  • With the current acceleration of innovation making what was unthinkable just a few years ago possible, it's a little easier to imagine what the future may hold than ever before. But in the past this was a great deal harder. Today we look at the visionaries that saw our modern life.

    • @JoshuaPagan
      @JoshuaPagan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      I mean... the science and engineering community understood the value of his contributions. And he was my favorite inventor when I was 5 back in 1998 because of how wacky his inventions and legacy was... I think its high-time we let go of the notion that he's under-appreciated at all today or that he's just now blossoming into societies collective consciousness. Anyone within shit-tossing range of Pop-Science knows who he is to some degree. He got screwed over by a marketer and innovator. So were many people who've paved the way to today and remain nameless in history. The best way to honor his legacy is doing something yourself and taking advantage of the tools given to you to do so.

      Especially anything and everything in the iOS family...
      And besides that, the Tesla Tower would produce high voltages, but low currents. If florence light bulbs could hold up to the current being produced so could any of our electronics today..
      And besides the besides that, your phones, iPads, and all other electronics would have been designed around the idea of how a Tesla Tower would work.

      Lol, take this video for instance. Some of these people I have never heard of. I'm still waiting for AI schooling, imagine getting custom courses designed to focus on subjects you specifically struggle in, and that further your understanding in the subjects you have a firm grasp of, with evan the ability to choose courses in things you are interested in, everything from foreign languages to computer engineering to aerodynamic. That is the schooling I want, although I'm thinking it should be for college courses first, it may slowly trickle its way to a high school class or two until eventually it is capable and trusted enough for full replacement or integration.

But not because he invented the internet and cellphone according to you, but because he revolutionized AC electricity infrastructure. In your ignorance you are doing a great disservice to Martin Cooper and Tim Berners-Lee.

    Having been born in 1961 and experiencing the 70s & 80s as a young man. I would say any of these predictions would be amazing at the very least. You know, Nostradamas made some predictions too. Although they were left to alot of interpretation. Which led to multiple conclusions. The men in this story were more defined in theirs and thus, more accurate.

    Mr. Tesla had such wonderful insights into the future. He is still a mystery to many people. He could see images of engines and run simulations in his head. It's a cliche that genius is close to madness. His behavior was erratic and most people probably just assumed the latter part of the cliche, methinks. Maybe some of his claims still need to be examined for hints.

      I don't think science fiction writers predict the future. They inspire it. If you look at most modern day revolutionary inventors they credit science fiction they read as a kid as inspiration. In fact all you have to do is look at the names of a lot of modern inventions to see this.
      It is frighteningly accurate because their ideas inspired the future, not predicted it.

In the 60's there wasn't that many women who went out to work to earn there own money as the husband would provide for his family. Today is different in that many women go out to work in many a variety of jobs from menial tasks to scientists, doctors etc.

    There was an essay published in 1968 called "The Computer as a Communication Device." It was created by leaders in computer science and basically outlined the framework of the internet and how it would be used. Here are some quotes from the essay:
    "We believe that we are entering a technological age in which we will be able to interact with the richness of living information-not merely in the passive way that we have become accustomed to using books and libraries, but as active participants in an ongoing process, bringing something to it through our interaction with it, and not simply receiving something from it by our connection to it."
    "We want to emphasize something beyond its one-way transfer: the increasing significance of the jointly constructive, the mutually reinforcing aspect of communication-the part that transcends 'now we both know a fact that only one of us knew before.' When minds interact, new ideas emerge. We want to talk about the creative aspect of communication."
    "What will online interactive communities be like? In most fields they will consist of geographically separated members, sometimes grouped in small clusters and sometimes working individually. They will be communities not of common location, but of common interest."

    As usual, I'm fascinated by another one of your excellent post. It's amazing what the mind is capable of, if given the ideal challenges and conducive environments. It seems that all it took for for these great visionaries, or futurists, was the mental will to project ideas in their heads, to see the needs and fulfillment of things that would make life better and the mechanics, the nuts and bolts that would give birth, if you will, to their visions. It also took those, who'd dare follow up on them, to make it happen, fulfilling their fantasies. The world is a better place because of them, that's no doubt. I think it's great, but I'm wondering why there seems to be no comparable knowledge or fanfare for the further development and refinement of the mind, with focus on the human brain, after all, *it* is the inspiration and work-shop of those fantasies that makes any invention possible. In Ecclesiastes, it states that there is nothing new under the Sun....Is it possible that *none* of the inventions or advances are new, but are just inspired from a Source of consciousness, the reservoir of True Knowledge available to any of us, who'd be willing participants in a spiritual reintroduction of things that were before.....in another time and possibly even another place? Something tells me that we've had a version of all of this before, but it was better. My own thoughts are that the reason it was better is possibly because those then had greater mental abilities; every aspect of their mental faculties were markedly sharper than ours is today. My point is that we should be focusing on developing ourselves, not just mentally, but emotionally, physically and most important... *spiritually* to out pace ANY development in computer technology. It looks like we are romanticizing and setting up ourselves for our own demise....at the hands or logical processes of the computer. Did we create our own true enemy?
