Omni Magazine: The New Frontier (1987) Future of Bionics, Music, Genius, Computers and More - VHS

[@fo7271]

Thanks for posting! Been looking for this show on KZbin for 15 years. Grew up watching this in the mid to late eighties in Nigeria. I was eight or nine at the time. It was on late at night. The way Peter Ustinov introduced the show, followed by the weird intro music, made me feel uneasy. Like I was about to step into the unknown. The show was then followed by reruns of Space 1999 with Martin Landau. Feeling seriously nostalgic right now.

I as born in late 1975 and I miss Omni magazines. I see that the date on this documentary is 1987 and I am reflecting on what has happened in the 35 years since now that we are living in 2022

OMG !!! Thank you for uploading this. You just brought back my childhood memories from the 90's. It was my favorite TV show in Nigeria

I still have the copies of Omni magazine I bought as a young lad back in '79. Who'd have thought that Bob Guccione could publish both Penthouse and Omni Magazine?

He was a visionary and defender of the 1st Amendment. He didn't force his beliefs on others, but others tried to force their beliefs on him and shut him down... here we are in the Future... now everyone is under constant threat of censorship, and cancelling.

Used to watch this in black and white. Ahhh the good old days.

I’m very grateful that the video quality is very clear and that whoever uploaded it did a very professional and thorough job. I am also trying to look for educational videos that are obscure because they were on laser disk when vendors weren’t sure what was going to happen with the format. In my youth I watched other science documentary series such as what will they think of next? And later on in the 1990s are used to watch beyond 2000 from Australia. With love from Canada.

Buying as many Omni magazines as I can on eBay. They will be worth a lot soon.

[@danielmiyahara320]

Why's that?

[@alternit41]

I had nearly every Omni but my collection went missing a few years ago.

[@gynandroidhead]

Oh how I loved this show growing up.

[@fecardona]

Interesting to see that Bob Guccione produced this show. What a stark contrast!!

Eugene Volokh! Had no idea the law professor had been a noted child prodigy.

[@xianandy9518]

This is amazing

[@morestuff75]

In the segment about the dolphins I am thinking about what is good scientific method and experiment design.

Now, this Is how you make a TV show

[@speedformercy]

this has specifical significance because Peter Ustinov was a close friend of the family

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

Well... Here we both are, in the future. How did it turn out for you ?

[@dkparadise2777]

Not quite the way I expected. Except for the Internet and computer technology, life in general hasn't really changed much since the early '80s. Things that were predicted for the year 2000 haven't even happened yet.

[@SeaJay_Oceans]

@@dkparadise2777 Well, on the positive note, if you can read this, chances are you are still alive ! :-) Flying cars are still missing from the world... consider original Blade Runner was set in 2019 Los Angeles! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6DKoXx9aph2n9U No off world colonies either... maybe by 2100 ?

[@tonysaldzna2226]

What happened to amputated limp technology?

[@francisshortjr]

Still can't create geniuses

Ha, the answer to his human question is in the Bible. That which is not born of the water cannot continue to everlasting life. Besides, no circuit has dreams which apparently prove our connection to another dimension
