Future Living 2025, 2025: Future Living, or simply 2025 (according to the title card) was a documentary that aired on the (Discovery) Science Channel in 2002, predicting technological advances in the year 2025. A description on an archived page on science.discovery.com provides one of the only direct proofs of its existence, being part of the "Digital Domain" anthology series:

"Future Living - Discover what life will be like in the year 2025. Advanced technology will enable the creation of iris-scanning security systems and refrigerators that reorder cartons of milk when the old ones expire. Meet the Robosapien who is more human than machine."

The video was once reuploaded to YouTube in five parts, with links being posted on sites like the TechEBlog and SgForums in 2007, but the YouTube account that had uploaded them has been terminated for several years.

On January 6, 2024, YouTube user mikusingularity (@piplupsingularity) uploaded a recording of the documentary provided by Reddit user omeglidan, rendering the full documentary as found.
