Back to Futurism - Digital Life in 1967

A long long time ago in a galaxy far far away; when the PC was not even a dream, and the internet was just utopia, a company named the Philco-Ford Corporation produced a great prototype video of the breath taking technology they would see arrive in our homes (I was not even born yet :)).
Philco-Ford was an aeronautical company, but the devices they’ve placed in the living room or in dad’s home office look a lot like the ones you’d see in the early Bond movies. Despite the age of the movie, things like online shopping, home surveillance, automated backups and online payments were already being discussed. The movie is estimated to be of around 1967.
Enjoy the ride, but do not forget to come Back to the Future :)
