Visions of the Future

I love these old videos with views of the future that never were.

The Motorola concept video 2000 A.D.(produced in 1990 and focuses on the fantastic wireless future.)

Motorola part 2 200 A.D.

Motorola Part 3 2000 A.D.

Pacific Bell Concept Video (1991) (3 parts)

Connections: AT&T's Vision of the Future (1993) (9 parts)

Flowers by Alice (1992) (5 parts)

Apple's Knowledge Navigator (1987)

Apple's Grey Flannel Navigator (1988) (3 parts)

I recall seeing these Andersen Consulting videos at conferences in the 90's:

Vision (Clip 1, 1993)

Vision (Clip 2, 1993)

Vision (Clip 3, 1993)

I also saw this Sun Microsystems video in the 90's:

Starfire (1994) (8 parts)

GTE's Classroom of the Future (1987) (3 part)

Homework in the Future (1981)


These might make great openers or warm up exercises for your visioning and strategic planning days. A healthy dose of scepticism is great to generate good discussions.
