SeanChron - Brad Paisley's "Welcome to the Future" video

10.28.10 - I'm a Nebraska farm boy at heart so I was pretty excited about Brad Paisley's 2009 song, "Welcome to the Future". Check out the video above. In addition to showcasing science, design, and culture shaping our future around the world, the video features children from the many and diverse communities and cultures across America talking about what they want to be when they grow up. Can't wait to line dance to this one. Yee haw!

SeanChron - "Future Shock" video with dramatic Orson Welles and 70s disco soundtrack

I seem to be crushing on Future Shock these days so I was psyched to run across part 1 of this fabulous 1972 documentary of Future Shock (via Greg Linday's fastcompany.com article). Orson Wells does a fantastic job of delivering a theatrical narrative and the future-ambient soundtrack is over the top. But...once again, the content and message were completely avant-garde at the time and remain so today. You can find parts 2-5 of the full documentary on YouTube.
