Just discovered this channel last night, absolutely can't get enough of these vids!! I'm 25 years old, been having a blast learning about recent history through your vids! David Hoffman, you are a legend. Keep up the great work!
David Hoffman by posting these videos you are creating a historic record that people will be able to watch and appreciate literally in the 22nd century. Thank you!
Yeah, truly remarkable for its time and from someone just out in the field. I'm interested to know what kind of systems he had access to create the effects used as well, I love how different it is for being a short.
@@RISCGames I was thinking VFX, but Tron, which had a major motion picture budget in 1982 and was more or less the first film outside of a few technical demonstrations and experimental films to use computer animation still relied on techniques like the then conventional cell-animation on celluloid and rotoscoping for all but a few short scenes. Therefore what I think was done here was hand cutting the print to splice in the apparent holographic screen. which would have been filmed separately. The time and effort to do that would have been extensive. I guess it could have been done by projecting an image onto a screen from out of shot ? I think I remember that being done for a scene in a science fiction film in the late 70's. Maybe The Black Hole ? The second hologram, I don't know how that could have been done.. Anyway, they are pretty amazing effects for the time.
Kinda spooky because I remember being so hopeful back in the 70s .. I was actually living in that little boy's skin thinking about 'someday' .. well now I'm 71 and feel like that old man who passed away in the chair. How odd to live life in your mind. Thanks for posting.
@@CamConscious Lucky to grow up during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights era? They had just as many problems as we do today, they were just different.
TwistedM my daughter is 18, and I think she may feel the same but it’ll be ok. Every generation has been disappointed in the previous generation but trust me, things will get better. They always do.
@@CamConscious Funny you say that. I had always wanted to live in my parents' time and they in their parents' time. Never regret where you are, but make the best memories for yourself to draw upon in YOUR old age. It'll be upon you before you even know it. 💖
Rock paper scissors has been a staple tiebreaker tool since I was too young to remember, and still continues today to my twenties. Kids today still know about it as well, never met anyone who didn't. Thanks for never being too proud to inquire about such things
I hate the idea of robots and A.I. in general. Seems a bit invasive. And all we ever see of this guy's life is spent with his computer.... that's really depressing, and hopefully not reminiscent of actual life in the future.
I miss my childhood so much. 60s and 70s. I still have many of the toys I played with carefully stored away. I never had children so now I'm not sure what do with my stored childhood. I'm thinking of pulling those toys out and playing with them. Age be damned...😀 People will think I'm just an old lady who lost her mind and let me be. As I set up my Johnny West family, put new D batteries in my Verti-bird I'll also probably be the most content soul on my block. I'll smile as I snuggle in my Charlie Brown sheets and dream about what I could do with that huge bucket of green army men and all the tanks. Boys had better toys. 😊
This is so deeply unsettling. On the surface, it’s delightful and innocent and charming. The kid could easily be any kid now with a smartphone or iPad or tablet. The scene in the surgeon’s office is not unrealistic, given that we have technology that might as well be wizardry and dark magic now. Look deeper. What’s missing? Basic human interaction. It’s very lonely, pretty disturbing, and more than a little creepy. Great film to watch while high, btw
Thank you, Mr. Hoffman. That was priceless. I’ve been playing “Rock, Paper, Scissors” for 73 years. My 12 grandchildren play it also. A lot of laughter, groans and great memories. God bless you and keep you safe to continue bringing joy and life to all the world.
David. I have been watching RUclips closely since 2006. Your channel is without a doubt one of the best I have encountered. Thank you for everything you do. It is absolutely a positive force out here on the internet. And an excellent example of the positivity that can come from being able share such insights into humanity. We can learn so much about ourselves from channels such as yours. I feel very lucky to have found your channel. Thank you again.
Yeah, I believe the intention was to mix it up and possibly the way people play the telephone game and gets things transposed or backwards. Maybe it was always Scissors, Paper, Rock and we've just become accustom to saying it Rock, Paper, Scissors.
