20 Innovative Tech Products From The 1970s That FAILED Completely, Revision

20 Innovative Tech Products From The 1970s That FAILED Completely, Revision The 1970s was the decade tech got ambitious. Videophones. Home movie systems. Four-speaker surround sound. Machines built to change everything, decades before their time. Every single company thought they had the answer. They were wrong. In this video: 20 innovations that saw the future clearly and still lost everything. The AT&T Picturephone, promising FaceTime 30 years early. Sony's Betamax, beaten by a format with worse picture and a longer tape. A Polaroid camera that lost $68 MILLION and ended Edwin Land's career. A handheld console that fried itself with static electricity, then inspired the Game Boy. One company scrapped over a MILLION unsold consoles in a single year. These weren't failures of imagination. They were failures of timing. Subscribe. This list is far from over. 🕰️ CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:36 - The AT&T Picturephone 02:04 - The Ampex Instavideo 03:13 - The Cartvision 04:54 - The Magnavox Odyssey 06:28 - Quadraphonic Sound 08:18 - The Sony U-Matic 09:35 - The Fairchild Channel F 10:49 - The RCA Studio II 12:06 - The Bally Astrocade 13:26 - The CB Radio 14:58 - The 8-Track Tape 16:36 - Sony Betamax 18:28 - The Philips VCT Format 19:47 - The Magnavision LaserDisc 21:28 - The Polaroid Polavision 23:19 - The Mattel Electronics Football 25:00 - The Coleco Telstar 26:38 - The Milton Bradley Microvision 28:45 - The Magnavox Odyssey 2 30:16 - The RCA Selectavision Copyright Disclaimer This video features discussions on unverified information and speculative viewpoints sourced from the internet and various news outlets.
