BBC Panorama: California 2000 (1966)

Panorama: California 2000 was first shown on the 18th August 1966 on BBC One.

Summary: Imagining how California's technology industry will evolve by the year 2000.

Duration: 45 minutes

Highlights:
A glimpse at a Grateful Dead show in San Francisco.
An interview with Linus Pauling who discusses the widening gap between rich and poor.
A Rand Institute consultant comparing voyages in inner and outer space using LSD.
A Stanford Institute guy discussing how computers will affect everyone's lives in the future.

Overall a very quaint and thoroughly naive view of the world right on the cusp of tremendous changes for the worse. 1966, despite our technological advances since then, was like paradise on Earth compared to pretty much every year after that...
