I love how he thought about transferring data directly to our brain but the machine still have to be cranked XD

I like how they predicted back in the late 1800's to the early 1900's that we would still be wearing the same clothes they did back then. Lol 😂

Ahh these are fabulous! All these technology predictions and in the early 1980s we still had a rented black and white telly. When we got an automatic washing machine in 1987 instead of the awful heavy twin tub my poor mum had to drag out each time to use, my mother and I sat on the kitchen floor with a cuppa and watched the clothes going zipping around inside. I can still remember how happy she was. Some technology is frivolous, some life changing. I miss her ❤️

I read a chapter in my school which was based on how the future would loook like. (The fun they had) This chapter was based on how the future school would look like. Children would have to study in their house with a robot as their teacher. They've never seen books and it's a story about two kids who somehow found a book which was very weird to them . As it was not moving as it was supposed to on a screen. And even that book was based on school so they were amazed as how everyone went to a building to study. Actually this now became reality. Like in pandemic how students through out the world studied via online classes.

It is very possible that the drawings of the sea horses being ridden in the ocean. He could have been trying to draw the Hippocampus. This was from the Greek Mythology and were described as very pretty or beautiful sea horses. I guess the best representation of the Hippocampus would be in the movie, Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. Which is a really great book series and a decent movie.

I'm disabled and after I was in my car accident I was taught a lot of features on my computer that would help me do things. I bet most people are using a mouse, I have a camera watching where I look and moving the mouse for me. I still use the mouse, but the head tracking thing is awesome!

I love my VR as a now bedridden MS sufferer I use it to see the world, visit museums and see A myriad wonderful thing that I could never otherwise see . I would wish them to consider us more in programming. As with floor level verses bed level. Distances moving forward or back etc. and to stop with everyone thinking everything needs 360 I can’t see behind me in bed and how often do people really twirl around constantly while sight seeing or playing a simple game. Keep it front focused if want to see behind me I’ll simply take the 5 to 10 minutes to expend the little energy I have twist myself like a pretzel and try not to cry as not to make vision more blurry. VR could be huge in hospitals, rehabs, and the homes of the trapped.

There are infact personal "Jet-Pack" devices being tested right now. I've seen several videos on it over this last year. So the one prediction from the 1950s was correct. Predicting "Super" or Flight abilities.

I saw an article on this and now I get to watch a video showing more of it

The lake walking with baloon idea by the futurist is kind of true with water surfing with parachute that people do.

In the future, people will be laughing when they see those VR headsets.

I once watched a Lego movie in 4D. They had it in 3D and also had bubble machines to make it feel even more realistic.

3:53 there actually is. There’s a band called Compressorhead that is made out of robots. While not an “army”, machines CAN play music.

it wasn’t bad to have an invention when knowledge just jumps into your head

Ah, I had enough of these crazy ideas myself. For example, I thought of a 3D printer when I was about 8 years old, I think. But this one would be totally environmentally friendly. It would be powered entirely by sunlight, converting the light into energy, which would be split into three individual streams, getting fed in three "printer guns" that are pointed at a "stage", with each of the printer guns being positioned at a different angle. Then you basically placed an image of what you want printed on a photocopier, scan it in, and the apparatus would convert the 2D image into a 3D file, and then the printer guns would shoot a laser-like energy beam on the stage, where all three beams would hit a single spot, printing the stuff you desire. Basically, it would turn light into energy into mass, and if needed, this could work the opposite direction as well, turning things you printed and that broke back into energy that then could be reused. Apart from how futuristic that is, considering I was just a kid that heard 3D printing is something that can be done, but had no idea how it worked (and having no clue about electronics), looking back, I'm surprised how "accurate" the young me was on how a 3D printer worked. And if anyone is still reading this and wondering, I came up with this because I wanted specific Lego figures, but couldn't afford spending money on the whole Set in which they were included. I also "invented" Anti-Gravity wrist-glove-thingies, that looked somewhat like Iron Mans palm-repulsors, with articulated "finger-antennas" to stabilize the Anti-Gravity beam, that should help people by the construction of buildings. And a robot that would project a hologram of oneself around it that could be operated remotely. That way, you could send that robot to school, and attend school from home, not missing any lessons.

As a youngster in the sixties, I also envisioned waterproof homes. You could just shut a room, turn on the water and clean the room. I'm not sure what I thought we'd do with the TV or other electric items. I guess they'd be self-contained and self-washing. I guess these were mostly dreams of a kid tired of household chores.

" back to the future: in 2015 there will be hover boards " 2015 is over where the heck are the hover boards!?

I love vintage videos of what was expected to be happening in the "future " . There was one invention that was expected to happen that I liked, it was a computer that had the dietary information of everyone in the house and it would offer food options customized to each person, then would make it. Even if you were craving something it would find something modeled to your needs that would satisfy your craving. I would love to see that happen complete with the making of the food.

