    When people think of the future they seem to forget basic things like cost and practicality

    • @DenverStarkey
      @DenverStarkey 5 ปีที่แล้ว +358

      well practicality is the bigger point when it comes to the future. some smart phones are still ungodly high in price. I know quite a few people with a 600-700 dollar android phone and more than a few that have a 900+ apple phone. mean while my little 50 dollar smart phone does all I need it to do.
      that said in the 50's people were not thinking practical with their predictions. commercialism was in full control back then and companies were just dreaming of how many products they could sell us on. in reality we want less products and more features , so that a single device (smart phone, smart tv ect ect ) can provide most of those features so our homes aren't cluttered with crap products that handle individual task.

      ​@@William.Shakespeare to be fair, Star Trek has good philosophy, but when it comes to science, it's actually not that rigurous ... it's also much better in ideas than it is implemented ... usually
      I don't hate Discovery THAT much, but the spore drive is some Doctor-who level bullsh*t and the whole "ship does a 360 on the x axis and then teleports" effect for the rpore drive looks like something from Starcraft .... pretty ridiculous
      I'm an Expanse fan, myself, not necessarily because of the realism (which is, undoutably the most ever seen in space sci-fy), but because I like the idea of focusing on the solar system and eht evolution of a few distinct factions, and not the complete openness of star trek where you have a really neat one time adventure or some sort of anomaly or new species or any of that ... The Expanse feels more like a cohesive story, whereas, many will agree that you can basically watch Star Trek in whatever order, and the experience is not drastically changed
      bottom line : i like the Starfleet insignia ... i think it's a really well designed symbol, but that doesn't mean i'm a Trekkie

    During the kitchen segment you actually missed the most obvious. The appliances and even storage were hidden. Some people love the open look of cabinets where the doors are glass or aren't even there and you can see the dishes. But a lot of kitchen have even landless drawers that blend in and even appliances (dishwasher, fridge, Pantry) completely hidden and upon glances, you would have no idea where they are.
    That was predicted fairly well.

      Yeah cars are evil instruments that give people the wholly corrupting experience of freedom to travel on their own schedule and according to their own desires. This dark and dystopian liberty is further deepened by the ability to customize one's car in both practical terms such as size, model, functionality, as well as more subjective customizations which are often aesthetic in nature. But hey, at least I agree with you that some trees and green spaces are nice in a city.

Try to load a 1080p video without buffering, or ordering a taxi that costs 8 dollars and will arive in four minutes regardless of your location or time.

      Yes, the transatlantic accent and stiff style of acting that was popular up until the late 1960's makes those old videos sound funny to us. I'm sure that people 50 years from now will find the popular speech patterns of the 2010's funny as well.

      You didn't see an accurate way of how people talked back then. These videos had people talking in a certain way because they were showing something amazing, and people still use a similar style of voice today while reporting the news and some do it in sales, like those cheesy advertisements. People back then didn't use that accent unless they were doing something on TV just like how people today only use that accent on the news or in sales.

      In fairness regarding the skyscraper that was entirely accidental. The owners of the land that were planning on building a tower there refused to sell up to make way for an elevated road so planners agreed to "rent" the floors and build right through it. Increasingly now in Japan, and the rest of the world, the trend for new highways is to go underground.

      @@drakedbz Eh, with what Fallout 1 tells us is that the annihilation was not 'complete'. remnants of the US survived, along with quite a substantial amount of citizens. Even in Boston when looking over some logs in a locked down research facility. They note that there was mayhem in the streets, lootings, and fights. Clearly the atomic bombs used in the war were not nearly as potent as we might assume. I'd wager the Enclave to some extent must have been able to scower the world. from Europe to Asia they might have even fought Chinese remnants.

    I think that what happened is that people did not predict what I call micro-inventions. Computers and phones getting smaller, everyday thing becoming easier through technology, things staying pretty much the same just with modern technology. Like touchscreens, cellphones, and laptops. They instead predicted what I call macro-inventions. Sweeping changes to things like cars, education, and home assistance. Like flying or superfast cars instead of cars with built in computers and a physical robot to help at home instead of a voice activated computer.
