I remember in the 1950’s in Mechanix Illustrated magazine was a page of ideas for the future - I recall wrist Phones and TVs, self driving and flying cars too. 😁👍🏼
Did he predict that in 2024 we’d have a senile old man as a president? Or that we would be considered criminals for not wearing masks? Or that the world of 2024 would make us want to go back to the past? 😮
Great points, Glenn. OR that EVERYTHING would be all over with in terms of films, music, auto design?? No one thought those things were finite with a beginning, middle and end, but they were. The argument can be made those things ARE still around, but in what form or condition??! The condition Joe Biden's in!! Uggghk!
@@bobpierce115LOL. In movie terms, I thought we'd end up in Star Trek's version of the future, but it looks like we're headed toward Logan's Run. Definitely 1984ish.
Good stuff! I love that era of them thinking up futuristic technological advances in how we would be living and actually a lot of them have come to pass which is awesome and freaky too. We actually have had hovering cars already, however they are very much "behind the scenes" as they haven't taken off commercially yet and/or aren't really practical either as it would require a lot of reinventing/reconstructing of how we know our roads and road laws to work. Tesla has dabbled in them among other off brand experimental car developers/manufacturers. Great video, love this kind of content. Thank you!
Copies of Popular Science from the fifties and sixties are loaded with this stuff. I never balk at the chance to pick up copies at swap meets. We are living the future that they envisioned. SPOILER ALERT- Things didn’t turn out so good.
Goodyear did develop a inflatable aircraft and tested it with some success it was a idea to airdrop them to pilots that had been shot down . But it’s slow speed would have made it a easy target for small arms fire so it was never implemented.

At the :50 mark you bring up flying cars and personal helicopters being "somewhere" in the future. People can barely drive cars on the ground as it is, in case you didn't know that without extremely frequent accidents. The helicopter thing (if it were to happen) would just be another thing to come crashing down. These would only be "toys" for people like bald Bezos. Private planes that have been around since 1951 or earlier, will continue to be "flying cars" which is what they've always been anyway, though not called that.
Thank God this flying car thing didn't come to pass. I shudder to think about all these people who SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET A driver's license, careening around the sky!
The inflatable airplane in a bag was built in the early 60s. Made by Goodyear Tire, it was made for downed pilots and dropped from a rescue plane. Just pull it out of the bag, start the engine and you're off. At least that's the plan. The way it looks, I think I'll walk back...
I hear you. I just found it funny how the cartoonist was always inserting these drawings of pretty women, although they had nothing to do with the actual invention. My remarks were meant to draw attention to this.

Seems like the flying cars are the one thing we're all still left waiting for...
This was great. Love how optimistic the past was, for the future. Makes you wonder...how we made it such a mess?
Who remember the cartoon "the Jetsons"?
I do and I'm an 86 baby and 90's child
I wish we still had the optimism of these people who thought this up.

When I was a kid in the 60s, I remember that in the future we'd have jetpacks we'd strap on our back and zoom off. Shucks, that didn't happen:(
It might, we’re just not there yet.
That’s what I thought too. I never missed Johnny Quest!
The trailer trucks? Same as a train. No Johnny Quest ? It was early 60’s & a great cartoon for kids
Classic. And I was born in 88.
I miss Johnny Quest.
I’d say a modern security camera could be a way to “look into the past “ even though I know that isn’t what the comic was going for.🤔
Thank you! I love the oldschool cartoons ❤️

We have cameras that show us the past. They're called security cameras.
I said the same thing lol
Back in 1981 I bought a 1967 Corvette and my friends grandmother saw it and called it "The car from Mars."
😄
There had already been an inflatable airplane built by Goodyear, the “inflatoplane”, 12 examples were made from 1956 to 1959.

Actually the" Inflato-Plane " did exist in the U.S. military
Goodyear built it
I didn't know - wow!

I think that Pinto footage was from the movie Top Secret with Val Kilmer.
Yes!
We do have personal helicopters and flying cars. There are actually 5 different companies selling them currently and somewhere around 400 startups.
So did they predict the future or did the future look back at them for their ideas?
🤔🤔🤔
Planes fly with the aid of stuff on the ground. Cars drive with help from above. Weird.
Cool 🚬 😎 🍷 man, very cool.
What are we drinking tonight, boss? 🤔

The Time Machine Camera would of been a invention beyond awesomeness.
The inflatable plane did exist. Goodyear inflatoplae from 1956. It was an idea to extract downed pilots. I think i saw it on dark skies Channel.
Interesting!
I like the music too.

What's with all this men are evil creepers BS
I wonder what they predicted what would happen in October of 2077
The zipper bag for dead bodies?
And your problem with attractive women is?
Goodyear made a rubber aircraft for the military. It sucked.
I believe the narrator needs to learn to keep on subject, rather wander off on explosions and cartoon women.
