People always want to know about the future. They wonder what future will look like, how people will live, what they will wear, eat, listen to. Let's try to make a travel "back to the future". 

In 1967, the most trusted man in America investigated the home of the 21st century. Legendary news anchor Walter Cronkite’s regular half-hour CBS documentary program “The 21st Century” was a glorious peek into the future. Every Sunday night viewers of the late 1960s were shown all the exciting technological advancements they could expect to see just 30 or 40 years down the road. The March 12, 1967 episode gave people a look at the home of the 21st century, complete with 3D television, molded on-demand serving dishes, videophones, inflatable furniture, satellite newspaper delivery and robot servants.
