Strange, But True.

I saw this in the YouTube 'recommendations' and found it slightly amusing on a couple of levels.

First -but not insulting them, the sixties children's perceptions of a more mechanical world in the year 2000,
but their assumptions from such a robotic system and the unhappiness it may bring. Their opinions might've
seemed strange back then, but two decades on from the year they're commenting on, the imaginary world
of these children seems fairly harmless to what 2020/21 is actually about.


The second thing that made me smile were the children's accents. All well-schooled and not a regional tone
amongst them.
In my world at that time, they called them 'posh kids' back then!
(But were they wrong?)

That's very interesting.  What strikes me is that all these kids seem to be so well spoken and intelligent.  They are probably around my age if still living, and I don't remember other kids being that well spoken.  Maybe they were better schooled in Great Britain where I assume this was recorded.  I don't know, I feel like the kids I grew up with would have just been like, 'uh, maybe there'd be some flying cars and stuff".  I don't remember anyone talking about or even being aware of computers.  I remember reading about computers back in the '60s but they were just something that the scientists had access to back then.
