In 1957, Disney showcased an all-plastic 'House of the Future' sponsored by Monsanto. Stupid? Yeah. Of course, back then we knew it was only a matter of time before we were all living space-age lives just like the Jetsons. Oil shortages, the effect of plastics on the environment, and energy crises were the last things on peoples' minds. We had something of an excuse.
But fifty years later, we know better. We know that plastic is harmful and unsustainable, and our early dreams of the future are too energy-intensive to be sustainable.
So what does Disney do? They make a new plastic House of the Future full of electronic gadgets even more stupid and pointless than the first.
No dreams of sustainability dancing through Disney's head, oh, no. It's all plastics and stupid electronic novelties. Pop-up faucets. LCD-display pictures hanging on the wall. LCD writing pads. An LCD dining table.
Disney, I am very, very disappointed in you.
Get a load of it here.
