International Month of Futures Past
In 1958 when Ward Kimball produced “Magic Highway, U.S.A.” for Disneyland, the vision of the future looked a lot like…1958. Aesthetically speaking, that is. Much of the technology still waits to be invented. This month’s Random threads celebrate how imaginations of the past portrayed the future, but in the present, of course, you may be as random as you like.
For the curious, an 8:47-minute excerpt of “Magic Highway, U.S.A.” may be found on YouTube:
