The documentary attempted to predict technological advances in the year 2025, showing the high-tech life of the fictional DiMarco family, combined with real-world footage of prototype technologies and interviews with scientists and engineers. ''Future Living 2025'' discussed topics such as: *Self-driving vehicles *Tele-immersion (3D video calls) and remote work *Virtual and augmented reality *Wearable computers (e.g. smart glasses) *Low-cost space transportation *Affective computing (emotion-sensing machines) *Ambient intelligence (electronics that respond to human presence) *Green buildings *Home security systems *Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles *Personalized media (music/TV) *Ultra-thin LED displays *Intellectual and creative games and toys One of the reruns was once uploaded to YouTube in five parts, with links being posted on sites like the TechEBlog<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230606041041/https://techeblog.com/video-future-living-in-2025/ Future Living in 2025 - TechEBlog] Retrieved 25 Mar '23</ref> and SgForums<ref>[https://sgforums.com/forums/8/topics/255236/ 2025 Future Living (SgForums)] Retrieved 25 Mar '23</ref> in 2007, but the YouTube account that had uploaded them had been terminated for several years.

The documentary was listed as part of the "Digital Domain" anthology series. <blockquote>"Future Living - Discover what life will be like in the year 2025.
