Past Predictions of the Future Every Decade
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2020
- No one predicted that 2020 would turn out how it did. Wrong or right, speculating the future seems to be one of humanity's greatest pastimes. This video explores predictions of the future throughout the 20th century. From winged gliders, to flying cars and all the way up to space travel. Inevitably, this video isn't a comprehensive account of EVERY prediction ever made. But I hope to have sampled some predictions/speculations and visions over the years that have come to be representative of whichever decade that they emerged in. Oh, and in case you're wondering, I haven't included predictions in the 30s and 40s. Lots of reasons (time/repetitive/WW2), but may return to them in a dedicated future vid.
Quick note: my apologies for the few audio pops in the video. I held the microphone in the wrong positions and only realised in post. Always learning. Let me know what I can do to improve in my videos, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Finally, I'm astounded by the amount of traction my channel has gotten recently. Especially my angels vid which is currently hitting 250k views! Thank you all who have subscribed and liked my content, I'm excited to be on this journey with you all.

Can you imagine in the future people might still be on youtube and your watching an old video and you see comments says 100 years ago
Damn this comment made me feel old
That's... scary.
Hello people from 2050
Yo dudes the old times were pretty chill maybe if you have a time machine or somethin-
@@ITSMYSTERYPLAYS69 fr though lol
One of things I've noticed about previous predictions of the future is that they expected culture to stay the same.
Seems legit.
Yes that does seem to be the case. People spend so long focusing on predicting technology, but I wonder what a prediction of future culture would be like? In the near term I think the current rapid liberalisation of pretty much everything, mixed with reactionary resurgence, will continue. After that I don't really know. It will be interesting at least, hopefully I live long enough to see it.
That's true. There are people who have thought about this though. The New York Times did a series of imaginary editorials from the future that dealt with politics, language, and culture.
@@TheJoemm Interesting.
@Rragg Ddoll Nah
My grandma has a book where someone in the early 1900's draw a picture of a dogfight in the year 2000. The dogfight was also fought with airships.
That kinda reminds me of the Trails series.
I remember always seeing old predictions like this and noticing how much they overestimated humanity. I don't think much crazy stuff will happen in the next 50 years or so. I imagine it to be like today but just, *more* of it if that makes sense. Taller skyscrapers, more crowded citys, faster PCs with prettier rainbow lights, less resources, higher temperatures with stuffier air, more expensive everything.
Isn't your faster PCs assumption just another over estimate? Are you just predicting that because we live in a time where that seems obvious?
Really, a ton has changed, we have invented so much, it's crazy. We have sent people to the moon, harnessed the oceans to make electricity, all the vehicles they show we made far more advanced and far bigger versions of, like the dinky little cloth winged airplanes they thought we would have? Nope, massive supersonic jets and huge commerical airliners, and soooo much more, heck, they *under* estimated us.
I feel like Ur living under a rock, I think alot of crazy advancements will be made as they have for the past 100 years, I mean we went from flying a glider to landing on the moon within 60 years, right now AI technology is evolving rapidly and will change the way we live in the coming future, who knows what other technology humans will conjure up in the next 50 years
OK... I've got a few more interesting ones for you, based on things already happening.
1. Virtually unlimited, clean electricity though deep geothermal.
2. Literally making fuel such as gasoline and Diesel out of thin air (CO2 and water vapor). That would also make it carbon neutral.
3. Making meats in a fashion something like we now make cheese and beer. The basic meat is grown in vats and then 3d printed.
4. Large scale, custom manufacturing using additive manufacturing. (3d printing). Anything from plastic bits to whole buildings. You want a new water pump for your 32 Packard? (Or the parts for a whole new 32 Packard), get it printed.
@@JeffDeWitt That actually makes a lot of sense! I never thought of that. Also back when I wrote this comment I didn't realize how fast AI was evolving. I'm pretty sure ai will change the future a lot too.
Imagine being born in 1900. First ever flight when your are a toddler, passenger planes when you're a teen, massive world war, then metal airplanes and fast cars, then another world war, then nuclear weapons, jet engines, supersonic travel, rockets, and men landing on the moon by the time you're 70.

I don't have to imagine too hard, or else you could say I'm always imagining that scenario: my grandfather was born in 1901. I often find myself placing semi-recent historical events in the framework of his lifetime. I can place more recent notable events within the span of my own: I already broke the half-century mark a while back. Let's just say the first moon landing happened in my lifetime, but not the spaceflight of Yuri Gagarin. I remember precisely where I was when the Challenger disaster occurred.
Plenty of historical events have occurred in the lifetime of other folks in this thread, of course, and they'll see many more after I'm dead... assuming we don't manage to do ourselves in first, that is. I can only hope those events will be as transformative & amazing.

