Technologies change the conveyance of human beings, that's the main changes, but the reality is we're just the same humans, many little details change but not us, we get wrapped up in imagining a fantastical future, when actually we don't change.
We’re just the same humans? Goodness gracious 😂 That is so distanced from the truth. Back then, the suicide rate was nowhere near what it is like today. Mental health, homosexuality, etc. were non-existent to the masses’ knowledge. People were mentally significantly healthier. People had stronger morals, they valued communities and they valued families. Very different on so many counts!
It's really hard to predict the future because history is multifactorial and not linear. For example in 1920 people imagined for 2020 rocket trains, but they couldn't imagine that trains would be replaced by the car. Or they would imagine housewives having robot assistants but they couldn't imagine emancipation or that even the term housewife would become obsolete. Basically, people exclude from future predictions things that oppose their current progress or values. Now we imagine for 2120 a fully democratic united digital world, because we don't want to admit that our tendency for centralisation and digitalisation can lead to a global dictatorship. Or we won't predict a world devastated by sin and crime, because we don't want to admit that abandoning religion and family values can lead to decadence. The most difficult part about future predictions is looking into the present without superstition
Jesus is God in the flesh. We are all sinners, so we deserve the punishment for sin, which is the wrath of God. However, Jesus loves sinners, even though they sinned against Him. Jesus suffered the punishment for sin so that sinners do not have to. He did this by suffering and dying on a cross. He rose again from the dead on the third day. Any sinner who fully trusts Jesus to save him or her is saved. That sinner has all of his or her sins forgiven. That sinner will never lose his or her salvation. That sinner will not go to hell. That sinner has eternal life.............
To be fair though, the city prediction was pretty accurate - a tad exaggerated: the buildings a bit too tall, the flyovers a bit too high - but our cities today are abundant with tall buildings, urban sprawl and far too many cars.
1920s, we shall have beautiful dresses and traditional wear and technology that makes our bodies adapt to the weather 2020: pants sagging tight jeans and wacky hair with shaved sides of our head and peoples asses hanging out
Feel really bad that a man from 102 years ago thought that in the future the world will be so advanced but all we had gotten good at is being crack heads
