@@ty-re9or some countries especially in Asia don't provide better public transport like in US and Europe that it not so safe and so many pickpocket in public transport. that's why private vehicle is more safe
That would never happen, who would be so crazy as to wear them.And besides, no decent place of entertainment would allow it. I hope parents in the future would have the judgment to teach their children to dress properly and according to the rules of civilized society.
1918 was the Spanish Flue, by 1920 they had learned hand washing & handkerchiefs, passed to their children till the 1980s when the kids learned to ignore their parents
But the internet and smart phones are far more ground breaking and revolutionary than flying cars. I guess no one had imagined that. Since the industrial revolution predicting the future has become very hard we don't know what in the world next consumers will buy and so that the technology will go in that way
And here we are in 2020s, it is weird to imagine that 100 years have passed. Watching this feels like a time machine because you hear a voice of a man in the 1920s explaining something to you while you listen to him from 2020s.
2:38 I'm fairly sure that is the Burj Khalifa silhouette😀. Really fascinating video and very accurate in parts, such imaginative and intelligent people, we have a lot to thank them for.
@Banned Fortimes You can say that again, Banned Fortimes! Personally, being someone who was born in the mid-1950s -- I turned 64 in February of this year -- I see and hear things on an almost daily basis, which remind me of how annoying any sort of "robotic" things can be. Anything from ATM machines to pre-recorded phone messages or cashiers at a store. (And when it comes to calling a doctor's office or a hospital, people are FORCED to endure the very boring and monotonous rigmaroll.) I pray that I 'll live to see the day when all robots are... that's right. The day when they are banned!
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.
All the films of various eras predicting the future are always so optimistic. Humans have a forever desire for things to 'get better' or 'be better'. Sometimes they are and sometimes they are more horrific than anyone in the past could imagine.
Is because it's the work of the Ying and yang...when there's good there's shall be evil.. when's there's light..there shall allways be shadow...and is not like we are to be punished for our actions...is what order dictated
Yes we could go back and tell them, "You know that whole Spanish Flu pandemic you just went through? We have another one in 2020 just as bad." Which now makes one wonder what 2120 will look like.
covid was not the first one that surprised us, ww2, the cold war, all that bullshit just been fucking us up over and over again and we will never learn a damn thing
The internet is far more practical and easier to use. If driving an automobile now is too daunting and impractical for billions of people it would be impossible to expect the masses to successfully pilot a flying car.
Few things to learn maybe, if we wanted to predict 2120: Its damn hard to try to foresee the future Buts it’s a pretty good thing to do, and nice to record it for the ones who comes to live in that time People now would probably have more pessimistic views on 2120 than 1920 people had on 2020 But the view like in 1978 was often that mankind would have disappeared 2000 in a nuclear war You never know. Well, I predict most stuff thats annoying now will be annoying 2120. But hopefully fewer will be poor. And that there will be a lot of contraptions around that we even couldn’t dream of. An IPAD would probably have been seen as pretty cool by the 1920ers. As a Radio would have been seen as cool by the 1820’ers.
I have a terrific book about future predictions, from the 18th & 19th century mainly. Very few got even close. Big surprise was from H.G.Wells, in 1909. He predicted that all wars by 1950, would be fought in the air---FROM AIR BALLOONS. YET, the Wright Bros had flown heavier than air motorised Planes in 1903, AND, frenchman Louis Bleriot had flown the English Channel, that very year ????
It looks like a cyberpunk city. Definitely seems to be the inspiration of Blade Runner with all of those gigantic neon signs, enormous buildings, highways on top of highways so high into the air. Only difference is the cars aren’t flying.
i love how extremely optimistic the 1920s are but when we *finally* reached the future (2020, a year ago), everything is now a depressing totalitarian dictatorship with corporate characteristics and a fine mix of technocracy 😂
@@290198Nicholas It's not because climate change, it's mainly because economical inequality, which affects our lives far more than climate change (which is also bad of course, but we can't stop climate change when capitalism is world's system.)
@@astrocatsoft economical inequality are happened more than centuries ago that same in past, present and future, but idk in future are inequality gap become wide?
@@290198Nicholas Yes, economical inequality existed since slavery times. But in last years this gap is really becoming much bigger. For example, in Russia 1% of people owns 56% of wealth... Obviously, it's very unfair and wrong.
I'd love to keep watching but I have an appointment at the pleasure dome and my Turboglide 2000 has to go in the shop for new metapolar refractive pilfrometers.
@@kevinaguilar7541 we had many upon many safety measures to make sure our citizens were safe if threat of nuclear attack ever become a sprawling truth. There have been advertisments for nuclear bunkers since 1951.
Well they got part of the fashion statement right of wearing less.. If only they could see exactly HOW much less! And I don't know about planes storing all that extra stuff but some boats/cruise ships certainly do...
They also got airco and central heating predicted. Pretty cool. And I actually have dresses that look similar to the breezy dress in this video. They really did a great job
نحن متأخرين بعقد او عقدين من الزمن جراء الحروب والأوبئة لأن أجدادنا تكهنو ان تكون السيارات تطير في زماننا غير أنها ليس كذلك حد اللحظة وهي قيد الدراسة والتجريب
You know these would’ve been some insane and cool ideas for our future. But since WW2 and the Great Depression came around, it was like many dreams screeching to a halt. Would’ve been good though.
This last narrator makes me sad. No one on earth still speaks English so beautifully.( Eim naught heppe enne mohw! Or I'm not happy anymore.) At least we have the wax cylinders as a record. English was the only real victim of the rise of the common man.
1920s: this is the standards of 2000s Also 2000s: a sk8er boi just doin' things. So sweet, they thought in 2000s to now we built more Car Infrastructure, the future? B I K E S and trains. Something than NOBODY would predict is the Internet itself. And yet some things they actually got on point.
Yes, it was silly. Especially the transatlantic plane with passengers in the wings. I wonder where they planned to store fuel.That aside at least they had hope for the future.
I cant remember the prototype name but this plane actually was designed but as I remember they never finished the prototype because of the huge fuel consumption it would have needed. That would make it super expensive to run and thus economically it made no sense. It can be built though.
@@jurgenkoks9142 Are you referring to Howard Hughes' "Spruce Goose?" Hughes flew it during a taxi test. It rose off of the water and flew a short distance. It was proof of concept, but it never flew again.