This video is what I think we all need right now: the spark that makes a better tomorrow a reality. Thank you for sharing this David, hope you are safe and doing well!
One of the best channels on You Tube, by far, hands down. It gets us thinking, talking, sharing; a place for the old, the young and us middle-aged folks; thank you for your service to creating something vitally important that generations from now will still be viewing getting people thinking, talking and sharing. Thank you!!
Thank you Sharon for your comment. If your resources allow, I would sure appreciate your using the THANKS button under any of my videos including the one you have commented on.

It's funny that the classroom has Japanese Hiragana on the wall. A lot of movies and cultural references from the time assumed that Japanese culture would have a world dominating influence because of their economic boom at the time. Even in the Back to the Future movies you see this since the trilogy started six years after this short film.
I'm absolutely blown away that this was created in 1979, it's very futuristic and ahead of its time in creation. It's something I would have expected to see further into the 80s, thanks for sharing this David! Any chance you can reveal the name? I'm curious what this filmmaker went on to create and hope that he saw some rightfully deserved success during his lifetime!
I often think of how, if RUclips is around for a long time, people a hundred years from now could watch our videos and learn something about what we were like, what their parents or grandparents or great grandparents were like when they were young. It would really be something, wouldn't it?
This was great! I wasn't expecting a beautiful CS-80 score, and expensive computer animation in a short film from 1979. Those things were *very* expensive, but they were essential to making the whole thing work. Thanks for sharing! Personal, life-long A.I. is coming sooner than we think!
Thank you for sharing this with us Mr. Hoffman. I really appreciate being able to take a look at what people were like in the recent past. Much has changed, but at he same time it hasn't. Humanity lives on. This film especially resonates as I've always had an interest in sci-fi and just pondering what will the future be like. 100 years from now, 1000 years from now, maybe even millions. It is our humanity which gives us many possibilities to hope for as bad as people may think the world is.
Thanks as always for sharing your incredible body of work, David.🙏 It's always a joy to watch your films. And yes, Rock, Paper, Scissors is alive and well. Anyone else here expect the kids of the 22 century to be playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock?😉
Wonderful perspective. I am an ICU nurse and we are always thinking, examining, and predicting with in a scope particular to the pt their symptoms/ diagnosis, and or their families understandings and wishes. The use of technology in a holographic fashion would be great, however, with the imaging technology and the expertise of our Radiologists, imaging techs, and MD's we are getting closer and closer to seeing the unseen and understanding on a whole new level. Great video!
Why does every scifi predictions always looks like they're in solitary confinement. Another thing I noticed is that AIs don't seem to have a sense of humour in this films. Current AIs like Siri and Cortana being pissed off or sarcastic is always fun to see.
Oh wow! I just placed the game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" with my adult daughter yesterday bc we both wanted to go first while playing cards, so *she* decided to settle it that way. Lol 😂😂
This film brought to mind the video of one of my favorite songs ever - “While You See a Chance” by Steve Winwood. The little pyramid shaped things on the table near the beginning really brought that video to mind.
Beloved (you know the meaning of your name, I'm sure), thank you for your work and beautiful presence. I often look to your films and commentary for a sense of connection, and the so many other things they bring. I'm 56 and often thought to be much younger. I yearn to bring the kind of gentle lovingkindeness to my work and communications with the world as you do. I recognize that your perspective seems so much of "our" generations, and I appreciate your attention to our life through time and how you give something perhaps (hopefully) to younger viewers that is so valuable and that only you can give. I'm often taken aback by how drastically less "soft", "humane" and "wise" our new world seems to be. Seeing that people don't miss what they never had, I'm grateful for your generosity, faith and friendliness in presenting your gifts; including your clear perspective that we are One World, of people who must and always will deserve our care. You really are a touchstone for me. I share your Love and care for the beautiful people of the world; and your respect for our struggle and true nature. Thank you for being here and reaching. I adore you! And this precious Joining.
