The funny thing about those old images predicting our time is that everyone is dressed like in 1890. Nobody seems to have imagined that fashion will change.
@@verynearlyinterestingthey may have been more astute then we might think at first, though remember the 20-year fashion trend rule? They may have calculated the number of times that 1800s fashion trends died then became fashionable again? Was this the rise of steampunk origin story?
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.
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.
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”.
Love this channel! Ah, those magnificent men in their flying machines!! The future was *bright* back then.. 💡🤦🏻♀️ Thanks for another very definitely interesting episode, Tez! 👏👍

5:20 Reminded me of the India Bell building that was moved in 1930. It was said that the move was accomplished with people inside and no disruption to utilities.
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!
I find it fascinating that as late as the 70's no one realised that there would be the world wide web that would change the lives of everyone on the planet.
Yes, some things came after they have been "proposed" in a prediction. It was something like "oh, I like this idea, but hey, maybe we can do it, we are not far off" - or "we have everything that's needed for that, just put it all together".
11:10 Under water trips are a thing, of course ;-) You missed to give them full credit ;-) They are just short and not deep down, but they are a thing. Divers join and feed fish while the people are in the free floating and diving sub nearby. --- Of course it's an incredible video, many many thanks!
Not just airports, there's a travelator at Bank station, and at Waterloo too. Possibly more, but those I remember!There's more about than you might think... Just not outside all that much!
Blazingly astonishing video here m8, people in the past were definitely 'optimistic' to say the least. I DID 'like' and I DID subscribe and one of the main reasons is that it would seem you actually read our comments and reply to them. Good on ya m8, good on ya. Much success to you, looking forward to seeing more videos.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Drew, that’s very nice of you. Yes I do try my best with replies, sometimes tricky to keep up on popular videos … but I try. Thanks again, Tez
Also like to add, did Jules Vern predict landing on the moon? or did Nasa when told they had to build a rocket to go to the moon,, think "we have no idea how to do that" and then used Jules Vernes book as a blue print.
Another brilliant video Tez, always makes my day when I see you have a new video up!!! I don't think they were that far off with us all living in the air, isn't it reckoned there are at least 2 million people in the air at any given time? 🤔❤
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.
Sorry...the Ladies' Home Journal was a "little known" journal? From Wiki: Ladies' Home Journal was an American magazine...first published on February 16, 1883, and *eventually became one of the leading women's magazines of the 20th century in the United States.* 😀 Of course, I don't know what the circulation numbers were in 1900 exactly, but it had been around for 7 years by that time, so it was doing something right, presumably. The "little known" remark just struck me as funny!
if volume is adjusted to the level you can be clearly heard, music is far too loud. Consider reducing background music to barely audible just setting the mood, not as the main attraction.
Freddy Mercury imagined in the future that a handheld microphone would be attached to half a mic stand that you can carry everywhere. He was way ahead of his time.
I find it interesting how so many things for the longest time were based on the aesthetic of the age. Even like 80s sci-fi movies still thought everyone would be using CRT monitors in the distant future. At some point though we shifted from sci-fi being based on the technology of the current day but more advanced to technology that is completely alien to us.
Should have included H.G. Wells (author of War of the Worlds and others). He predicted aircraft, tanks, WWII, moon landings, nuclear weapons, satellite communications, world wide web.
personal flight like jet packs and portable drones are available now, they just aren't popular yet. Houses and buildings, though not of that size, are being moved every day. Maglev technology is also here but not in mass use. Give them partial credit for the 1960s land-sea automobile popularized by LBJ. Cruise ships go somewhat close to the North Pole. Jules Verne and Morgan Robertson were genuine soothsayers.
5:03 Actually many middle Eastern countries used cloud seeding (spreading silver idodie or salt particles into the clouds) to create moisture in the air causing it to rain sooner and heavier than would've naturally occurred.
John Adams predicted the American Civil War. He said that if the issue of slavery wasn't settled right away, the nation would turn against itself within 100 years. (The war started 85 years later.)
That’s a good question. It’s not actually a microphone extension, it’s a retracted boom pole. The mic fits comfortably into the cradle which is why I like it, I’ve just got used to it that’s all. Thanks for your comment, Tez
23:00 -ish, Foch was right about the 20 years thing, wrong about wanting even more penalties on Germany, for the consequences of what was already in place greatly contributed to the rise of the next evil regime.
The works of Jules Verne and Arthur C Clarke seem like more of an influence than a prediction. I can imagine aspiring engineers having read their works and strived to turn science fiction into reality. Oh and 3:13 with the girl in front of the camera could be a prediction of Onlyfans instead of television.
Let's not forget Sci-fi writter P.K.Dick and his way of seeing virtual reality, eyescanners, moving advertisement almost everywhere and many more neat technologies that came roughly 50 years later.
I wonder how many of those things came about because once they had been envisioned people then worked to make them happen. If that is what did happen should we try to envisage a future where all creatures are happy and fullfilled?
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.
Well, I agree that the coming decades *shall* see us spending a lot more time up in the Sky, enjoying Life... 🙂 Moving pavements exist also in the stations of the newer, third line of the Metro in Minsk.😍 For example, at the transfer between it and the second line, under the Minsk Railway Station. The first successful experiment in broadcasting visual images across a distance was made back in 1894 = before not only radio, but even Cinema! - so, it surely wasn't difficult for them to imagine that afterwards... Maybe not in 2,000, but by 2,100, at every city on Mars, people ARE living under a protective dome...

