It's common for people to make theories about what the world would look like 100-1000 years from now.
Do you think people who lived in bygone eras did this too? Are there any surviving predictions? I know some French artist in 1899 drew some pictures of how he envisioned Paris in the year 2000

Well, no one predicted the future would look like this, that's for sure.

No, I mean no one predicted that in the future we would have fags dancing around with lazers shoved up their assholes.

Where did we go wrong?

((())) and the Chinese

My god they were right

If you look at what generations from the industrial revolution to the pre-stagnation era envisioned, most striking is how
most of what fuels these visions of the future is economic expansion rather than technological advancement proper.

People back then seriously thought the economy would keep expanding infinitely without limitations.

Also kill yourself OP for ruining a potentially interesting topic with a /tv/ tier bait twitter screencap

spiral escalators would be dope

To be fair, the Solow–Swan model wasn't formulated back then, people didn't fully understand that technological progress was the only way to achieve sustainable economic growth in the long run.

I bet we would have the same reaction in Cantal.

This is pretty neat. Sapporo is like this except the cars and pedestrians switch places.

I always figured that many myths and even some religions were started by oral history being passed down for generations (with the story getting a little more fantastical as time went on) until someone figured out a writing system and wrote it all down

Seriously your shithole is more backward than a good chunk of the African coast and I'm absolutely not kidding.

Most people would get fucking distressed if they got harassed by a drone. That being said the sami are still civilised, school is mandatory in sweden and other sami-having countries so they have atleast a basic education and plenty of knowledge of the modern world.

No. The concepts of technological exponential advancement didn't really begin to exist until around the Renaissance, and only really exploded during the Age of Reason.

How do you go from this to this

The only prediction I feel I can make with certitude is that, if things keep going as they are, within 200 years advertising will be synonymous with pornography, or at the least that pornography will be advertised as openly as normal film.

Seems like it would be fun to get wasted and go to one of these so you can laugh your ass off at grown-ass men dancing around like fucking lightning bugs.

Some of this was accurate: more women in the workforce, more single parent households, longer life expectancy, fewer library books.

But a 20 hour work week, with 15 weeks vacation: what in the UK were they thinking?

why use a plane for supplies?

you'd never be able to land it on the ship

just use a fuckin rope and basket

which countries are obsessed with dystopias?
