Prologue
Ordinary town in the United States . Yesterday he was quiet, peaceful, calm. A sample of complete serenity. And suddenly, suddenly ... TV! Problems came with the television ...
Story
The film satirizes TV satirically , as well as the problems caused by it (such as eye strain). In a manner that parodies the commercial, the film offers a humorous version of how to fix these problems in the future. So interference from a flying airplane is proposed to be solved with the help of an anti-aircraft gun built into the television. In order not to break away from watching a TV program on a meal, the TV of the future is promised to be built right into the kitchen stove. To save on maintenance, models with a telemaster sitting inside will be produced, and for the “lean Scottish” it is proposed to produce a TV the size of a flashlight.
Miscellaneous
Without knowing it, the authors of the film predicted some phenomena that, although they looked like a joke in the 50s, time has found a different use for them. Among these are the following "jokes":
- Television will work late, especially for the "owls"
- Bathtub TV
- "And in general, the house of the future will be built around the TV"
