The Internet In 1969 Video | Vintage Clip Predicts Online Shopping

Posted: 29 Jan 2010 08:06 PM PST

Consoles like “the household monitor screen” and an “electronic correspondence machine” don’t exist today, but this vintage clip from 1969 is pretty close to predicting the internet.

Also included is an unintentional bit of sexism; which I find very funny.

This clip is an excerpt from an actual documentary in 1969 about the future of middle class Americans. Surprisingly, it predicts things like online shopping and e-mail.

Another funny thing about this video is the subliminal sexism when it concerns the husband paying the bills for the wife. His face at the 0:46 mark is priceless.

Clever Dolphins Hunting Video | Fish Jump Right Into Their Mouths!

Posted: 29 Jan 2010 03:09 PM PST

We dogged on dolphins in a recent post, but there's no denying that these marine mammals are clever critters. Here we see the bottlenose dolphins’ unique brand of hunting.

It’s a little hard for those flippers to hold spears or other hunting implements, so these dolphins have to use their heads. We see one dolphin stir up mud circles, seemingly trapping his favorite fishy treats.

These “trapped” snacks panic, jumping out of the water in fear … right into the mouths of the dolphin’s waiting friends. You don’t get fish much fresher than that!

I think I need to make some dolphin friends. This looks a lot more successful than using bait and hooks!
