As someone born in mid 80’s 2020 was the future. I used to think ‘wow imagine in the year 2020’ blah blah whatever the hell I was talking about. We are here now. And this was just my future. Other people futures are already gone. Many people haven’t made it yet.
The best example of an incredible future is my granny. She was born right about 1907 She saw everything that happened until she died in 2008. I mean she saw everything. From 1900 to 2000 the world changed so much the when she was a little girl tv hadn’t even been invented all the way up to the whole internet when she died. She could have had her own YouTube channel but when she was born the only thing remotely like YouTube was….. I have no idea maybe a circus.
I know it’s like that for a lot of times in history but I don’t really believe anything like electronics has a comparison.
What will happen in the next 50 or 100 years, or 10 years is anyone’s guess. We could figure something out that we didn’t even know we were looking for and it change the direction of almost everything else. If we figured out how to make people live for 1000 years comfortably in the next 10 years I don’t know what the future looks like. Say that doesn’t happen but we do get 200 year lifespans instead. So many things can happen.
What if we end up in a massive world war and we spend the next 25 years recovering.
As far as predictions go, some have happened and some have not.
