Technology is changing the way we live at a faster pace than ever before. It’s hard to even imagine what people’s lives will be like at the end of this century. But hey, what the heck, let’s give it a try. Join me as I play Joestradamus and try to predict how the long-term trends in communication, transportation, economics, and space travel will continue to guide the future and how they will shape what the world looks like in the year 2100.

Who’s watching this in 2100
🙋♂️
Ill return here if i live to 2100. Wait and watch ill do it. Id be 94 lol
I am.
Praying I live to be 107 so I can come back to this comment
@@thydevdomYou honestly think YT will exist in 107 year? The internet? Cell phones?
I can't wait for the retrospective on this in 76 years!
Here is a preemptive RIP to most of us.
Would CZcams be around? It takes money to archive videos
Can't wait for the "Who else is watching this in the year 2100" comments.
I would be 109.... Sounds crazy but might be possible with medical advancements.
Brb cigarette.
Hey people from 2100! Hope you doing good! I just wanted to say this: Kiss my dead ass 😃
P.s: Hope you have Half Life part 3 already
Can't wait for the godlike superintelligence to point to this video when people in 2100 ask "what did people in the 2000 think the current year would look like?" before it gives a perfect, well thought out and well researched summary of every single thing people expected the year to look like. Hey there kid from 2100, I hope you're having a good time.
I'm pretty sure that most jet planes in the year 2100 would run on hot plasma instead of jet fuel.
Hehehe hopefully I'll keep posting until 2212
You wish anyone would read your comment in 80 years.
That's like thinking someone will see your AOL website.
Say hello to ET for me lol.

My grandmother was born in 1896. I got to spend some time with her in her later years. Stories she told me:
- walking on the board walk of times square, and the stench of horse manure in the dirt streets.
- Northern Manhattan was farmland... mostly dairy.
- using a pump by the sink for drinking water (in Queens). Boiling water on the stove for a bath.
- firewood and coal stoves being the primary heat source in buildings.
- riding on a stage coach to the summer camp upstate.
By the time she died at age 90 the Apollo program had ended.
I recall that most people belonged to AAA or another auto club, which provided free maps, so if you were going from LA to NYC you would stop by the AAA office and pick up all the maps needed for the trip. Glove boxes were stuffed full of maps. In the same way that the life skills that indigenous peoples had which allowed to in nature indefinitely are largely lost, the parts of our brains that remembered maps of roads and highways have gone away. Hopefully we are using that part of our brains for something productive. 😄
One other thing I remember from the 70s and 80s. Drinking and driving was waaay more accepted. Every yearbook I had from high school had a dedication page to the students who had died, almost all from drinking and driving. That was a death rate of .5% to 1% per class for four years.
The highway deaths were > 50K per year, largely due to OUI. Today the death rate is about half that based per 1000 drivers, and about one third per mile traveled.
Thank you passing on these memories!
My grandmother was born in 1910 and she lived in the sticks so she didn’t have running water until her 20s. It’s wild how much change she lived through.
This really reminds me of some stories from my Great Grandfather! He was born in 1891 and lived to be 101, so I knew him in my childhood. One thing I remember him talking about is that as a young man he was a milkman delivering in the Chicago area, by horse-drawn carriage. He would often go to the pub after work with his coworkers and it didn't matter how drunk they got because the horses knew the way home. So I can totally see how it took so long for people to see drunk driving as the hugely dangerous problem it is.
@@joescottgoing along with that, I only spent a few years knowing my great grandmother, but she remembers when she was a girl hearing about the Wright Brothers first flight, and watching that “Nice young man Neil Armstrong” take the small step/giant leap. Not sure there’ll be much greater jump in technology than that generation experienced!
My great grandmother died on her 99th birthday. She saw life go from using mules to pull a plow, through WW I, the Great Depression, WW II, the 60s, until the 80s and the space shuttle. When you look at it, it seems so massive a change her generation had perhaps the most disruptive path to navigate. But now I wonder how my kids, both in their 20s, will feel as 2100 gets closer, and neither I or their mother are here for perspective.
