#TomScott says that there's a long history of British people getting breathlessly excited about maglev trains. Yes, but that's 20th century history. Old Tomorrows World from the 1970s to 1990s.

In the 21st century, in contrast, there's instead a fairly long history of British people scornfully looking at monorails, maglevs, ekranoplans, and the like, making references to Concorde, and predicting that it will never happen.

[1992] Tomorrow's World - Judith Hann demonstrates a new cassette incorporating metal tape, that contains music which has been converted into digital code. When the tape is played on a compatible tape deck, the digital code is converted back into music, producing excellent sound quality with none of the audio degradation associated with existing pre-recorded cassettes. Is this the future?

[1971] Tomorrow's World - James Burke reports on the latest developments in fibre optics production and use. Fibre optics are hair thin glass rods which can carry electric light and are less limited in use than conventional light bulbs. But just what can these miracles of modern science be used for?

[1967] Tomorrow's World - Derek Cooper reports on Europe's first home computer terminal. Installed into the home of industrial consultant Rex Malik, it includes an electric typewriter and can send and receive messages, update his diary and check his bank balance. Even his four-year-old son Nicholas can use it to work out basic maths problems. Can we expect a computer like this in every home in the future? Time will tell.

[1973] Tomorrow's World - Michael Rodd reports on some exciting new developments in the art of sound recording. Using an automatic mixing desk, he explains how computers can aid sound engineers to layer and balance tracks.

With all this studio magic at his fingertips, can he make a recording superstar out of young hopeful... Michael Rodd?

[1969] Tomorrow's World - Meet Nellie, a computer set to revolutionise the classroom.

While many pupils might wish they could hand their schoolwork over to a computer, the boys of Forest Grammar School have turned a computer into schoolwork. Dubbed Nellie, the machine can be programmed to solve mathematical equations or even play music.

[1966] Tomorrow's World - Human beings, with their ridiculous "emotions" and their limited processing power, are fundamentally ill-equipped for a task as complex as finding a romantic partner. Only a mighty computer - like the Honeywell 200 - with its infallible logic and ability to cope with dozens of variables, is up to the job.
