If someone had a video of the year 2150, would you watch it?


If the future is good, it may fill you with hope that everything will work out.

If the world is a dystopian hell hole, it would haunt you for the rest of your days, especially if you are a parent or grandparent.

So you gonna watch it?

reply

Definitely. I would be too curious.

reply

Curiosity killed the cat.

reply

I hope I would muster the discipline to resist.

It's not like everyone will be flying around in spaceships and wearing aluminum uniforms. It's only 30 years. It won't be that much different than now.

reply

130 years. Still doubt there will be spaceships in common use by then, but those aluminum duds are a guarantee.

reply

I'm guessing there will be a revolutionary form of transportation if we don't destroy the world. Imagine if the roads were a grid like a circuit board, and we enter transport pods that move around the grid? The computer system that controls it could calculate the journey, ensuring the fastest move without hitting another pod.

That sounds pretty cool. My theory is that holographic technology will be the real game-changer, because once life-sized, life-like holograms are an everyday reality I don't think people will need to travel anywhere near as much as we do today.

The funny thing is that video calls, as shows like The Jetsons showed, are now accessible, but we don't use them much. I could video call my friend but I'd prefer a voice call.

Even voice calls are declining, people like messenger apps.

I've heard people say that a phonecall out of the blue is too intrusive. They want to be forewarned by messenger or asked if they can talk.

So technology is making people both more and less accessible.

reply

That basic system could work with private 'pods', though I suppose they would have to have regular sizes/conformations.

I could never resist seeing into the future, come what may. It might do us a lot of good, if we could see the consequence of our present outrages, yet imperfectly perceived/realized, and amend them.

Let the butterfly effect work for us.

reply

Okay, my bad. I think the big question would be not about "spaceships" per se.

But will the average family have a flying car in 130 years?

I would hope that Trolls would be a thing of the past by then.

reply

Sure. I'll be dead by then anyway.

reply

No...I'm a realist. Its not going to look good.

reply

Absolutely !