Imo, flying things are silly. It takes a lot of specialization to pull a pilot off, so generally speaking, flying drunks with plummeting high-powered, battery-powered flying devices are a problem, and so is terraforming any place with gravity that’s different from the gravity of the place where humans evolved for many, many weeks. You also need a magnetosphere to shield wacky radiation and good luck pumping many, many ounces of CO2 to the atmosphere and SOMEHOW resurrecting geothermal activity, given we can’t even dig down more than, like, 14 km and sheet. Let’s also vacuum-cleaner up all the toxic ultra-thin particles covering the entire celestial bodies whereto traveling takes many, many seconds. Let’s focus on terraforming montana or smth sheet...

Unless society and technology stagnate due to some means either internal or external, predictions are unlikely to be accurate except in a few particularly luck or far-sighted cases.
I LOVE content like this and, while I'm late to this by 2 years, I want to say that I am so so glad I found this. This entire theme, and technology themes like it, are ones that I think of often. I was actually looking for this about a month back, in today's time, and surprisingly no one showed up that had a video I agreed with. But maybe today I worded it correctly. Anyway.
Thank you sir, the man behind hochelega, for making such a profound yet exciting video. By the by, unrelated, you do have quite a good speaking voice.
Right then. I wish you the best!
8:18 for people who don’t understand Fahrenheit vs celsius, there is a formula that you have to use to convert, you can’t say that x celsius is x farenheit, like in inches vs cm, etc. While 3 celsius is equivalent to 37 Fahrenheit, you can’t apply that to an increase in temperature. For instance, 70 farenheit is 21 celsius, but 24 celsius is 75 farenheit, not 107. 10 c is 50 f, while 13 c is 55 f, etc. Meaning the number below celsius should be 5 farenheit.

It's so fascinating that these past generations thought we would have fancy things like miniature suns and commercial space bases that we don't actually have today, but none of them predicted the internet. That was a total wild card in the sense of development, which has wildly altered the course of human history. Just think of all of the societal changes that have happened in the last 20-30 years from the start of the internet to now, and what humanity will look like in another 20-30 years as a result of it
Love your channel and loving your podcast!
One of the most prescient books I’ve ever read was “The Machine Stops” by E. M. Forster, published in 1909. Given the first flight was 6 years earlier, he envisioned a world in which passenger planes were already obsolete, and people lived in hive-like structures and communicated using a device that sounds very much like an iPad. It’s a short read and very worthwhile when looking at predictions of the future.
thanks for the recommendation, sounds good

Well tbf in the very early 1900s fashion hadn’t changed that much from the previous few centuries, why would they expect the next century to be any different?
@@killerkitten7534 actually, fashion had changed a lot. We usally look superficially at fashion thinking that it really started to change only after 1900, but in reality you can totally compare the changes of 1900-2000 fashion with, perhaps, 1700-1800. It's just that we overlook them and assume they dressed the same for centuries... Wich is just wrong.

@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle a straight line from a to b is always going to be the shortest way to travel (that is if we don't discover teleportation) so it is very practical if everyone can fly or live in the air it would mean having more space for yourself and less time wasted in traveling through traffics. The only reason why we aren't all flying is because of energy as it is still very costly to be airborne with the amount of energy we are generating today, same goes for the future in space and other things. It's always been a problem of resource holding back our progress
@@dandyND I agree that the fastest path is the way the crow flies, but life isn't only travel. We would need to create infrastructure to grow billions of pounds of food in the air, and connect water sources to our buildings (again, stationed in the air) -- it makes no practical sense. You're only displacing the space problem to higher altitude, when on the ground, we have just that -- ground to grow food, lay water transport pipes and electric cables, dispose of waste (not an ideal place for it, but that will again be a huge problem in airborne life as well), etc.
@@IDontWantThisStupidHandle yes, that is why predictions are most of the time wrong, because we have more problem to take care of than just the new trending technology. It's like we all used to dream of big things as kids but as we grow up, we have so many things to take account of that we have to set aside what our dreamed future was. Maybe if we have a super computer that could consider all aspect in life, it could accurately predict what the future would look like

