The Further, Then and Now

I was surfing the internet and founded this;

Disneyland’s new Innoventions Dream Home brings back memories of 1957’s Monsanto House of the Future.

Disney’s new Innoventions Dream Home isn’t your father’s house of the future. Back when your dad or granddad was doing Disneyland circa 1957, the Monsanto House of the Future was Tomorrowland’s vision of urban utopia. It boasted curved Polaris white plastic walls and huge panes of Eichler-era windows, also plastic. Its shape, viewed from above, was that of a stylized + sign: The rooms emanated at right angles from a central hub, which was the only part of the house that touched the ground.

Really wish i had one of these :D

The rest hovered several feet above the earth, an apt architectural metaphor for a dwelling whose chemical company sponsor boasted that no natural materials were used in its construction.

The House of the Future had some things right, predicting microwave ovens, push-button phones and flat panel TVs. But somehow 1986 — the year the house was intended to depict — came and went without many of us buying ultrasonic dishwashers or taking up residence in a suspended plastic ice cube tray.