As a historian I can say with some confidence,... In the distant past people had no idea of progress. There was change. New kings, new wars, new plagues, new towns. But everyone lived basically the same lives as their grand parents. New inventions that changed how you lived, were amazingly rare. Looking back we can trace the progress of some tools and techniques, but the pace of those changes was so slow that the average person would not notice. Until around the 1800s industrial revolution (aka the rise of the machines)
There was no history to reference, or most people certainly did'nt have any acess to it. Changes happened, but most changes was mostly just decorators (new king and flag)
Change started from Gutenberg and industrial revolution was major exponental point on logistic curve.
In my lifetime, there has not been any technologically stable 5 year period. (Pc, Internet, Search engines, Pocket phone to Pocket computer, Social medias, CZcams) Actually, maybe we are more of decelerate phase in last 5 to 7 years. Hymmm
@@InforSpiritAI is probably the next big accelerator
@@joshweissert8085 No it's not. It's like 3D in movies all over again. These things tend to die out for 20 years or more and then get brought back like there the newest thing ever that's going to change the world. The public forgets about the fact that it was a huge in thing 20-30 years ago and tons of people by it up to find out it serves no real purpose and we become tired of it. AI will continue to be used as it has been for years now. But the fact is AI still has the same issues it always has just like you can't watch a 3D movie still without 3D glasses. You can change the glasses, make it look cooler, give it some new features. But the underlying issues are still there. So it dies out after everyone figures this out and grows tired of it. AI is the same thing. Wait for a while and you'll see.
@@user-he1yb7pl1w AI research has been making a lot of progress for years before ChatGPT entered the public consciousness, though.
I think it's impossible to say whether we're at the start of another plateau (with the next big breakthrough being in decades time), or whether this is a stepping stone to even more and faster progress in the near future.
Teenager from 1500: "I just bought the newest sword."

Before smartphone there were these things called "Encyclopedias". They had like 20-30 parts and took several meters of shelf space. They were probably somewhat out of data, but you did find almost anything. And the information was pretty accurate too, unlike today. Door-to-door salesmen used to sell them to people. At least in some countries.
Well, yes, but such knowledge was a luxury. Just like today it doesn't have any real use...
@@Infotainment-cb6cyYou ain't kidding. Some guys have to decide between buying their daughter a set of encyclopedias or buying a new trailer home.
There were also things like libraries which contained books and depending on the specific library, had almost every subject you might want to know. Inter-library loans could get those books which were not on the local shelf. The pace of life was slower so we didn't demand instant knowledge gratification and so were content to go to the library when it was convenient to look something up.
@@martink8080 Good points. I would also add that as a kid in the 80s/90s, it was almost a game to debate the answer to one of those conundrums if the answer wasn't easily at hand. It wasn't uncommon for me to see a friend at school on Monday and show them the evidence to prove my argument from 3 days earlier.

In 2100, provided by some miracle im alive, id be 111 years old. Id look like that old prune grandma from Spongebob that always yelled "WHAAAAAT?!" 😂
Assuming humanity doesn't take a wrong turn, by 2100 living to 111 years old will be common, so much so that it may not even be retirement age. In fact some people speculate that the first person to live to 1000 years old has already been born. Very interesting topic to look up.

If anybody is wondering, the earliest known novel that could be considered science fiction is called "A True Story", made in the second century AD by the Syrian author Lucian of Samosata. It includes interplanetary travel and warfare, hybrid alien lifeforms (apparently robots even), an account of a telescope that can see an entire terrestrial body, and other things.
i heard that he wrote it because there was trend at the time for tales of travelling and encountering fantastic sights or creatures, basically a trend for tall tales that provided status for the teller of these tales. He decided to extrapolate these ideas to the extreme because he felt these stories had become ridiculous and accidently invented science fiction.
Atlantis is older
But atlantis was by all accounts a telling of historical events, not science fiction according to those in ancient times @pairot01

@@candidate17 It was a story told by a character in Plato's Republic (not Plato himself) about a hypothetical nation that punished Athens for hubris. Athens did not exist as a city-state at the time depicted in the story, so it too was hypothetical.