This video made me reconsider the fact that we went from inventing a simple flying machine, to land on the moon in under 70 years. Humanity did some serious speedrunning
Imagine someone watching the first airplane flight and someons speculating that now that we can fly, we will probably fly to the moon within our lifetime.
People would think he was crazy.
Add to this we didn't go further only because the public didn't see the purpose of funding more, and NASA's budget was cut 3 times after the last Apollo. By that time NASA had figured nuclear rocket engines and wanted to put nuclear tows on the orbit to be used for frequent travels to the Moon to build spacecrafts for interplanetary travel there.
In early 70s top engineers in NASA believed they would put people on Mars by 1980s. By now NASA only comes back to these old technologies. To put men on Mars and get them back quickly enough before they would get too ill from space radiation, a nuclear rocket engine is the only thing that can provide the necessary speed of travel.
Building this spacecraft on the Moon is then necessary for both safety purposes as launching an assembled with active fuel straight from Earth would be too risky, and to shield astronauts from it's radiation the spacecraft need to be too big and heavy to be launched from Earth. So we need to build a lunar spacecraft and nuclear reactor factory on Moon first, and then launch the interplanetary spacecraft from there.
Then the focus shifted towards little thing called Internet
@@piotrmalewski8178 And we could use the caves of the Moon for these bases since they provide natural protection from the Sun's radiation.

1900's future predictions: *Jetsons*
2000's future predictions: *Fallout*
This is all these comments in a way that makes sense.
Ironic
If it doesn’t happen and global warming is wrong or something people in 2123 will look at us and laugh at our stupidity. “Look at those people 100 years ago, thinking that they were going to die in 50 years”. Interesting to think about.
There were plenty of doomsday and dystopian predictions throughout the 1900s. WW1 was often called the War to End All Wars. Soviet nations made an onslaught of post apocalypse fiction. This video is incredibly cherry picked.
Clothes in predictions: still looks the same after a century
Clothes in real 2000: C A R G O P A N T S
Not the same. There had been a reformist movement at the time that wanted women to be allowed to wear underwear, and cotton underdresses instead of whale-bone corsets.
It was quite predictable that the reformists would succeed eventually.

As someone from 2047, I can say that everything is pretty much the same, except that President Kardashian has just made being ugly illegal, so start your skin care regiment now.
This is kind of similar to a book series I read in high school called Uglies. I think for their 15th birthday they had to decide whether they were going to get the Pretty procedure (which made them into an aesthetically perfect version of themselves) and go on to live in the futuristic high-society, or stay as an Ugly and go off to live in what is essentially a Ghetto

I just bought an oculus (meta) quest 2 vr headset last week. I showed it to my grandad today, and he was blown away. I set my home to a space-station. As soon as he put the headset on he was looking around and noticed the view of earth outside the window, and he was in awe. I put him on a game that uses hand tracking and he was so confused at first but then was solving puzzles like a pro! I showed him that the guardian boundary protects him from going out of the zone. He was lost for words and loved it. I gave him the controllers and put him on table tennis and mini golf, he loved it and said it’s amazing how far technology has come. And surprising he got the hang of it all pretty quickly!
Sometimes I like to daydream about people from the past coming to the present and seeing them be horrified or amazed by the future.
Me too
@@noah-rt7rq Yes, or going back in time and trying to describe the future to people there. You'd have your work cut out for you, I think..
It’s different for every generation
I did that too
Probably a mix of horror and amazement at both the technological and societal changes
predictions of the future from the past : optimistic and hopeful. usually read out by a calm, happy narrator
predictions of the future from around this time : *dystopian cyberpunk synthwave intensifies*
In other words, predictions from the past were less retarded.
I feel like nowadays predictions are rather realistic than imaginitive
Probably because we're more depressed/disillusioned now and are therefore coming up with darker stuff. :P
You still see the “Optimistic” actually these days, mainly as a quasi ads for things.

Great video! Quick point: at 8:18 you convert 3C to 37.4F which isn't really accurate. Relative to zero degrees Celsius (or 32 Fahrenheit), that'd be an increase of 5.4 degrees F.

You ment Apocalypse?
Pretty predictable. If people like the guy above me reproduced, the future will peaceful and relaxing since pretty much everybody with -70 IQ won't survive for long. Probably even kill themselves in some dumb accident. Humans will be extinct either way. From smartest to dumbest animal on the planet.
It also shows that human expectation is a bit too high due to the progress of technologies at the time.

@Odinson Warrior you commented under the wrong comment mate
Humans like to predict stuff that happens in the future. That's why most of sci-fi exists.
"Technology progresses fast, but not as fast as human ambition"
For example, how many times have you seen faster than light travel in a sci-fi thing? Countless times. How many times have you seen faster than light travel in real life? Zero. That's what the comment meant
Technology progresses as fast as humans decide it. We're just taking too long to do anything impressive because we don't have the need to.
We just need the right "human" to progress us to the future. and that person might not even been born yet or is in some 3rd world corrupt country ruining his or her potential
It's cool to see their predictions based on the kind of technologies they have.

