god of all thermostats
The double sided fridge is a good idea
Conan's in the year 2000 sketch has this as a firm grounding in a late night inspiration
we do have lots of those informational things- they’re just in one computer
Not only do we have long-range thermometers, but I remember seeing a DNA experiment kit for children for sale in an educational toy store. Some of that future is not so far-fetched...
Oh man in the begining those designs are spectacular !
There's channels I watch every day, and never subscribe. So how is it I watched 10 minutes of this and knew I must never let youtube's algorithm hide this from me ever again.
Need that long range thermometer NOW with the ‘rona!😆
I know that the first clip was comedy, BUT THE SENSORY TANK PERFECTLY PREDICTED THE PROBLEMS OF THE FUTUE (or present)
You can keep both hands on the wheel! Except when smartphones come out. Then you don't even keep your eyes on the road. 25:48
Westinghouse - You offer your kids food before the guests??? No wonder the world is so screwed up.
If they had only known about digital!
The Oldsmobile with camera mounted on it, with a camera man! Lol! Surprised the car didn’t tip over!
The last bit though was proper foresight!
I like to see what people of the past thought the future would be like. Now that we are in their future, I wonder what the future from this point in time will be like.
I love your channel!
The last guy nailed it.
The future was not so bright for the little guy he dropped into that drawer. He broke both his legs.
Long-range thermometer happened, kinda. Laser thermometers.
My new favorite channel trust that!!!!!!!!!!!!
The massive thermostat is hilarious.
I went to the future and I saw an alien.
Total electric home sounds like the hype around smart homes. Everything run by ai in your house
electric windows in 1948 car!! That was way ahead of its time.
I thought that was a great representation of what companies do to "the little guy" when he tries to show how much better it could be. Poor McKey.😢
Keep it up!!!👍🏼
good stuff
The wall of light that also cools in summer and heats in winter... Can anybody fathom just how that was supposed to work? "Not on the market yet" indeed! 😂
4:56, yo we need that thermometer like yesterday. Dave KNEW!
That tram cart in the start actually looks like something we could have in some city.
8:06 When the voiceover said, "Pleasant dreams," it looked like they're about to fall sleep.
What was futuristic then looks outdated today.
That dude at 29:20 pretty much nailed it....
@@Oldbmwr100rs yeah I was going to say ‘that dude’ invented the geosynchronous communication satellite in 1945 and wrote ‘2001 A Space Odyssey’ 😉
@@GeekFilter He also wrote childhood's end a lot of other good works, interesting guy.
@@Oldbmwr100rs oh yeah, I know-I just grabbed 2 well known facts. He even helped shape Star Trek through letters to Gene Roddenberry.
@@Oldbmwr100rs His book "July 20, 2019 - Life in the 21st Century", published in 1986, is an interesting read. The date July 20th, 2019 is exactly 50 years after astronauts first landed on the moon. He died in 2008, so he would have seen his communication predictions come true with the advent of the internet.
1:15 - "the parts you sit down on"
some Seats don't identify with being 'parts you sit down on', but some non-Seat surfaces do.
in the future, we won't call benches or chairs Seats anymore because that may offend window ledges and upside-down buckets.
future will be fantastic
*2020*
You know, the Letterman segment was a parody of predictions about the future. Not to be taken seriously even though we do have long range thermometers now, in the world of the future.
In 50s it was the Nuclear craze..
Instead, we got jetliners, with the TSA and mask mandates
The future of bus and train design looks alot like 1930s streamline
All this stuff that people thought was gonna happen in the future but no one thought about smart phones
I purchased the G.E. 2800 to add to my synthesizer setup but, it became a real pain to get water hookups on stage.😜🎵🎵🎹
I was surprised by the Ring(tm) doorbell.
The producer didn't even try to make it B&W.
Wow...8:15 to 9:35...nothing right. Such blindness, predictions based upon only upgraded versions of what already existed. There were lights so in the future...automated lights! (which all need a "buttnnn" to activate. Vinyl LP's in a rack instead of, what? A refrigerator that, instead of being placed vertically in an outcome, is instead strewn across the available kitchen space. A television that...oh boy!...swivels. What a world!!!!
10:10 Looks like the Brady Bunch house
Electricity supplied by coal and nuclear.
