'future shock' doc narrated by orson wellesfrom youtube: 1972 documentary based on the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler. Narrated by Orson Welles. Future Shock... is a sickness that comes from too much change in too short a time... it's the feeling that nothing is permanent anymore. It's the reaction to changes that happen so fast that we cannot absorb them - it's the premature arrival of the future. For those who are unprepared, its effects can be pretty devastating.