Interesting vid.
I was a little comfused as to why you focused on the Jetsons when the 60"s also brought us 2001 A Space Odysssy, a film that was never even mentioned in this piece.
The running theme is: People slowly got less and less optimistic about our future.
Yeah a multi-decade threat of a nuclear war kinda does that to people.
I'm not sure I'd say that there's less optimism...
"Duck and Cover" wasn't optimistic.
The Day After wasn't optimistic.
The Terminator wasn't optimistic.
But, we went from optimism about flying 30 feet off the ground in personal transportation to optimism about living among the stars with a bunch of other people.
people before year 2000: "oh yeah we all gonna live a futuristic luxury life! we will use the nuclear power and we will harvest and conquer the solar system!!"
people after 2000: "don't you see the data!?? don't you see what we have done to this fucking planet? don't you see the effect?? this world is fucked, we all gonna die in a nuclear war or by polution and global warming!!!"
@@kakyoindonut3213 🙄 Umm, sorry man. You're dead wrong.

Also, if you hadn't paid attention in Grade School... the earth goes through these periods... ice ages and tropical climes.

@@davidsloat1016 before 2000s, not after world war 2, so 1900 optimism were included, and idk why you bring up ice age, it's not like it will happen again.
"Humanity isn't doing anything that the earth hasn't done before we came along."
tf does this mean, humans don't do stuff that the earth hasn't do before we came??
tbh I can't seem to find what your point is and what you're trying to disprove about my comment.
Thanks for the video
The guy taking wine while flying a plane shows how different things used to be. I'm glad we live in a time where knowledge is so readily available
One thing is for sure: our dumbass predictions of the future will have the most photo-realistic sheen to them in history.
The future will be full of killer computers that can murder anyone and go Yandere simply because of more powerful glitches and computer viruses.
our future is either bleak or prosperous. either fallout and hunger games or a utopia like many richer planets in star wars

You kind of glossed over the other part of Metropolis, the part where the working class lives underground and is reduced to replaceable drones, while the rich spend their time in exorbitant luxury. A look over the pond might have been cool too, looking how Soviet Science-Fiction developed at the time and what themes they put importance on.
I'm nearly 54 years old. I've been reading articles about future technological developments since I was a little kid, and the predictions are ALWAYS...and I mean ALWAYS...overly optimistic.

The geopolitics will probably change in 100 years, that’s all I can predict
I predict the USA will remain the largest military and economic power (when combined with its allies) until atleast 2100. China will probably eventually rival it as a second superpower, since China was historically the most powerful country in the World.
I predict it will change yet stay the same pile of conflicting interests and ego that politics has always been.

I've also noticed that the skyscraper city as imagined by the Europeans and Americans in the 1920s (like Fritz Lang, or Le Corbusier) never really took hold in Europe outside of some relatively isolated examples, or at least not to the same extent as other regions. The Anglosphere did, to varying extents, but they're mostly overshadowed by Asian and Middle Eastern cities.

Well, millennials and especially gen Z kids have it a lot harder than older generations in many new ways that you probably haven't considered. The world is going through a technological and informational revolution more drastic than anything in the past few thousand years thanks to the internet, and it's causing a lot of new and unique problems -problems that do not have the benefit of hundreds of years of trial and error to find their solutions like all other human problems we've dealt with- to sprout up for them on top of all the problems of regular life and the doomed world heaped onto them by the admittedly short sighted decisions our past generations.
@@rpkelly3825 it's kind of like being born when a meteor was about to hit, but too late to do anything about it. And even if they weren't given to despair from that, they're pioneering the digitally revolutionized world with no guide which is causing the worst mental health crisis in modern history simultaneously, and if that wasn't enough, even if they were still hopeful and willing to try to stop said meteor despite everything, their parents and grandparents won't get out of the way to let them try.
@@rpkelly3825 Yes, the invention of the internet and its effect on culture and socialization for those who are actually familiar with it (that is to say only millennials and gen Z kids truly) is more drastic a change and societal/technological revolution than anything you mentioned, it's almost on par with the invention of math or writing, or the invention of tools. I know that's hard to grasp but it's true and clear if you look at the grand scale. It's literally the beginning of a sort of unified world/hivemind intelligence for all humanity, it's kind of insane. Technology advances on a J curve, so the advancements become more and more drastic as time goes on, exponentially.
@@rpkelly3825 Perhaps you should reread my comment and pay attention so you know what I'm actually saying before you reply and rage at me. I never said they were revolutionary, I just said they're growing up during an inordinately revolutionary period, and are pioneering the culture of said digital revolution, even if they didn't set it off themselves. Then again, most every device made today that anyone uses presently was made by either millennials or gen z kids in sweatshops.
