It's cool, but I don't see the future designed with today's idea of futuristic design.

The real question is: What's up with the load time when starting up the movie... should be instant

The real question is: don't they have technology to have an actual projection screen?! 
It rules out the whole movie but....

#4 Technologies are great, but humans are still a bunch of apes. That's what modern era is... Not sure if that's what authors meant, thought.
#5 Don't you worry! Not much - just a few thousands lives of unimportant people who didn't fit in the "United Earth".

I think it's trying to say that however far we advance technology and travel in the future, the classics will always remain classics. People will always find Charlie Chaplin funny.
Also, the book he's reading is Jerome Agel's 1970 book about the making of the original 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

#2 You almost get it, but close enough.
#12 You're the only one that got the video's message.
For the rest of you, the lack of imagination and perspective, I find it disturbing.

Why do people have to be so sceptical about these future videos.
I mean these are all just fantasy, who cares if this is not what the future is going to be?
Just enjoy the video, enjoy your life that you have stop hating!