9:56, actually I used to work in a hospital in Saudi Arabia that uses this method of pneumatic tube to send packaged samples and medical supplies thru since the early nineties.. Therefore this prediction is totally true

Is crazy he came up with all those crazy scenarios but didn’t think fashion would actually change.

In contrast to the VR, it will be obsolete maybe in the next 15 or 25 years. VR will be replaced by Full Dive, a virtual fully immersed world, where Matrix and Sword Art Online will be a truth from the past. Elon musk is still developing it. The device is named Neurolink/NerveGear.

I really enjoyed this thanks hun keep them comen have a good Xmas n new year x

As a person born with brain damage due to hydrocephalus, I hope that sometime in the future we will be able to transfer out minds onto some form of matrix that will allow us to escape physical disability.

I wish I could go back to the past and tell everyone what technology would be like

Weather control has been possible for decades. For instance the Soviets pumped silver iodide into the atmosphere to create rain clouds to spare them from the massive radiation clouds caused by the Chernobyl Meltdown.

I thoroughly enjoy the longer videos, or should I say episodes. Don’t get me wrong, all your videos are interesting and informative, but they have only gotten better with length.

15:24 I am from Vienna, Austria, and thrilled to recognize the interior of a (by now, rather old-fashioned) Vienna tram!

I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!

I just wanted to point out that the “Roomba” bit is inaccurate. The same company that makes Roomba (iRobot), also makes the “Braava Jet”, which is (basically) the mop version of the Roomba. Also, one of my coworkers told me the other day that he has a machine manufactured by Xiaomi that can mop and vacuum at the same time.

This is my first time woching your channel

2:20 someone had a concept of riding giant sea horses decades before the Aquaman co-creators: Paul Norris and Mort Weissinger did? ^^ Well, in the case of Pokémon, Kingdra is a version of a sea horse big enough to ride. That's the evolved form of Seadra when traded holding a Dragon Scale. That would be awesome.

“What about regular house hold chores,like..doing the dishes”*looks up from sink full of dishes with sponge in right hand*

I used IBM's "Via Voice" speech recognition back in the early 2000s. Despite training it for _hours_ it was abysmal! Especially as I was doing maths at uni... (Uni supplied it for me 🤦🏻‍♀️).

Great vid keep up the great work

I like the video. Thank you for this. I am trully, AMAZED

10:10 there were/are such tubes, but there are relatively few because, as already mentioned, they are very expensive

Your videos are eye opening and mind blowing and thank you for impacting knowledge in us

i m surprised you did not mention tube system of inter department communication still in use in a lot of western offices

Back in the 90's, I never thought of owning a beeper coz I find it silly back then lining up a phone booth telling the operator your personal messages. I told my friends someday I will have a cellphone that I can directly text and send messages to anyone and it will also have tv and radio.

7:56 i acidently screen shoot it

Simple I want people with power to not be absolute scumbags

1900: I hope we will have flying house and car in the year 2021 2019: How is life 2021 2021: meaningless

Imagine if the stuff he predicted was true. We would have flying firefighters and giagantic seahorses!

I also have to add to the methods of putting out fires via air; helicopters. Plus the video phones were once upon a time sold to homeowners back in the early 90s. Home Improvement with Tim Allen had one in use in one particular episode. In fact; one in particular AT&T released was the video phone 2500.

So back in 2016, I was implanted with something that over the period of the last few years has almost completely stopped me from having seizures. I would explain how this technology works, but that will take too much time. I’ve also heard that the same type of technology can under certain circumstances be used to treat disorders like bipolar and depression. So I predict by the year 2100 that technological implants like this will take the place of medication to treat the neurological components of mental illness. Maybe even before then.

Hey be amazed you were exactly right in old high-rises there were male tube’s to quickly send messages up and down.

I have rec room installed. Rec room or "Record room" is a game where you can play as fun characters that are based off of some madness combat characters but much taller and you can customize them like their yours not only that but you can go on an adventure with other players that can be your friends or other players and can be played not only on mobile but also VR (if you actually own VR that is) the quad-fecta of entertainment

I absolutely love retrofuturism! Steampunk in particular.

To be fair, Cote's postcards were mostly tongue-in-cheek, not actual predictions.

Hoverboards are a great idea 💡

And to answer the flying firefighters, we now are looking at using sound waves and drones to put out fires because if you can remove the accelerate from the flame then the flame has no chance to survive and will die out and it's working great in the test phases not sure when we'll see the music but it's a pretty cool concept and I like it

5:44 They have these, most just have handles for operation if wanted/needed

These are no so much predictions as the ideas themselves being posited. It’s often artists who first imagine the future. Scientists take them up and do the heavy lifting.

If I we show people in 2007 the mcu, they would go nuts on what happened in the future

You should read Fahrenheight 451, written in the 50s and predicts the future, It talks about air pods, and calls them seashells. (Its mostly about people losing personality, and books being destroyed with fire)

They made a movie back in the 80's about machines like that roomba with the knife. It was called "Chopping Mall" where shopping cost you an arm and a leg. Trailer even had a machine rolliing around the mall carrying a severed limb. I think it was an arm, but i could be wrong. It's been a few years.

