House of the Future is no longer a thing of the past!

Still looks pretty 70’s ish
The house of the future very quickly became a part of the forgotten past at the land of fun, joy and of course cartoons. But now Disney is bringing back the lost future as it plans to open a new and revamped ‘House of the Future’. So if you get to be in state of California this summer, then get ready to go on a journey in to the future courtesy of Walt Disney. The house is not just going to be a rehashed version of the old one, which barely lasted a decade, but will be brand new with gadgets that are aimed at startling you. The first House of the Future at Disneyland lasted from 1957 until 1967 and it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the technology inside the house quickly became the present than the future. The house was soon closed as it was obviously no longer the house that took you on a trip in to the future. It was Monsanto, which originally sponsored the first House of the Future and this time it will be software giants like Microsoft and HP along with LifeWare that sponsor the home. The new House of the Future would not just furnish the best in modern day gadgets but goes well beyond that.
The new one will attempt to impress visitors with various home control devices, automagic lighting, thermostats, ubiquitous audio/video systems, computerized everything and touchscreens aplenty. So basically it would be like a trip to the most advanced science lab in the world or something akin to that. But knowing the rate at which we are adopting new technology and the rate at which modern gadgets are becoming accessible to one and all, I would doubt how long this new house would last without having to constantly re-furniture itself.