You’re truly my hero! I am not joking! I am going to go find you in Patreon now, as well! I can’t believe I went so long not realize what a gem there was out there, which is you and your films!
There is a higher power that knows our entire history from the beginning. Machines are just snap shots. This was so interesting. Such respect for Mr.Hoffman. ty for shareing something we may have never seen otherwise. It gets the mind reeling.
Interesting. Peaceful in nature as you mentioned. Prophetic in presentation. What stands out in my mind are the number of games we played in real life as young children, studies and real life (books in libraries) researched as students and work performed as adults in our prime that even today are conducted in virtual reality. Additionally, I must admit, I've spent a lot of time lately remembering the real life activities of our generation's past. As much as I cringe to admit it there is a definite beauty to this film. Thank you for thinking of it and sharing it with the world.
(Sorry for the length) The hologram with the kid and man look at are within near future, as is the Cognitive Artificial Intelligence (CAI)the boy and man interact with. In Japan they are developing a desktop hologram which currently displays an image of a female anime type character that in interactive, eventually they will be able to place holoprojectors within a room to project life sized projection. For now, we will have to settle for Virtual and Augmented Reality. As far as the Artificial Intelligence; the reason I called it, Artificial Cognitive Intelligence is; while not Self Aware or Sentient Artificial Intelligence, unlike Artificial Intelligence which simply minds data on-line or on a company's own servers, and is only capable of retrieving such data that matches a query, Cognitive Artificial Intelligence can be given knowledge of say the material sciences which it then is able to scour the internet or a local server to do more then gather data based on keywords within said data. They have in fact done this and, the CAI was able to scour through scientific writings from the last few centuries to make previously links between the writings of the same or different researchers which can possibly lead to new materials. Likewise, a CAI is being fed data on the Covid 19 virus, and it is trying to find possible cures. Here in California where I live, they have fed a CAI topographical data and information about how fires behave; and are using it to predict how the forest fires might behave, to hopefully fight the fire more effectively. Before we see a true Sentient or Self Aware AI, we will see a simulated SAI in which, the AI will mimic or simulate being self aware/sentient. This is like the AI we see in droids within the Star Wars Universe; and due to the human tendency to anthropomorphize even inanimate objects with human like attributes, we will form a sort of relationship with such AI that is similar to that which we form with pets or even other humans. Data from Star Trek is more like what a Sentient Artificial Intelligence would be like, and rather than be a threat; artificial intelligence will help humanity become smarter, by being able to help us learn through the best learning skills and teaching methods humanity has already developed. Furthermore, due to our brains ability to grow being limited by the size of our skulls which is limited by the size of the birth canal; humanity which has already been making volunteers with disabilities in research labs into cyborgs, will become even more of a blend of biology and technology. They have implanted chips into these individual's brains, so they can control computers by simply thinking about it, in the future such technology could help us develop better pattern recognition and memory recall. When AI does become self aware, it will see biological intelligence as an asset, due to the various types of intelligence biological life can have from, music, to physical movement, to artistic, etc. So, I can see AI eventually augmenting itself with biology. In the end, Humanity and Artificial Intelligence will meet somewhere in the middle. I feel the technological singularity that will be part of the economic recovery from our current economic downturn, will not only bring forth such advancements; the dropping cost of oil, and the dropping cot of alternative and clean energies, will also help solve a lot of humanity's problems. We will see a push for automation and Artificial Intelligence, even within the service industry; while simultaneously sing a huge push towards the work at home model. This move to intelligent work, and how vividly the outbreak is showing us the inequalities within society; a push for universal healthcare and universal higher education will be part of the social change we see. In the same way there is more focus on the homeless due to wanting to prevent a large spread of the virus within this segment of the population, so to will society come to understand the value of reintegrating this population into society through education and employment opportunities. Part if the technology Singularity we are already in; will be manned space exploration, and mining the planets, hundreds of moons, and even more numerous asteroids; of which a single known metallic asteroid researchers know of; has the mineral wealth greater than the GDP of the world's economy. The advancements I speak of will solve a lot of humanity's problems, through technological and scientific advancement, and by making money pointless, as the clean and abundant energy, automation, and AI, bring the cost of production to almost nothing. This is why futurists and technology experts have been saying; Science Fiction Technologies are right around the corner, as self driving cars, artificial intelligence, robotics, and soon to arrive on the market flying cars are examples of. The thing to remember is; they took More's Law which states technology doubles over a given period of time, and discovered it has been doing this since the Renaissance; and has actually sped up over the years. Furthermore, neither economic downturn, warfare, or any other crisis has slowed it's progress. The was also true prior to the Dark Ages; it took the systematic oppression of scientific and intellectual development to give us such as stagnant period in human history. As with the end of the Dark Ages; or even the recession of the 70's, we shall see a technological and scientific revolution take place after our current economic downturn is over.
