Back to the future of airfare
Check out this mid-1960s Braniff ad about the future of air travel. I’m not sure which I find scarier, the line: “You don’t have to carry a passport, because a computer already knows more about you than you do,” or those weird egg-like seats. I like the idea of being able to set your mood to a certain level, though. And the idea that you could just push a button and chow appears. Unfortunately, the reality is oh so much different!
Would anyone right now even be willing to hazard a guess at the future of air travel?

Very cheesy to say the least. But the reality of air travel in the mode shown in the video will not happen in our lifetime. Maybe the year 2500 when none of us on earth are around then perhaps a better mouse trap will be developed. The effort of travel today is more work than pleasure.
