According to Disney, the shape of things to come can be found at Pottery Barn, with a quick stop in Restoration Hardware for “classic future” touches and a trip to Target to get throw rugs and cheap Japanese paper lanterns.P J O´Rourke visits the Innoventions Dream Home and finds the future is beige. To compare and contast, here is the 1957 House of the Future, while here is the Innoventions Dream Home, in a piece that seems to have been written by a machine.

I have so many thoughts about this ...
Am I the only one who thinks HoF 1 needs some indoor-outdoor flow? A plastic deck, perhaps?

Indeed. It's like a machine translation -- someone cleverer than me might be able to deduce the original language.
But you have missed the best part by failing to boldly click forward just one more link:

There we find this:
"Partners in crime, Microsoft, HP, Lifeware and architect Taylor Morrison attempt to show people how a digitalized environment can enhance many aspects of a daily family. The guest will be able to interact with the fictional resident family Elias, who are as excited to welcome the guests and move about room-to-room demonstrating the technologies used in the house."
And then there is the most extraordinary photograph. It appears that the Innoventions Dream Home will assist your teenage son into a lifetime of cross-dressing.