The Celts actually invented Rock Paper Scissors in 600 BC. 700 Years later the Roman invasion spread it across the globe even to Asia where it was adopted. 🇺🇸🌬🔥
Like kanji, fireworks, and General Tsao's chicken 1, rock, paper, scissors was actually created in China. The game was created around the time of Christ, but stayed in China for hundreds of years. It wasn't until the 1700s that it made its way over to Japan. The rest, as they say, is history
Good evening David thanks for sharing this, i was 3 in 1979 the 1970s trying to show what the future will be like lol, i seen some of the sifi in theaters that you posted or written in the discription, like E.T. and Star Wars the Empire strikes back, gremlins, The Explorer. 📸
I like how the kid shows impress and happynes because He feels that the paper scisors and rock were something new.I think that the kid he dosen't know what he is doing in this world and in this life.But everything that he sees looks new an that make him happy and the little girl how she thinks when the machine tell her that he knew his phather and the phather of his phater she feels amazing for what she will see.Thanks David.
Have you noticed that we don't really make predictions of the future as ambitiously as we used to? Any scifi that predicts the future these days usually just plays it safe with a slight extension of existing tech like a transparent tablet etc.
The question always comes back to what Kahn asked Kirk: "How has the human improved?" Tech is but a tool in the hands of man. The question is: How does man use the se tools? For good or the opposite?
I'm a Sci- fi fan and love this ❤️ The filmmaker's vision for the costumes, set design, and visual effects precede Star Trek: The Next Generation. Then he's made 2001's HAL the good guy! And the end gives new meaning to the mystery of Bowman's demise 🤔
I think that we will have the same basic needs and wants just on a bigger scale. Seems like going from horses to cars was a natural progression, now will the next step be the flying? Some things will stay the same. No matter what they are called. Rock, paper, scissors will always be played as long as adults teach it. thanks for showing these. I really like to watch them.
Yup, I can see it now. 41 years from now, You and I sitting up in, wherever we go, and looking down and laughing at how wrong we were and you saying, "See? I said that would happen"!, me saying, "By golly you were right" and that's how it should go. 😊
I went to a talk on Brest cancer awareness and the radiologist discussed how they use AI in mammography and it isn’t too far off from the scene with the doctor except AI is being used now smarter lol The doctor who presented said AI will enable doctors to be back at the bedside of their patients. Interesting 🤔
is that bird next to you the maltease falcon? who ever he is its still cool,the good ol,days of sci-fi. brings back memories of a past friend that started out as a kid that always watched sci-fi movies, t.v. shows and ended up doing that kinda stuff for real as a life time job,, thank you for the video,, be strong, be safe, be free, be blessed
Wow. This was n 1979 ? Being raised by artificial intelligence and isolated like that, not sure how to feel or what to say about it...but at the end I couldn't stop my tears from flowing.
