The Kitchen of the Future, 1967
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 04. 5.08
The future sure isn't what it used to be. Back in 1967 we were promised computerized kitchens where all the food was prepared and frozen, then microwaved in two minutes to order. Dishes were disposable, everyone got what they wanted and our diets were carefully calibrated for nutrition. But hey, I still have those Thonet dining chairs!

If everything is automatic, why does she have pots hanging on her wall?
In the future, every thing is Avocado.
But I would get that kid some meds. Counting down to lunch isn't healthy. I think maybe he's autistic or something.
Lunch countdown. Hee, hee, hee. It's a space age pun.
Thanks for posting such a great historic clip. It's always interesting to see what predictions of the future came true and which didn't.
hahaha I was laughing about the very late 60's - 70's avocado stuff. The plates floating down were great as well. If only she had fed the lunch menu in with a punchcard or reel to reel, I would have died laughing.
They got the flat screen monitors right too. Lot of that stuff looks straight out of ikea also. creepy.