Call me a dummy but I don’t think I could imagine what things will be like 100 years from now. Some of my thoughts might actually be realized in 20-50 years.
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. BTW. I just discovered your channel and find it both interesting and funny to laugh at ourselves. Times change, people don’t!
To be fair helicopters can hover in place and they are flying machines just not aeroplane in shape they were thinking too bird like not enough fish lol

@@verynearlyinteresting 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 maybe a hundred years from now somebody will come across this one and say that man right there predicted right or hopefully wrong😂😂😂😂
It's all about travel/transport - which is probably the one thing that hasn't improved for over four decades i.e. People can still fly, get a bus, train or drive.
Scary to think that we now are just as wrong as them in predicting the future in 110 years. From what I see it's both: they totally underestimate new technologies but also overestimate how normal and just as them we still are 😅
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?
The funny thing about those old images predicting our time is that everyone is dressed like in 1890. Nobody seems to have imagined that fashion will change.
It’s like it didn’t occur to them isn’t it?
Even through the 1960s apparently. Star Trek tv show figured that they'd be rockin 60s fashions 200 years in the future.

A lot of these "predictions" were inspirations for what came later. Making a prediction is easy compared to actually producing the object.

It's all about travel/transport - which is probably the one thing that hasn't improved for over four decades i.e. People can still fly, get a bus, train or drive.
And now in our times we have 'the Simpsons' predicting the future 😂
True 🤣
Is it just me or is your beard beginning to morph into your microphone windbreak. Only kidding, great vid
😆 thank you, Tez
I am rather interested , what things from mow , are going to be a thing in 100 years
if we don't all die because of global warming
We've let John Watkins down so far, but we can still remove C, X, & Q from English.
Fab.
Thanks Angelo. Tez
Well, now I think the entire U.S. space program was developed based on Jules Verne's ideas!
Is it out of the realm of possibility that the moon landing was based of the book ? And subsequently filmed in 1969
The Crooked Pub burned down!
Very interesting, no early
Thanks so much, Tez
It's not "Hailey's" Comet. 🙃
I do sort-of agree with that. But at my school that’s what they called it and we all followed suit 🤷♂️
Scary to think that we now are just as wrong as them in predicting the future in 110 years. From what I see it's both: they totally underestimate new technologies but also overestimate how normal and just as them we still are 😅
Geo engineering they can control the weather. And they have DEW direct energy weapons. They have had this stuff for long time.
1890s. No apostrophe.
Good spot - I’ve just changed it. Tez
we should have moving pavement now. instead cars
cool
You scoff at the flying machines. Maybe they are yet to come in 2100.
Antigravity machines are not common place yet, but maybe in 100 years
I wonder 🤔 if Jules Verne met a time traveler
Plot twist: he didn't predict the Moon landing; they followed his instructions! /jk
My prediction is soon tattoos will light up with tiny LEDs imbeddedin the skin.
👍👍👍
💯💯🙋🇺🇸
A cartoonist flight of fancy to sell products and publications.
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?