I bet they never thought we'd be watching a video about how accurate/silly their predictions were

1:34 - hey, in 1899, he correctly predicted we'd have headphones today!

Residential tower blocks in the UK were first planned after WW2 the first one was completed in 1951 and was designed by Frederick Gibbard , if you visit England now you can see them for yourself they're mostly in inner city areas . Later housing blocks are considerably shorter in height but are bigger lengthwise .

22:55 (nods head) Nice rig. 3 screens... Could be larger, but good for gaming and multi-tasks. Would post online for cred.

I would definitely love to have a hover board

My prediction for the year 2100 is there will still be phone but with thanks to advances is Elon Musks technology people won’t have to physically handle their phone and will use the chip technology to do tasks including, but not limited to, making calls, and texting.

“-clucking insane.” I know I’m not the only one in love with his puns and dad jokes 🤣🤣

I showed my guinea pig your channel and 2 hours in she left, great content man!😉

Even as a kid in the 90s the thought of having live video calls seemed like science fiction. Never imagined in the near future that and legal cannabis would actually be a reality.

ToLook like the future with a lot of memes everywhere

At 4:22 i love that you used Daft Punk💘💘And 22:18

That man: i think several rooms with plants are good Italy: way far of your plan

Fun fact: marines had jetpacks for EXACTLY THOSE REASONS and infiltration missions.

My prediction is "be amazed will reach 10m subs soon "

The AT&T (Bell System) "Picturephone" was first put into actual commercial service in 1970 in Pittsburgh, PA.

8:22 Noticed you didn't point out the waterwheel unicycle, which has multiple modern equivalents: Jet skis, waterbikes, aquaskippers, ect.

Considering how the phonetic nature of texting has slaughtered the English language and effectively "un-taught" us all how to spell correctly... I'd say he wasn't too far off on the alphabet prediction.

When I was a kid I thought we’d have flying cars by now

Well a part 2 would be good

Okay I have to ask, Did you use to work for How-Its-Made? Kbuz that voice is spot on if not! lol

What it's like to be alive if those futurists predictions really happened? 🤔

20 years ago, I predicted the whole world would be wearing masks.

I love the one where you can write by sound😅it would be so much simpler!

The video call thing was so cool

I would defenintly want a portal that allows you to go to other realities

These ideas of what the world was going to be like in the 2000's sound pretty unique

This video got me cracked some of their predictions were very wild and funny

9:45 lol xqc got mention I wasn't expecting that 😂

dang, they had high expectations, and we disappointed

So let's replace road rage with sky rage...oh wait.

Merry Christmas !

The series Star Trek was done in the 60's, but it was supposed to be the 1990's where they thought space travel would be a common thing. It also brought us tablets, force fields and numerous others futuristic gadgets that is now used today. I had to wait half a century for VR...and had to make do with holographic tech and stickers from Kellogs cornflakes! The 70's were fun times for new tech advances..😊

So the fashion will never change according to him, the people in the 2000's still wears Victorian clothing. 😃

5:20 I am, and I don't like it.

The “booty call” text at 7:55 made me roll 🤣🤣🤣

technological advancements are likely to continue at a rapid pace, potentially leading to significant advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence, space exploration, and medical technology. It's also possible that society may face significant challenges related to climate change, resource scarcity, and geopolitical tensions. Thats what I think about is going to happen in the year 2124

I want the future to look like what my mom said Africa would look like if I ate my vegetables

Another awesome video❤️❤️ Am investing my time and money in crypto now , this new price is a clear sign for new investors to come in ✅✅...Yeah, That’s good idea.. A trader would be the best option if you are new to investing

I saw my first 3D movie at the former Amboy NJ drive-in they had a very large screen with I think a 75 mm projector, the movie was one of the Halloween series it scared the Crap out of me!!! This was way before 3D Tvs I own a Panasonic Plasma 3D tv and still love it !!! LCD still can't match the refresh rate of a Plasma TV!!! Mine has a 600 hz sub Field, sure 4K and QLED might have more colors and pixels per inch but since my Plasma is only 50" you won't see much of a difference with a 4K 50" unless your sitting 2' from the screen. The morale of the story is 3D has been around a lot longer than 2010, I even have a 24" PC monitor that's 3D and has the Nvidia chip to control the refresh rate, unfortunately I have to roll back the driver because the 3D function was stripped my Nvidia in the driver if I want to play a 3D game or watch a 3D movie on BR, they still sell 3D BR movies? So people still want them.???

I like your videos 😊❤🎉

8:09 Said Jesus, before walking on water.

I predict we’ll be able to travel faster than the speed of light.

Maayyyybeee, it's a good thing Cybermen never came to be given that, well, iykyk... Also. LOVE the Doctor shout outs in almost every video. I've started looking for them now. :p

A theatre near me has a movie format called 4DX. It has a 3d screen, moving seats, and artificial wind and rain.
