    The internet is underrated in terms of predictions. I mean, no one making a really long prediction got anywhere near this and yet, if you want to define our era, this marvellous thing would be it.

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

    • @DenverStarkey
      @DenverStarkey 5 лет назад +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.

      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.

But hey, at least I agree with you that some trees and green spaces are nice in a city.

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.

    The War of the Worlds was never a "prediction of the future". The Martians invaded Earth during the time the story was written. In fact each time the story has been updated it has NEVER taken place in the future, but rather takes place during the same time the story is being told.

    The 1960s predictions used machines of the future that weren't too subtle. In reality, the machines whose predictions were fulfilled are far smaller and more user friendly than their clumsy speculative counterparts.

      If you ever read any of the early works from Asimov, Heinlein, and others, they all still predicted we'd still be using massive computers the size of buildings.

      He's still correct, it's a computer that can be used at home that was made in our present time. No need to hate on Apple.
