Bit för Bit (Bit by Bit) was a Swedish TV-series about computers. Six episodes were broadcasted in 1989 as part of the youth segment called Unga Tvåan on Sveriges Television. It was a mixture of education and entertainment, where each episode had competitions in games and demos, and usually an educational clip and examples of CGI-animation. There was a slightly confused hostess, Gila Bergqvist, and an animated co-host called Orcon. Orcon would slightly change his voice, personality and role in between the episodes.
That Sci - fi film at the beginning was featured in Starlog magazine years ago, the photos gave the impression the film looked rubbish, and having now seen the excerpt -that impression has been confirmed.
Even in 100 years, life will have changed very little. It'll just be far more convenient. But our daily lives will be much the same. Wake up, eat breakfast, have daily plans, come home, eat dinner, sleep.
I've been watching this channel since the lockdown and it only occurred to me recently that this channel is camp! I had a flashback to one of my favorite episodes of The Simpsons starring John Waters. A moment that stuck out to me is Homer highlighting how weird it is for a grown man to love a "box" or a "toy gun" (which was a retro 50s ray gun). John explains "It's camp!" So now, I get to wear my badge of honor that I love retrofuturism onto only because its an immensely deeper perspective of Americana and our future, but I can also say "It's camp!"
Folding sunglasses were trendy recently in my online shopping browsing and youtube store shopping videos, folding earphones for todays devices might be a fun product
Somewhere I have the 1988 newspaper insert of that Syd Mead drawing of LA in the far off world of 2013! The cars are off but the architecture like the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Wilshire Grand Center are not too far off of that image! The big thing missing is all the advertising.

I love these! They are as funny as the ones from today where people expect to be living on Mars in their lifetime. Massive steps forward in technology take time, and knowing how to (maybe, sorta, kinda) do something is not the same as 'we'll be doing it next year or ten'.
I don't expect to live on mars. But humans landing on mars before 2050 is a near certainty. The biggest difference between now and the past is more information and more progress rather than concepts and cold war propaganda films. It's how the space program of the 60s ended differently than other ideas from the 30s about the future. The pace of tech progress is slow but it has increased some since the 50s. I don't see us traveling the stars anytime soon but the next 80 years will be far more advanced technologically than the last 20. That much is certain.
@@tc-tm1my I seriously doubt the before 2050 thing, but I am certain we can get some humans to die there before the end of the century. This is similar to the zero emissions garbage. Saying you will do something is just as effective as passing a law when it comes to the magical appearance of new technologies. While zero emissions is just plain stupid, we WILL be able to put someone on Mars and maybe keep them alive. No way in hell will it be any time soon.
Great vid! I had a few groans over a few failed technologies and a few successful ones like voice recognition. (Remember Windows XP's phone authentication?) Ugh!
Futurism is a terrible selling point. Convenience is a far better way to sell a product and design a product. That includes future tech like extended reality gear. It has to be convenient and easy to use or people won't use it. It's why smart phones took off.
And your electronics and appliances will monitor and record everything you do and sell it to the highest bidder.

The future was really retro way back now. I can't wait too see how it will used to have been when we get there.
Packets! Packets! Packets!

Zzzap!
There are basically 2 types
of camp.
Intentional & Unintentional
Both are cultural constructions.
“The tragically ludicrous? The ludicrously tragic?”
“Oh yeah, like when a clown dies”
I love this channel. You can't find anything like it
I still want a Nissan 300ZX so bad.. :(

Ooh lucky you. I'm a total TRON nerd, & I love Syd Mead.

@@GeekFilter Oh wow. That's sounds amazing. What an utter Gentleman. Again, lucky you. 😊
I. Love. This. Channel.

Dang that Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene song at 2:30 brings back childhood memories 😊
"Somewhere in the Far East." We abandoned that Eurocentric label for Asia decades ago. It's not going to be around in 3005.
32 kilobits per second rate for voice data i feel like im downloading different qualities of audio tracks on napster

Windows XP that new fangled operating system still loving Windows NT 3.51.
