By then we won't have cellphones apparently. Just these things on posts along the moving sidewalk.

R.H.H. did a short story about people who no longer traveled in cars. All the traveling was done via 200mph walk ways. I wonder if this came out about the same time.

Each person appears to be wearing a unitard, which is nice.

I remember going to the New York Worlds Fair in 1964 where they had a lot of futuristic ideas presented. Some were close, a lot were not.
The Dick Tracy cartoons of the time had him communicating on his two way wrist radio and are probably the closest to how the future turned out.

One of the items that back then could not predict, however we in the present can for our future is that there will either be a genderless society or many numerous genders. I do not like nor agree with it. God Bless

I wonder if the unitards come in mossy oak?

The advance of technology is nearly always overestimated in the short run, and underestimated in the long run.