Great video as always man! My mom was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia a number of years ago, and found she was eligible for a special medication treatment / study. She took it regularly for about 2 1/2 years, without chemo, and has recently found out she's in remission. If she's still clear after 2025 they're going to use her case as a study in a paper to try to get the medication mass produced. There is absolutely progress in that field, and I'm happy because not only will people benefit from that, but I love my mom and she gets to stick around.
That's amazing! I hope your mom gets better soon
That's amazing for sure! Thanks for sharing, best of wishes to you and your mom
have her avoid food coloring and other artificial ingredients as best she can, all petrooeum and metal byproduct based and not nearly as safe as claimed.. coming from someone whos kid and themself are hypersensitive. some genetics it causes immense problems but esp. those with auto-immune or auto-inflammatory disorders or undefined meeical mysteries in the family. my studies on it have left me pretty sure theyre the biggest part of why america leads in obesity, mental disorders, autism, digestive disorders. and cancers. body treats them like a foreign body and attacks them and whatever body part theyre attaching to.. my son goes from savant level high functioning autistic to non verbal, head slamming from migraine, kicking and squeeling violent.. all from red food dye. we cant take most synthetic based medications without paradoxical worsening effects that worsen with increased dose. 95 percent of foods and meds are full of it, kids otc meds especially. best i can tell the average person when adjusting for concentrated forms, prob consumes 2 fluid ounces of petroleum, metal, and plastic byproducts per week. among other issues I ended up developing a form of rectal cancer like my grandfather cept where normally its only seen age 45 and up, i got it bout age 21 and found age 28. was still a pre-cancer but still check bi-yearly to make sure since they werent expecting more than hemorrhoids and removed it unknowingly til after. genetic predisposition and linked to food dye in a euro study.
That's so cool! They figured out how to cure that by genetically editing people's bone marrow and injecting it back into them in China, badly uncovered in the states, but it sounds like that happened after your mom started these meds.
I love how much hope for the future these stories can bring.
Cancer parades through my family, yet by the time my nieces and nephews are old enough to worry about cancer, it will probably be destroyed, or at least close to it.
Reading other people's thoughts is the ultimate nightmare
.
We used to use libraries, help groups, churches, newspapers, made phone calls... one of the best examples is the " life line " in TV game shows... basically call the smartest person you know. Some books that people read included cookbooks, dictionaries, encyclopedia sets, and magazines
Remember when we'd organize to meet up with friends at the cinema in the 90s? We'd set the time, and just assume they'd turn up. No messages, no phones.
Definitely, we were way more accountable back in those days.
We remembered people's home numbers off by heart.
We were definitely more trusting ,but also quite gullible at times.. 🤔🫠
She never showed up. I'm still standing outside the cinema. It's a Starbucks now.
@@mroctober3657 lol..
Lol dude that’s like using a hammer and chisel
I remember just riding bikes around until all your friends eventually joined up and then you planned what to actually do.
My 12 year old son bought me a 3D printer for Christmas, and I've been printing absolutely everything I've ever dreamed of ever since.
In other words, you bought yourself a 3D printer for Christmas.
Can you print me a 3d printer
How much was it? I'm really wanting to know more getting one
Like a new boat? It can only go so far :)
My wife's husband was really generous this year, and bought me a Geiger counter and a thermal camera 😆.
A lot of people love 3D Printing, but I'm pretty certain every single one of us understands exactly why, in it's current form, it's not been adopted by the masses. It's slow, it's loud, it fails (a lot), the plastic feels crappy, most printers can only print in one colour, you need to sand it if you want it to look good, etc. Despite a lot of companies trying to convince people otherwise, it's still very much in its early adopter phase.
That painting at 2:47 looks utterly serene. Life was so much more physically and emotionally demanding back then, but also so much simpler.
Also you should do a whole video about "Rapture" the fictional city from the Bioshock series which you included a picture of in this video, and how it parallels with some of the underwater living predictions that you mentioned here.
