I didn't know about these ads, thanks for sharing! Can't imagine how people reacted to that when they aired — the things they described sound so "normal" today, I wonder if it was seen as far fetched, crazy or actually expected.

Wow, that genuinely gave me goosebumps. It is incredible to live in a time where so much of that hopeful optimism came to pass.
