AT&T future of telcoms video 1962, directed by Jetsons writer

Paleofuture features a smashing AT&T industrial video called "Talking of Tomorrow," about the future of telecommunications, directed by Chuck Couch, who wrote The Jetsons. As Paleo notes, the animation style is reminiscent of Jay Ward's Rocky and Bullwinkle, and features a teleworking engineering exec whose videoconferencing takes place from a soundproof room attached to his house: "Business, school and play in this retrofuturistic utopia all depend on the highly advanced communications technologies brought to you by Bell Telephone Labs. Documents — or "business materials" as they call them — are exchanged by 'telephonic machines.' Lasers transmit phone calls and TV shows from space. Data processing machines… um… process data."
