1966: UK schoolkids imagine life in the year 2000 [video]

Some quotes from the kids:

"I think there is going to be all this automation, people are going to be out of work."

"People will be regarded more as statistics and as actual people."

"They're not going to have so many square houses, more curves and artistic designs instead of boxes like they've got nowadays."

"People wouldn't be able to live in ordinary houses because it would take up too much room. It'd have to be in flats piled on top of one another and the houses would be rather small and everything would be very cramped."

"Sheep and cows and livestock - they'll be kept in batteries. They won't be allowed to graze on pasture, they'll be kept in buildings, all together, all in one big building and artificially reared so they'll yield a larger, be bigger."

Some of the predictions reflect preoccupations of the time like atomic bombs and overpopulation. It's interesting that most (not all) predictions err more on a pessimistic outlook.
