Our own Carousel of Progress

Here’s a neat old clip of Walt Disney from 1963 introducing the famous “Carousel of Progress” before it was installed in the 1964 World’s Fair in New York. The exhibit showcased the many advances made in the average American home from the late 1890s until the present day. It was a favorite of Disney’s and proved so popular that it is still on display today at Disney World. For its time this was cutting edge technology. Be sure to check out the computers they used and of which Disney was quiet proud. Sometimes its necessary to count our blessings in life and also to realize that the amazing innovations that we now take for granted were once state of the art. Our ancestors would be amazed.
