You know, they actually did pretty good on some stuff...

You will be whisked around in monorail vehicles at 200 miles an hour

You'll have a home control room - an electronics centre, where messages will be recorded when you're away from home. This will play back when you return, and also give you up-to-the minute world news, and transcribe your latest mail.

You'll have wall-to-wall global TV, an indoor swimming pool, TV-telephones and room-to-room TV.

Machines will "talk" to each other.
