There were two films we were shown as part of our academic programs at TESC in the 1970s. I probably saw each one at least once a year. Future Shock (1973) and The Medium is the Massage (1969) were both short films with lots of garish colors (worthy of Roger Corman's Poe cycle), disturbing rapid-fire montages, and frightening predictions for the near future. The incredibly hammy and dramatic Orson Welles narrated the first film. The second movie was about Marshall McLuhan. They were both designed to scare the Hell out of us. Sort of an educational film version of some commercial movies of the era like Soylent Green (1973) and THX 1138 (1971).
» But, as it turned out, the real future, which is now the past, was ten times more horrifying.
