| Disneyland Revives 'House of The Future'
Millions of Disneyland visitors lined-up from 1957 through 1967 to catch a glimpse of The "House of the Future," a pod-shaped, all-plastic dwelling that showcased mind-blowing gadgets such as handsfree phones, wall-sized televisions, plastic chairs, and electric razors and toothbrushes. Disney is set to open a second futuristic abode in Tomorrowland's Innoventions -- this time in partnership with 21st century technology giants. The 5,000-square-foot home scheduled to open in May will look like a normal suburban home outside, but inside it will feature hardware, software and touch-screen systems that could simplify everyday living.
