They cut out the first three minutes out it was the history of the years 1630-1775-1860 (pre electric). Also some problematic language was used in those years, (mentioning how women worked in the home.)

We choose how to use scientific discoveries and envision their potential. Didn’t we buy what was sold? We also continue to buy the practical applications of ideas. I agree that we have a money driven social structure.
@@gaze505 sure but my concern is not about money, its about culture. I wanted a future like the Jetsons, but what i got was politics spreading hate and polarizing people and making us worry about every “ism” in the book

I don't know but the style they showed their I had a lady that I knew that had one in her laundry room back in the '50s. I guess it depend. It was sold as the True Value Store it was called a rotary steam iron. I can find some of the newer ones but I can't find the particular one she had.
@@berylwhite2983 Are you referring to the roller ironing device called "a Mangle"? They were ironing sheets and tablecloths. Nowadays with cotton/poly blends in fabrics plus using tumble dryers it's no longer necessary. Years ago, line drying and 100% cotton linens meant huge amounts of ironing with a small handheld iron. Those roller ironing devices are still used today in commercial setting. Not home use.
I wish they still animated things like this. Nowadays, the population is 'too stupid' and the technology is either 'too advanced' or 'too dangerous' to meddle with. Take every opportunity to learn about the world around you. Pay attention to the man behind the curtain!

World travel has never been cheaper.
What does "edited for today" mean? Wild to see this though from a world before modern appliances.
Not sure,
Probably year 1940. The 'Laundromat' was 1st produce in 1940. That refrigerator looks like prewar too.
Or could be just after W.W. 2

Why is the dining room so far away from the kitchen?
Was 20 Amp service common back then?
Why we never got the iron table?

we got fabrics that don't need ironing. you used to have to iron EVERYthing, even sheets and towels.
@@nardo218
Towels have never been iron. Ever !
Only a 1 car garage?
kinda ate with this tbh
Why would you be ironing while making toast? Why would you iron at all?
I appreciate you censoring this for common sensibilities instead of leaving it intact as a cultural artifact. You did us a great service.
