Truly remarkable creative thinking in a way that does not exist today. This was a year after humans landed on the Moon, and I can understand the inspiration that drove the 70s.

I think rather it is about not retreading on the learned boundaries that we’ve already established or “solved”. So now we see concepts that test different kinds of human/machine integration. Such as worn AI devices, headsets, and the future idea of brain chips. As for automatic washers: The idea isn’t totally gone - enclosed automated pet washers are around. (Despite being clearly terrifying for some pets.)

- makeitdouble 2y agowe have actual adaptive beds that auto adjust your position, firmness, temperature and fully monitor your sleep to improve it. But they sure don't have a funky 70s style design, perhaps that's the part that's missing for most people ?
- csomar 2y agoJust look at the old design/production and the new one. Japan has simply regressed in design and manufacturing. I'll not pretend that I know why, and I don't think anybody does. But they had a nice run during which they got "dreamy" about the future and then... the bubble burst. Here hoping that China gives us another run since the US of A has decided the take the back seat, financialize everything and put MBA/Bureaucrats in every corner of the process.
