Tech Marches On: The prototype smart-house technology that turned the heat and lights on for you when you signaled it ahead of your arrival... from a pay phone. Amazingly, as of the mid-2010s (more than fifty years later!) this particular prediction was surprisingly accurate, with the advent of home automation. The only real difference is that it's controlled by a smartphone rather than a payphone, but the concept is otherwise the same.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

It's clear a lot of people weren't aware of the filming. A woman shoots them a Death Glare when they force their way to the front of a crowd.

Chewing the Scenery: The two... teenagers mincing about the fair, nearly bowling people over. It's clear a lot of people weren't aware of the filming. A woman shoots them a Death Glare when they force their way to the front of a crowd.

Mighty Whitey: Heavily implied by the short, as the two teens treat various ethnic persons at the Fair like dolls. Perhaps justified, as it was the World's Fair, and those people were there as live demonstrations of their cultures, including their clothing and accessories.
