It's even more fun when you find examples of futurism that actually end up being rather accurate. Hell, it was fairly progressive for a 1960s vision of computer technology to not include massive, room-sized units with vacuum tubes and spinning reels and 600 incomprehensible buttons. The computers in this video actually bear a reasonable resemblance to PCs. I can't even remember seeing a 1960s computer of the future with a QWERTY keyboard and I'm certain I've never seen one which predicted flat-panel displays.
Of course, in all examples, either fashion stays firmly planted in 1957 or everybody wears shiny jumpsuits.