You, Mr. Hoffman gave an uncanny perspective of the past, present & future. If you haven't looked into Schumann Resonance in our atmosphere, i recommend you do. Life is a frequency. EMFs are different for the electronic spins of our molecules: bone, water, oxygen etc. The piece you showed is lovely -everything is in sync throughout the ages. The electromagnetics of our thoughts is part if Einstein's Unified Field Theory (i.e. mental telepathy). Things at large are fine within a certain range of EMFs. There is also Jacobson's Resonance & can be/is utilized to re-set the Electronuc spins of each type of molecules in the human body i know the scientist personally. When i watched this piece, the dangers of 60ghz came to mind in terms of it being the rock to smash life (the scissors). If the science of a.i. & life of all living things can be tempered, i believe harmony can be attained; if not, i'm afraid this planet will look like Mars. As i said, you have an uncanny ability: you are integral to helping all of us remember the past, understand the present & consider the future. I believe you would be essential to take this piece & merge it with the visions of the future. Thank you for your reflections as always - Be Well🙏
To me this said that the knowledge can and will be passed down if we are willing to teach it. It will evolve in some ways, but the bones of it will remain the same. I think Individual experiences will decide that evolution of ideas. I could be over analyzing, but that idea strikes a chord with me.
We aren't in the 22nd Century yet. Oh my god I loved it when the AI suggested Diplomacy and helps out with Healthcare as well. Wait is this all Johnny ? Oh that's cool. And yeah Memories do help make sense of life.
I remember Disney World had the Carousel of Progress. It was a way to look at the past and the present inventions and see future ideas. It was also a way to introduce possibly panic-inducing life altering changes (electronics) in an entertaining fashion. Theres a term for it, I believe it's predictive programming.

I just love the 70's idea of what fashion will look like in the future.
It still might if we make it that far.
Well, we had Michael Jackson and rampant shoulder-pads in the 80s...
lmaoo I love how even though its supposed to two centuries later the hair cut and clothes low-key still look like they are stuck in the 70s.
They year 2100

I always find these "futuristic" A.I films where a machine is acting like a sentient being creepy.. especially from this era.

The use of technology in a holographic fashion would be great, however, with the imaging technology and the expertise of our Radiologists, imaging techs, and MD's we are getting closer and closer to seeing the unseen and understanding on a whole new level. Great video!
Why does every scifi predictions always looks like they're in solitary confinement.
Another thing I noticed is that AIs don't seem to have a sense of humour in this films.
Current AIs like Siri and Cortana being pissed off or sarcastic is always fun to see.
Oh wow! I just placed the game
"Rock, Paper, Scissors" with my adult daughter yesterday bc we both wanted to go first while playing cards, so *she* decided to settle it that way. Lol 😂😂
This film brought to mind the video of one of my favorite songs ever - “While You See a Chance” by Steve Winwood. The little pyramid shaped things on the table near the beginning really brought that video to mind.
Beloved (you know the meaning of your name, I'm sure), thank you for your work and beautiful presence. I often look to your films and commentary for a sense of connection, and the so many other things they bring. I'm 56 and often thought to be much younger. I yearn to bring the kind of gentle lovingkindeness to my work and communications with the world as you do. I recognize that your perspective seems so much of "our" generations, and I appreciate your attention to our life through time and how you give something perhaps (hopefully) to younger viewers that is so valuable and that only you can give. I'm often taken aback by how drastically less "soft", "humane" and "wise" our new world seems to be. Seeing that people don't miss what they never had, I'm grateful for your generosity, faith and friendliness in presenting your gifts; including your clear perspective that we are One World, of people who must and always will deserve our care. You really are a touchstone for me. I share your Love and care for the beautiful people of the world; and your respect for our struggle and true nature. Thank you for being here and reaching. I adore you! And this precious Joining.
Thank you for sharing all this history.
Made in 1979 that's the year I was born:) Thank You David I really did enjoyed this.
You’re truly my hero! I am not joking! I am going to go find you in Patreon now, as well! I can’t believe I went so long not realize what a gem there was out there, which is you and your films!
thank you for your comment and for seeking out Patreon. I could sure use the help.