Monthly cost may vary according to location.
I wonder if U.S. diplomats will be excited to hear about the new ccp long range rectal thermometer to accompany and enhance the effective diagnostics of the rectal swab...?
I wonder, has anybody tried calling the number at 22:00 to see if it's still customer support for a dishwasher or sex chat line by now? I'm too tired to be bothered to... 💤😴
We d not even have a late night show any more miss them Carson letterman Leno .
3:48 "In the future, everyone will have special glass helmets stuck on their heads, and Donald Trump will be desperately trying to take his helmet off."
👍👍👍
The art from the Letterman World of the Future segment was pretty cool...too bad the humor went over Dave's head.
To be fair, most jokes go over Dave's head these days unless it's about some conservative politician's teenage daughter. I remember when he used to have GOOD writers.
better times
👍👏👏
Did that lady just pull strawberries out of the oven?
La época de oro de Estados Unidos, mientras el mundo apenas tenia para sobrevivir. 2021, han cambiado mucho las cosas.
At 21:10 so much half-truth in that seemingly amazing ad. It says the robot-made dishwasher was made in the most advanced dishwasher plant in the world. Truth: the factory was built in the 1950s, but rapidly retooled with robots, using the recession of 1982 while the workers were absent. The robot method's advent meant workers at that plant lost hundreds of jobs in the next few months and years. It was the first step in GE "Neutron Jack" Welch's policy of ending opportunities and turning cities into rust belts. But the ad frames this as the hope of the future. Never believe a corporate image ad.
Funny some of this stuff was not that far off from what we got
Wow! Electric home with electric chair! Uh...maybe not.
letterman got that thermometer right.
The electric grill comes with an electric starter. If it didn't, people would try to light it. Humanity is doomed.
Fallout wants it kitchen back
The DNA kit for kids is kinda real, you can buy a DNA kit online for not very much money
and now we do animal dna
Letterman rules!
Too bad that Westinghouse isn’t around anymore.
Scissors, electic clippers and trim comb invented so don't need to wear a laser helmet on your head. Most of these were bad jokes.
Ending prophetic ..
wait whats the point of an OUTDOOR exercise bike?? when you can just ride a real bike at that point! or even just run,jog,or walk??🤣
You might think that the dreams of today's idiots are very different from the dreams of idiots of the past. The idiots of the future will also laugh at us.
Tengo 65 años cuando tenía 30 en el IPN escuela superior de México, hicieron una formula homeopatíca para rejuvenecer a gente de 60 a 70 años quedaban en todo en 40,0😊
You can bore your friends with home movies...
Morely safer is great. Have you met his wife lessley safer?
All was well and good until spray paint was invented.
Eso porque somos esclavos de los EU
That's enough! David Letterman was never funny, EVER! How he managed to keep a job has always alluded me! He was tacky and crass and just plain stupid. His writers were even worse. Maybe he was part of the beginning of the Great Decline which has befallen us now.
It's too bad that Westinghouse never created a sidewalk or other system that would turn unwelcome people into a french fry!
NO HONEY! NOT THOSE MOVIES! THOSE ARE FROM OUR FIRST NIGHT ON OUR HONEYMOON!!!!!
Totally electric houses would be possible if each house had its own fusion reactor! Otherwise, uh, NO!
In 1948 that hydromatic transmission was an expensive option. Now, manual transmissions are an expensive option. Weird!
How much more "White" can those chaps in the Westinghouse video get?
"All of these things are not on the market yet, and let's face it, who are we kidding? ..None of it probably will be..
..And if it ever is, it'll probably cost about $5m a pop. So you can be rest assured that you'll never be able to afford it anyway..
..The Westinghouse Home Of The Future. Total Electric. Total Bullshit. And Total Crap."
letterman never was and never will be funny, the only thing funny about him was his teeth...
So happy you're still at it. These videos help ground people who are losing their minds. I say this from experience.
Seems to be a recent trend.
With the decline in western culture, people are giving up on the 21st century and only watching stuff from the 20th century.
They're called bunkhouse people or "BUNKERS".
@@rosssmith8481 is the "decline of western culture" responsible for you making up this story about "Bunkhouse people"?
Be well Mikey ☺☺
