How People In 1899 Imagined The Year 2000.

Is the intro filmed in Stafford 😂

It's interesting to even think about what people thought about the 2000's back in the late 1900's like some of Ray Bradbury's books, which some of his works were about the "future" (ie. 2000-2010) which we know now didn't come true. Same for Stanley Kurbeck's "2001" (which also didn't really come true, although had some compelling parts to the plot) but still hasn't happened as of right now (like a deep space multi-year manned mission to some distant location).

The Roomba came out in 2002

Amusing as it is, some stuff was predicted hundreds of years ago. Not so much the question of if but when and how. Nice to look in the rear wiew mirror indeed. Thanks!

They would probably never guess about the crazy fashions today

these cant be 1899 predictions!! there's no way the helicopter could have been seen THIS clearly...propeller on the top...

the 20th century began on january 1901

When I am predicting the future. Do I use more wings or less wings?

I just stumbled across your channel. The first video I watched was the one about our brains being biased. Then i clicked on this one and at the beginning of the video you had a text disclaimer that you were sorry about the noisy children who were getting out of school. Anyway i found myself only focusing on those sounds at first and made the connection that maybe my brain was being biased. It was kind of weird to recognize what was happening. But then again maybe i am crazy for thinking this lol 😆

6,10 already got automatic havesting systems for allot crops.. and mordern tractors and such have auto driving systems.. i bin in 1 thos things.. field is mesured up.. and you just let the tractor drive wil you do somshing els lol.. tho it was not allowed to leve the machine it was automaticly havesting and driving

It's good we can picture our distant future much more accurately nowadays. Hence I'm proud to announce, we will all be flying in huge white vibranium balls in the future!

These drawings were produced by the same company and not by different representatives.Moreover, one artist

They predicted even barbers losing their jobs to robots.

Very cool to see

I would say they nailed the future kitchen. Big corporations higher food engineers and chemists nowadays.NOT chefs everything is full of artificial flavors colors additives preservatives pesticides herbicides and everything else I missed that I can't think of right now only a little bit actual food value is there.
Not to mention growing chicken in a vat of chemicals

Imagine living at 1899 not knowing the first and second war is going to come.

This was when airplanes were first invented, and it's understandable that they figured the air was a new frontier to be conquered, that's why many of these predictions took place in the air..flying cars, airborne sports, cafe's that serve airplanes, flying firefighters. It's almost disappointing that we really haven't advanced much in that area since then. Airplanes are still pretty much the only way to fly, and only done by professionals commercially. You would think it would be fairly easy to make an affordable and safe device we could attach to our back to fly around at will.

Speech to text was on windows 98

Wonderful video! Liked and subbed!

With all the mental sicked people that have nuclean weapons in they hand right now , living in underground caves in 2123 will be something that human do to survival.

Looks like nobody considered that earth will became flat again and 200+ genders will be invented.

I wonder what Arthur Morgan thought

French her, seems that my ancestors had a lot of ideas, some weirder than another

We do have electric roller blades.

1899: in year 2000 we have a lot of labor saving devices!
2023: skibidi toilet skibidi skibidi toilet goofy ahh noises

I find it amusing how their day-to-day thoughts were displayed. Too lazy to write, too lazy to read, find it limiting to being stuck to walking and wanting to fly and swim...

Did we disappoint them?

The on the spot tailored clothes could 100% be a thing, we have the technology to do so, it's just that the economy has moved to mass production where you sell thousands if not millions of units to make your profits, back in the day any piece of clothing was an expense and so having a machine making single-units would be in line with the economy of the time, same goes for many other exemples.
Also, speech to text is aviable since the early 2000s and was working since the 80s. It's been 10 years that speech to text works well enough to be used at your desk.

You missed hoverboard for the electric ice skating, and (not so accurate) a cafe serving someone from the plane but kinda looks like the concept of drive thru to me

They sure didn't put any effort into predicting future fashion

Dude, that one prediction was literally audio books

Retrofuturism is fascinating!. We should do the same thing today. Could even be a public competition to have your name and artwork put in a time capsule for people in the year 3000 to learn about our crazy ideas of what their time would be like.

this is the reality I want to live in

hard working people back at 1900 made America what it is now and they pictured the future like a heaven expecting the future generations to help their countries as they did . what is the future leading generation doing now ? playing Tetris and supporting it by attacking a news anchor mother on social media . no wonder America is doomed .

There was a fully printed house put up for sale recently

Wow. Seeing how people back then thought things would be like in the 21st century makes me wonder how off or how spot on our predictions of the next century are.

Can you do what prehistoric animals looks like ?

I have a few things to mention that you should perhaps consider.

Automated GPS controlled tractors have been a thing for over 20 years. With the flip of a switch, farmers have been able to harvest crops remotely for a looong time now. That image was 100% accurate.
Also, speech to text was well into development for the consumer market back in and before 2000. Remember Dragon Naturally Speaking? For WINDOWS 95!? I do. Apple and Google don't do everything.

And you thought lawn darts were bad, kids? Meet my old friend, mid air lawn tennis!

And now we do the same about the year 2100.

All it's missing is the arab and african refugees.

Do we have something like for 2050?

Arthur Morgan made these predictions