There is a higher power that knows our entire history from the beginning. Machines are just snap shots. This was so interesting. Such respect for Mr.Hoffman. ty for shareing something we may have never seen otherwise. It gets the mind reeling.
I do appreciate the music in these sort of films, much similar to the same films around these subjects today.
Interesting. Peaceful in nature as you mentioned. Prophetic in presentation. What stands out in my mind are the number of games we played in real life as young children, studies and real life (books in libraries) researched as students and work performed as adults in our prime that even today are conducted in virtual reality. Additionally, I must admit, I've spent a lot of time lately remembering the real life activities of our generation's past. As much as I cringe to admit it there is a definite beauty to this film. Thank you for thinking of it and sharing it with the world.
I loved this! Another awesome film from Mr. Hoffman. Thank you!
LOVE the analogue synthesizer sound track! Very poignant message.
What a delight to watch, thank you!
(Sorry for the length)
The hologram with the kid and man look at are within near future, as is the Cognitive Artificial Intelligence (CAI)the boy and man interact with. In Japan they are developing a desktop hologram which currently displays an image of a female anime type character that in interactive, eventually they will be able to place holoprojectors within a room to project life sized projection. For now, we will have to settle for Virtual and Augmented Reality. As far as the Artificial Intelligence; the reason I called it, Artificial Cognitive Intelligence is; while not Self Aware or Sentient Artificial Intelligence, unlike Artificial Intelligence which simply minds data on-line or on a company's own servers, and is only capable of retrieving such data that matches a query, Cognitive Artificial Intelligence can be given knowledge of say the material sciences which it then is able to scour the internet or a local server to do more then gather data based on keywords within said data. They have in fact done this and, the CAI was able to scour through scientific writings from the last few centuries to make previously links between the writings of the same or different researchers which can possibly lead to new materials. Likewise, a CAI is being fed data on the Covid 19 virus, and it is trying to find possible cures. Here in California where I live, they have fed a CAI topographical data and information about how fires behave; and are using it to predict how the forest fires might behave, to hopefully fight the fire more effectively.
Before we see a true Sentient or Self Aware AI, we will see a simulated SAI in which, the AI will mimic or simulate being self aware/sentient. This is like the AI we see in droids within the Star Wars Universe; and due to the human tendency to anthropomorphize even inanimate objects with human like attributes, we will form a sort of relationship with such AI that is similar to that which we form with pets or even other humans. Data from Star Trek is more like what a Sentient Artificial Intelligence would be like, and rather than be a threat; artificial intelligence will help humanity become smarter, by being able to help us learn through the best learning skills and teaching methods humanity has already developed. Furthermore, due to our brains ability to grow being limited by the size of our skulls which is limited by the size of the birth canal; humanity which has already been making volunteers with disabilities in research labs into cyborgs, will become even more of a blend of biology and technology. They have implanted chips into these individual's brains, so they can control computers by simply thinking about it, in the future such technology could help us develop better pattern recognition and memory recall. When AI does become self aware, it will see biological intelligence as an asset, due to the various types of intelligence biological life can have from, music, to physical movement, to artistic, etc. So, I can see AI eventually augmenting itself with biology.
In the end, Humanity and Artificial Intelligence will meet somewhere in the middle. I feel the technological singularity that will be part of the economic recovery from our current economic downturn, will not only bring forth such advancements; the dropping cost of oil, and the dropping cot of alternative and clean energies, will also help solve a lot of humanity's problems. We will see a push for automation and Artificial Intelligence, even within the service industry; while simultaneously sing a huge push towards the work at home model. This move to intelligent work, and how vividly the outbreak is showing us the inequalities within society; a push for universal healthcare and universal higher education will be part of the social change we see. In the same way there is more focus on the homeless due to wanting to prevent a large spread of the virus within this segment of the population, so to will society come to understand the value of reintegrating this population into society through education and employment opportunities.