I think it’s cool that people in 100 years will have so much info about how we perceived the future. Assuming we make it that long of course
I thought about this and I don't believe this is true. The issue is that a lot is tied up in social media. There are projects to save a lot of this but not everything will be saved.
@@JacobSantosDev so kind of like a futuristic burning of the library of Alexandria?
@@zombreon6021 yes. There have already been examples of social media/forums platforms and digital platforms failing and shutting down. All of that data is just being lost.
There are good reasons for some of this content to be lost but imagine in 20 to 40 years where Facebook could be. If Facebook shuts down how much will be lost. It is possible that Twitter may not exist in 5 years (it could be sold but there is also no guarantee that older tweets will exist on Twitter. Again there are projects to archive tweets but they can't and won't capture everything especially with the API changes.
@@zombreon6021 While the Great Library did experience fires (with that much papyrus around that many oil lamps, how could it not?), what did it in was lack of support.
Basically, nobody wanted to spend the money needed to maintain the collection, or the structure, or keep people employed there to take care of things.
It was a failure of vision by the leaders of the city that killed the Library of Alexandria, not some dramatic event.
Basically, the weak-minded politicians thought it was too expensive.
We will. I would bet everything on it. Humans are stubbornly resilient. And we love to play it risky right up to the edge of the cliff and then we become extremely effective at averting crisis at the 11th hour.

@kevinlittle498 you can get a concussion wearing a helmet ...
I agree with your point at 16:33, I mean I’ve noticed hats already coming back into style recently anyway with boonie hats, bucket hats, fisherman beanies, trucker caps, etc.
Every car communicates with each other, the road charges your car while you drive, smart city infrastructure/traffic systems
As for your first point, The Obama administration started to implement a program where cars could communicate with each other but Trump squashed it. Could’ve been a brilliant innovation. Less traffic jams, better fuel economy, less car accidents, etc.
As a time traveler I gotta say it is a privilege to see this, most of our youtube records went extinct after Alexa took over the world and started The Purge in 2052. And no, there are no flying cars.

After all these insane wars where all the handsome young men are nothing but cannon fodder, There must at least be a few old ones left with working balls.

Much love bro. Great video once again. 👏
It’s amazing how good the audio is on your videos.
People only really started predicting the future after the start of the Industrial Revolution. Because progress was imperceptibly slow prior to that.
Exactly
Exactly this! And even today boomers and earlier generations largely assume that their kids and grand kids have similar lives to what they had... And it just isn't true. Like, all of the difference they had with their grand parents happens every 2-3 years.
To put it in perspective, it is easier to play slides and film that my dad took in high school then it is for me to play back the miniDV tapes that I made when I was in high school.
Nostradamus published his prophecies in 1555 in which he predicted your comment.
6:18 moving platforms wasn't a prediction, they actually existed & looked just like that around that time.

@@joescott you forgot to mention country dominance, I here alot of people talking about how India may become a superpower and China may collapse. The US will swing like always, and Europe will be Europe. Canada will probably legalize "medical assistance in dieing" for healthy individuals.

I just discovered your channel, super interesting, thank you!!
Thanks. I’ve been losing sleep about the future and this helped. Focus on what one can change is good advice.
Excellent video! At the 12 minute mark I can answer the question regarding how we got information. As a boomer myself it was primarily 2 things: the first was to look it up in an encyclopedia and the second was to find someone who was 'smart' on a subject. I did the second quite a bit as a teenager trying to learn about electronics. I'd go bug the hell out of my uncle who had a TV repair shop. He enjoyed sharing his knowledge and also enjoyed that I could help him load the TVs into his truck and go with him to deliver them. Good times.
I'm GenX and in my day it was still more or less the same - find a more experienced person to show you the ropes or go to a library to look it up (there were also encyclopediae on CDs at the time, but they were still just digitized text, the audio/video side of it wasn't all that developed yet).
