Lets post videos that have a future world of a time near ours.
Here is what 2016 looked like in 1983 (looks more like 1980 to me):
Great song too.

This Used To Be The Future
And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'
"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]
[BOOSH! BOOSH!] (What was that?) Pet Shop Boys

Back to The Future 2 takes place in 2015, complete with flying cars and levitating skateboards - but no flat screen TV's!

Life in 1980 (as predicted in 1969/70)
What they got right - mp3 players, cordless phones, extensive use of computers amongst other things.

Re: This Used To Be The Future
We are going to see some fantastic developments in our time.
Especially around the net, visual display and the intelligent home.
But one thing we will not see in our lifetime is artificial intelligence.
No robots, androids or such. It is just too hard to write the software.
There will be a robot that can emulate a human, but no AI will be able
think like a human, let alone debate philosophy.

Re: This Used To Be The Future
I've watched alot of movies where they had their vision of the future, but the only movie that had one that I would like to have lived in was the one in minority reports.
it was just far enough that it had some amazing stuff, yet not so far I couldnt get the gist if I was dropped in that time.

Re: This Used To Be The Future
It's all downhill from here. I'll nominate "Mad Max" as the Republican vision of our future in the US, and I think we are well on our way. I'm not half-joking.
Re: This Used To Be The Future
fantastic, interesting how accurate it was, particularly compared to many predictions that were madeRadiophonic wrote:This seems very accurate (1967).
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.