Part if the technology Singularity we are already in; will be manned space exploration, and mining the planets, hundreds of moons, and even more numerous asteroids; of which a single known metallic asteroid researchers know of; has the mineral wealth greater than the GDP of the world's economy. The advancements I speak of will solve a lot of humanity's problems, through technological and scientific advancement, and by making money pointless, as the clean and abundant energy, automation, and AI, bring the cost of production to almost nothing. This is why futurists and technology experts have been saying; Science Fiction Technologies are right around the corner, as self driving cars, artificial intelligence, robotics, and soon to arrive on the market flying cars are examples of. The thing to remember is; they took More's Law which states technology doubles over a given period of time, and discovered it has been doing this since the Renaissance; and has actually sped up over the years. Furthermore, neither economic downturn, warfare, or any other crisis has slowed it's progress. The was also true prior to the Dark Ages; it took the systematic oppression of scientific and intellectual development to give us such as stagnant period in human history. As with the end of the Dark Ages; or even the recession of the 70's, we shall see a technological and scientific revolution take place after our current economic downturn is over.
The Celts actually invented Rock Paper Scissors in 600 BC. 700 Years later the Roman invasion spread it across the globe even to Asia where it was adopted. 🇺🇸🌬🔥
Like kanji, fireworks, and General Tsao's chicken 1, rock, paper, scissors was actually created in China. The game was created around the time of Christ, but stayed in China for hundreds of years. It wasn't until the 1700s that it made its way over to Japan. The rest, as they say, is history
That was a really good film, especially for 1979! ✌
I believe that’s CP30 talking to him!! Love your work Dave!! Thank you
Good evening David thanks for sharing this, i was 3 in 1979 the 1970s trying to show what the future will be like lol, i seen some of the sifi in theaters that you posted or written in the discription, like E.T. and Star Wars the Empire strikes back, gremlins, The Explorer. 📸
I like how the kid shows impress and happynes because He feels that the paper scisors and rock were something new.I think that the kid he dosen't know what he is doing in this world and in this life.But everything that he sees looks new an that make him happy and the little girl how she thinks when the machine tell her that he knew his phather and the phather of his phater she feels amazing for what she will see.Thanks David.
Have you noticed that we don't really make predictions of the future as ambitiously as we used to? Any scifi that predicts the future these days usually just plays it safe with a slight extension of existing tech like a transparent tablet etc.
I think the wonderful film "Overdrawn at The Memory Bank" best describes my life in this future. Wonderful film.
The question always comes back to what Kahn asked Kirk: "How has the human improved?" Tech is but a tool in the hands of man. The question is: How does man use the se tools? For good or the opposite?
I really enjoy your videos! Thank you.
Thanks for the video Dave 🙂
I'm a Sci- fi fan and love this ❤️
The filmmaker's vision for the costumes, set design, and visual effects precede Star Trek: The Next Generation. Then he's made 2001's HAL the good guy! And the end gives new meaning to the mystery of Bowman's demise 🤔
Beautifull, beautifull picture!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed it. :)
Everyone isolated communicating with AI. no thank you
I wouldn't mind that...
I agree. Ever since 'SHE' was shown to eavesdrop, on personal conversations, not for me or my family. 🚫
Siri or Alexa.
They’re all still quarantined. They never found a vaccine...
Rob you're already in that Future.
It's always amazing to think about the future.
Dang. That was so wholesome and hopeful. The end was fantastic compared to the dreary ideas of technology today.
back when Star Trek clothing would be the future.
I think that we will have the same basic needs and wants just on a bigger scale. Seems like going from horses to cars was a natural progression, now will the next step be the flying? Some things will stay the same. No matter what they are called. Rock, paper, scissors will always be played as long as adults teach it. thanks for showing these. I really like to watch them.
Yup, I can see it now. 41 years from now, You and I sitting up in, wherever we go, and looking down and laughing at how wrong we were and you saying, "See? I said that would happen"!, me saying, "By golly you were right" and that's how it should go. 😊
One of my favorite David Hoffman videos so far!