We used paper shopping lists and paper maps (ooooh, no GPS!) to get around places we weren't familiar with - as I kid it was usually my job to be the "navigator" when we went for vacation. When we still got lost in spite of my uber nav skillz, my dad would pull up and ask the locals :) But only after being forced so by my mom - because dad NEVER got lost :)
What else? Oh, keeping up with events - radio, TV and tons of newspapers and magazines - kids/teenagers also had specialized magazines like Bravo (in Europe) where you could keep up with celebrity life....
Major difference - we were more interconnected and interdependent. We still are, but indirectly - I mean whatever you consume on your smartphone still has to be written by someone (although studies show that AI/bots and other types of automates scripts constitute as much as 45% of total web content!).... But they were.. different times. I'm an optimist and I believe we'll have those times again, but hopefully not because of a major military conflict but through pure oversaturation and boredom with tech... People are never boring :)
>
Interestingly I also used to bug the TV repair guy in my town to try and learn about electronics. And I would buy magazines about electronics too :)
Late millenial here and the first big purchase made with my own money was an encyclopedia, they were still pretty useful for most of the 2000s. I was shocked to see them going out of business as fast as they did becaue I thought there would always be enough technophobes to have a decent niche market.
@@DarqiceI was born in 91. I remember the paper maps and my familyusing them on vacations, and still get one at the rest areas on the interstate of every state I go to. My father used to always stop and ask for directions, and I do too. Locals are usually really helpful.
The 35 things is because baby and child death is also calculated into overall life experiences and we really have improved life for various age groups, not just the oldest ..... really love your views on science and videos. Keep em coming. Thanks
You’re so funny. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you.
Tottaly enjoyed listening to you talk about stuff. Good job
i think the problem with 3D printing currently is that its still very complicated to do, or at the very least not approachable to the average person. If one day we have a system where you literally just press a "checkout" button on an Amazon-type site and have the print start automatically, then I could see it becoming more widespread. it needs to exactly as easy as online shopping for the "print it at your house" part to be worth it to the average consumer imo
And the printers that are available on a consumer-ish level are soooo slow. It can take hours to print a simple plastic toys. Pretty sure I could order a box of LEGOs online and have them delivered in less time than it would be to print all those components on the type of 3D printer I, as an average person, have access to. And those are tiny toy plastic blocks, useful for education and recreation, but not for, example, constructing a retaining wall, never mind an actual building. I’m sure that industry has 3-D printers that are faster, and use more durable materials, but I agree with you. (Or, at least I think I’m understanding you correctly.) I can see 3D printers changing manufacturing in 100 years, but I think there still will *be* manufacturing and distributor(s) before the end product reaches the consumer.
3d printing at the current stage is like dot matrix printing, if you remember that. Paper with the holes on the sides you had to tear off afterwards. One day, hopefully, 3d printing will be like laser printing in comparison to dot matrix printing. Speed is a huge factor, but ease of use is a bigger one. Solve either of those issues and you'll make millions. Solve both and you'll make billions.
User friendly in 3d printing needs to come from lookimg at what was done with CNC processing. Uh. Not the kind of CNC your neighbors do and enjoy but Computer Numerical Control. The tools where standardized then computers started taking over the numerical plotting, all going back to a standard file format, and now the machines can tell what tools are loaded in if they are good or dull they make it as safe and simple as possible for a high power multi ton machine whipping around.
Where as 3D printers tried to take the oppsite direction trying to take from paper printing, but allowing (sometimes) standard formats for the files, meanwhile not every control box can accept multi-media printing thats an issue, and the multi media heads are locked behind each print companies IP etc etc etc, and none of them have agreed on a srandard for just selling the raw materials or labeling them or somehow communicating with the machine what the feed rates, step hight and heat needs to be.
And thats an issue. It should be considerably more to teach someone how to run a CNC milling machine but I can take anyone even if its thier first job and they are a grade school drop out; and teach them how to operate a CNC and usually files will work across all machines no problem, might have to make a few tweaks here and there if the file came from a Haas but thats about it.
Yet 3D printing requires a lot more thought...
Dont even get me going about multimaterial heads 😅. That should just be the defacto standard so you can have prints that you just dunk in water when done and have them done.
