Anything seemed possible in the 1890's and thankfully we still have a record of the future that they expected. This is how people in the 1890's imagined the future.

Arthur C Clarke died in 2008, but tablets are much older than that, so he did see them... In 1989, GRiD Systems released the GRiDPad 1900, the first commercially successful tablet computer. It weighed 4.5 pounds and had a tethered pen resistive screen like the Write-top. The handwriting recognition was created by Jeff Hawkins who led the GRidPad development and later created the PalmPilot.

@jaustill237 Ай бұрын

My mom had a PalmPilot for work. She made me play on it to help her work out some of the functions.

@richard--s Ай бұрын

Yes, the Palm Pilot was a popular thing. It already was some sort of tablet. It had a fixed hand writing tab near the bottom of the front side where people could write a letter after the other on it. The companies experimented around to find the most popular style of input and display and so on. And now we mainly have one big screen on the front with finger input on an on-screen keyboard.

@melgross Ай бұрын

The Gridpad wasn’t a success though. They sold few units. One reason for its demise was Microsoft stating that they had a much better version of their own coming out soon. So people waited, and waited. It turned out that Microsoft had no such product in the works, but were worried that it would kill their own OS. It was the start of “vaporware”.

20:31 I’ve read almost every book Jules Vern wrote. They are much more in-depth than the films made about his novels would suggest. His predictions were accurate because he based them on scientific information, economics, intelligence and common sense. He wasn’t just guessing. He powered his Nautilus and moon rocket on force X for the rocket and submarine on what he called “The energy that powers the universe, which I feel was his most intelligent prediction…..nuclear energy. Vern wasn’t just a good writer he was a brilliant man with a vast knowledge from marine biology, physics and chemistry to nuclear physics. The amount of Maine biology in 20,000 Leagues Under the sea he writes about is astonishing and his understanding for the need to overcome the power of gravity to break the bonds of earth in “From the Earth to the Moon” is proof he was well educated and very intelligent. H. G. Wells wrote some highly accurate predictions as well, including the risk of nuclear war! And yet Nostradamus gets more attention and credit for his obscure hidden nonsense than Vern or Wells, neither of which hide their predictions in suggestive disguised verse or quatrains that where subject to interpretation (or more accurately) misinterpretation! Sincerely, Doc Once again, I love your channel, I was fortunate to stumble across it by chance and subscribed immediately. I recognize a good thing when I see it!

Considering it was after 11pm when the Titanic struck the iceberg, most passengers would have been in bed and therefore, injury rates would be considerably low had there been a head on collision. Indeed, the potential deaths and injuries suffered by crew and passengers wouldn't have been as great in the event of a head on collision at any time of the day or night. I was a crew member on P&O ships and we always carried out emergency/safety drills whenever we were in port. Although we had life boats, it was always stated that the safest life boat was the ship itself as it was very unlikely to sink after a collision but even if the vessel was fatally damaged, ships tend to sink slow enough for life boats to be launched and help to be summoned. In Titanics case, it was mainly due to human error and misjudgement that resulted in the great loss of life.

Well, the technology to make flying cars has been around for a while. Make a miniature helicopter and put wheels on it, and there you have it. The problem is not the technology, but the logistics: how to regulate air traffic of thousands of little helicopters flying around all over the city? Keep them out of commercial airline space? Keep them from colliding with each other or with buildings? Flying cars will never work until they can resolve issues like these.

8:15 Jules Vern also wrote his novel “From the Earth to the Moon”, yet so far none of the 19th century predictors seem interested in space travel. Perhaps his book was considered so far fetched no one considered space travel remotely realistic and hesitated to make such predictions for fear of being mocked ? 12:44 I spoke too soon, but still, only one space reference , limited to the moon. Space exploration doesn’t seem of much interest though but now that I think about it, after the 1969 moon landing we today don’t seem all that motivated to push out further which is strange since sooner or later our continuation as a species depends on it.

All of the predictions appear to be a product of western culture. Free market capitalist democracies of Christian core ideology. Am I wrong? Are there similar examples from other cultures?
