** Amazingly, as of the mid-2010s (more than fifty years later!) this particular prediction was surprisingly accurate, with the advent of home automation. The only real difference is that it's controlled by a smartphone rather than a payphone, but the concept is otherwise the same.

It was directed by Jerry Fairbanks and features ample footage of the 1962 UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}} World's Fair.

!!Tropes:
* ChewingTheScenery: The two...teenagers mincing about the fair, nearly bowling people over.
* MightyWhitey: Heavily implied by the short, as the two teens treat various ethnic persons at the Fair like dolls.
** Perhaps justified, as it was the World's Fair, and those people were there as live demonstrations of their cultures, including their clothing and accessories.
* LandmarkOfLore: The then-new Space Needle, Monorail and what is now the Pacific Science Center.
* SocietyMarchesOn: And on and on and ''on.''
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: First of all, the Monorail doesn't even exist anymore...
* TheVoiceless: The two main characters never speak.
* {{Zeerust}}: Zig-zagged; a number of the then-new advances have become ubiquitous. Other uses (such as phoning the house in order to start the oven) have been found too fanciful.
** On the other hand, these days you can email your home printer and tell it to start churning stuff out, which is the same thing in a different room.