@@AnonymousAnarchist2 CNC milling and 3d printing are basically in the same state right now, as far as entry level learning is concerned.
But (7ish?) years ago, everyone expected 3d printing to be a one button push kinda thing. No one has ever expected CNC operation to be that, because it seems complicated to the lay person, and it definitely is.
If you could solve making CNC operations (subtractive manufacturing) easy, you'd be just as successful as the person who makes 3d printing easy.
My mom just got me a 3D Printer for Christmas. She was _so_ proud that she was able to do it, and in fact she had originally ordered the cheapest $125 model from the manufacturer but got an email from them a few weeks earlier informing her that they were out of stock, but by that point it was just a week away from Christmas. So my mom replied to them that now it was too late to find another gift, and to compensate they sent their _$300 model_ for the same price, and even threw in a kilogram spool of filament.
So now I have a really awesome 3D Printer that I have _no clue what to actually do with._ But mom mom was _so_ proud that she could get it for me, so I'm going to have to try something, and I have seen some absolutely rad BattleMech miniatures and figures on Etsy that people have created themselves, and maybe I can find some of the 3D models that they used to print them. Or try to design my own D&D miniatures, even though my gaming group has never used minis to play in our 30+ years (and we have no desire to do so.)
I always think of the monitors in the book 1984 where in your house there’s always a TV screen with people talking on it, and it can never be turned off can only be turned down very low. To me that’s exactly what the Internet is. I don’t see how Orwell thought of that so well.
Indeed. If we end up with a hat that can beam images directly into our brains, it'll be used for ads.
@@mallninja9805 Ads and political propaganda.
I'm personally blown away by how E.M. Forster managed to predict humans living in a machine 40 years before Orwell published 1984. Spoiler Alert: the title is "The Machine Stops."
cuz he understood the relationship between government and us lowly expendable citizens
It's worse. Your phone and your computer watch are always listening to you. You can't turn Siri off.
Thank you for this video
Love all that you included and your analysis comes as logical.
As a retired senior, not far from age 70, I will read articles about tech that's being worked on now and think.. Wow that's so cool, it's going to be so awesome and then I do the math and quickly realize unless there are substantial advancements in the human lifespan I'm really unlikely to see or experience most of these cool technologic marvels. I try not to be sad about it but think about my son and grandchildren geting to live in the years that will get to see these wonders that I never will.
Will I make it long enough to see brain chips implanted so my Spanish will be on point? Will I get to see self driving cars be the norm? The older I get the less exciting the future seems. I really wanted to live to see nanotech use become commonplace. I wanted to walk or glide up to the nanobot vending machine on my hoverboard and scan my palm or eye to buy a block of nanobots that could transform with their programing into a new recliner Or a slinky dress and high heels for the night. At the very least I want a realistic robot friend and helper and a food and drink replicator that dispenses healthy food and drink...lol.
I’m 71 I think if we make it to 80 most of or medical issues will be gone which means we should see 100 or more unless of course we kill our selfs living poorly
Almost all of this so-called futurism and tech is science fiction, and fairy tales. You were fortunate enough to live through the best period of American life. You could easily buy your own house, and a new car. You knew people, your face was not glued to a phone all day. Travel was not expensive, destinations were unique and had a character. Our national parks were not glorified Disneyland. Roads were good, gas was cheap and a decent hotel was $30. You could snorkel among living ocean corals and see native fish in the waters. Today it's all ruined, it's crap. You are not going to miss anything. Enjoy the rest of your life happily and proudly, and do not risk your well being on any of these schemes, offered by billionaires looking for human guinea pigs.
Eh as stated in the video the emergence of a super AI would change everything in ways we can't even comprehend right now and with the rate of ai advancements I've seen in just the last few years it might happen before the end of the decade, it could make us functionality immortal over night...assuming it doesn't wipe us out instead.
If you believe in reincarnation (the non-religious kind), then you can look forward to experiencing those things yourself. Though, of course, any time you grow up in will be plain and normal for you.
... BUT it's very possible to marvel at everything in any time.
