When EPCOT Center opened in 1982 Communicore was the hub of all things technology and progress. Inside one attraction stood out as maybe looking a little dated and out of place when in reality it was so far ahead of it's time that we can stand in amazement at it today. A collection of wood displays including a man in a bowler hat, a ferris wheel and tower of rotary phones. This was Einsel Theater and the Display was The Age of Information. As it would come to life opening hidden scenes and move characters a song would play telling us about all the amazing tech the future had to offer. Including Smart phones, Amazon, and Google. It truly was the Nostradamus of the 80's. So Let's sit back and enjoy the Age of Information and listen to the future of the past that is now the present.
Sing Along Here
Age
of Information
now
mom and dad and junior can own
a
new-fangled smart telephone
its
amazing all the things it can do
As
it brings the world closer to you
you
can sit right there in your easy chair
and
check the stock report
on
a screen at home make plans to roam
to
your favorite ski resort
It’ll
bring the world closer to you
There’s
a wonderful change comin’
a
beautiful day dawnin’
a
miracle we’re seeing come true
’cause
the age of information
is
sweeping across the nation
and
bringing the world closer to you
it
will call the cops on a robber
it
will help the kids with their homework
it
will hook your home to your office
send
your heartbeat clear crosstown
it
will give you all kinds of freedom
Like
when you want to go shopping
it
will bring the store to your front door
it’s
the handiest thing around
and
it brings the world, closer to you
and
its making the world better
its
making the world smaller
its
giving the world something brand new
’cause
the age of information
is
sweeping across the nation
and
bringing the world closer to you
Now
the miracles have only begun
In
the places where our business gets done
the
office of tomorrow will be
the
very model of efficiency
If
you want data,
you’ll
get that data
And
only the data you need
And
the words are movin’
And
the mail is movin’
With
electronic speed
you
will talk to two or quite a few
on
a teleconference call
and
the chips are sorting
and
the datas moving
on
a thread of glass so small
as
it brings the world, closer to you
your
phone will be a computer
it
will make your bank deposits
it
will mail your voice like a letter
where
it can wait to a later date
to
communicate
so
we’re making the world better,
we’re
making the world smaller
we’re
bringing the world something brand new
cause
the age of information
is
sweeping across the nation
and
bringing the world closer to you
and
your voice is traveling
and
your words are moving
and
the wires are humming a song
and
the world is changin’
and
the countrys’ changin’
so
won’t you come along?
on
this wonderous journey
to
the information age
there’s
a wonderful change comin’
a
beautiful day dawnin’
a
miracle we’re seeing coming true
cause
the age of information
is
sweeping across the nation
and
bringing the world closer to you
closer
to you
closer
to you
bringing
the world
bringing
the world
closer
to you
