The house of the future very quickly became a part of the forgotten past at the land of fun, joy and of course cartoons. But now Disney is bringing back the lost future as it plans to open a new and revamped ‘House of the Future’. So if you get to be in state of California this summer, then get ready to go on a journey in to the future courtesy of Walt Disney. The house is not just going to be a rehashed version of the old one, which barely lasted a decade, but will be brand new with gadgets that are aimed at startling you. The first House of the Future at Disneyland lasted from 1957 until 1967 and it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the technology inside the house quickly became the present than the future. The house was soon closed as it was obviously no longer the house that took you on a trip in to the future. It was Monsanto, which originally sponsored the first House of the Future and this time it will be software giants like Microsoft and HP along with LifeWare that sponsor the home. The new House of the Future would not just furnish the best in modern day gadgets but goes well beyond that.

There are plenty of sci-fi movies that have bleak visions of the future, depicting people hooked up to computers like they’re plugged into something at the hospital. They think we’ll turn into a society of mindless drones, with computers running our lives rather than vice versa.

Well, if that future awaits us, this G-Tech International “Neber” ergonomic PC chair is the first step. Looking like an office desk combined with a dentist chair, it tilts you back so you’re lulled into a sense of comfort and tranquility. That’s when the cables come out and jack into your brain, I assume, but there are no pictures of that, so you’ll have to use your imagination.

Do you think you’d be able to work in a chair like this?