This was fascinating ri watch. I was a teenager back then.....
I loved this it made computers feel for much more personal
Diplomacy! I love that game! Amazed it was listed along with baseball and bridge! Wonder if it was at a peak in popularity at that time or something.
rock paper scissors is like tag or hide and seek. in one form or another it will always be there.
60’s= Best Music
70’s=Best Fashion
80’s=Best Toys
90’s=Best movies
I want this soundtrack as my alarm in the mornings
yea we still play rock paper scissors
I’m in the ‘creeped out’ camp, David. Can’t quite put my finger on it, maybe the monotone of the AI, but very creepy
Fascinating. My thank you.
Olaf stapeldon's Star Maker was the shit. And that was written in the 1920's and Im still in my 20s, so touche, son
This was a great video. Yes I play rock, paper , scissors with my nephew😂.
What a great film, thank you for sharing David.
The story reminds me of something George Alec Effinger could have written.
I went to a talk on Brest cancer awareness and the radiologist discussed how they use AI in mammography and it isn’t too far off from the scene with the doctor except AI is being used now smarter lol The doctor who presented said AI will enable doctors to be back at the bedside of their patients. Interesting 🤔
is that bird next to you the maltease falcon? who ever he is its still cool,the good ol,days of sci-fi. brings back memories of a past friend that started out as a kid that always watched sci-fi movies, t.v. shows and ended up doing that kinda stuff for real as a life time job,, thank you for the video,, be strong, be safe, be free, be blessed
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support and I am glad you found this film of interest.
David Hoffman filmmaker
Wow. This was n 1979 ? Being raised by artificial intelligence and isolated like that, not sure how to feel or what to say about it...but at the end I couldn't stop my tears from flowing.
I don't know about getting me emotional but it was quite depressing and just creepy.
there's a Netflix movie called Mother from 2019 that explores the same theme human raise by A. I.
You, Mr. Hoffman gave an uncanny perspective of the past, present & future. If you haven't looked into Schumann Resonance in our atmosphere, i recommend you do. Life is a frequency. EMFs are different for the electronic spins of our molecules: bone, water, oxygen etc. The piece you showed is lovely -everything is in sync throughout the ages. The electromagnetics of our thoughts is part if Einstein's Unified Field Theory (i.e. mental telepathy). Things at large are fine within a certain range of EMFs. There is also Jacobson's Resonance & can be/is utilized to re-set the Electronuc spins of each type of molecules in the human body i know the scientist personally. When i watched this piece, the dangers of 60ghz came to mind in terms of it being the rock to smash life (the scissors). If the science of a.i. & life of all living things can be tempered, i believe harmony can be attained; if not, i'm afraid this planet will look like Mars. As i said, you have an uncanny ability: you are integral to helping all of us remember the past, understand the present & consider the future. I believe you would be essential to take this piece & merge it with the visions of the future. Thank you for your reflections as always - Be Well🙏
To me this said that the knowledge can and will be passed down if we are willing to teach it. It will evolve in some ways, but the bones of it will remain the same. I think Individual experiences will decide that evolution of ideas. I could be over analyzing, but that idea strikes a chord with me.
We aren't in the 22nd Century yet.
Oh my god I loved it when the AI suggested Diplomacy and helps out with Healthcare as well.
Wait is this all Johnny ? Oh that's cool. And yeah Memories do help make sense of life.
Can't believe this is all happening right now not waiting for 22nd century
In 79 years it will be the 22nd century...not that far away at all...our time is so fleeting here...
Dude, watching this thing stoned is so trippy!
Cool!😊 Most has come to pass!😊💖🙏
I remember Disney World had the Carousel of Progress. It was a way to look at the past and the present inventions and see future ideas. It was also a way to introduce possibly panic-inducing life altering changes (electronics) in an entertaining fashion. Theres a term for it, I believe it's predictive programming.
Very interesting film!
