I absolutely love those weird old “glimpse into the future” promotional videos that Philco Ford, RCA Whirlpool, Frigidaire, and those sorts of companies used to produce. You know the ones I’m talking about: some hair-helmet early 1950’s model highlights things like electric blenders, kitchen computers, and steel appliances and we laugh because not only do we have those things, those things are considered old fashioned today. Or, at the very least, taken for granted. Well, feel free to take a look into the future via the past.
The one good thing about that kitchen of tomorrow is the fact that it’s incredibly spacious! Who wouldn’t want a kitchen so gigantic you can have both a full-sized table, two sets of cabinets, a breakfast bar, and a desk! That’s not just the dream kitchen of 1957, that’s the dream kitchen of today, too! I’ve been wanting a water-proof in-kitchen recipe computer/Internet terminal for years now.