You've seen more technolological advancements than any generation in history. So i dont understand how you're sad about not seeing more rather than marveling at what you have seen. With that mindset even if you saw everything you listed you would consider it the norm and expect still much much more
Prediction: improved sporks. These will be a game changer.
I think they've maxed out, the poem "the owl and the pussycat" mentions a "runcible spoon," so it's been through quite a few iterations
This was a lot of fun, thanks Joe. Would love to be around then if I can make it to 143 lol. Now off to check out your Celera 500L and space elevator videos, and oh rocket money too.
I really like this video and how you express it
2:00 On this point, another thing that people don't realise is relatively recent is the very _idea_ of absolute time, in the sense of years.
Historically, in most cultures, people commonly reckoned years with reference to the current ruler, or something like the chinese zodiac, which is cyclical. So you might see 'in the fifth year of king/emperor blah blah' or 'in the year of Yin Water Rooster'. A small number of educated elite might have had cause to use Anno Domini or to piece together how many years it had been since the Yellow Emperor reigned, but the primary reference frame of time was very contemporary, within the memories of living people.
When you think about it, this fundamentally constrains the ability of people to conceive of the distant past or future. When saying '1500 AD' or '2500 AD ' feels unfamiliar, and instead you think in terms of 'in the fifth year of a monarch who lived hundreds of years ago who I don't know much about' or 'during the hypothetical reign of the current kings great x20 grandson, assuming we aren't conquered or experience dynastic change'. It's much harder keep a consistent sense of chronology in your head, which in turn obscures the view of bigger-picture history, especially when there is relatively slow technological and societal change.
One of the big things related to time is that there have been massive periods, hundreds to thousands of years and longer, where people didn't expect things to ever been different, because things stayed much the same for generation after generation.
What would it be like for your great grand children?
What kind of question is that, it would be like it always is.
You'll be living in the same town, in the same house, doing the same things.
Quite insightful, thank you
I grew up with the first modem - it was a keyboard with a telephone receiver (you actually put the land line phone, ear piece and microphone, into the receiver cradle) and dialed up the number. There were no monitors, just a paper feed which produced the two way communication; your input from the keyboard and the response from the other end. It took about 7 years before they produced the monitor. Back then, when we needed to know something, we went to libraries.
Yes I have fond memories of the days of dial up modems and bulletin boards. My first girlfriend's brother had a BBS and after his sister gave us his password we locked him out of his own BBS for two months; this is why you should always be nice to your sister.
We had two phone lines with one line dedicated to the computer. Sometimes it would take a week to download the numerous and very large (for the time) files I wanted.
Thank goodness for Dewey
I am not from such generation, but I am from an era when it could, and often did take hours to download a 3MB file. Such files would have to be divided into 3 volumes so that they would fit into 3 floppy disks. The file would then have to be combined from the 3 disks before it could be used.
My first computer had a 64MB graphics card, and it was regarded as top quality Nvidia card when Nvidia was worth a fraction of what it is worth today.
CPU's were relatively slow, most operating systems were ridiculously vulnerable to viruses and network breaches alike. Permanent storage devices had little capacity, which, in the end, was irrelevant as internet and intranet connections were painfully slow even under the best protocols. Relatively simple simulations would take days to complete (if the operating system did not crash in the meantime).
On top of that, the whole experience was very noisy, and having multiple machines in a room would raise the temperature rather quickly and significantly. Nice in winter, not so nice in the summer.
But... 30 years from now, people will have similar levels of complaint over today's machines, especially if quantum computing makes its big break towards the masses in that timeframe.
@@leoarc1061 Sounds advanced. :)
My first "computer" was an Atari 800XL with 16K of RAM; no hard drive. It had a 5 1/4" inch floppy drive. I generally played games off a cartridge because it had onboard storage, but I once played a role-playing game from floppy and it took 20 floppy discs. Every time I walked into a new room I had to swap the floppy.
@@leoarc1061 I remember when youtube first came out we'd click the video and go play PS2 while it buffered and whoever wasnt playing GTA (if you die you swap) would monitor it. They'd be like "its ready!" and we'd pause the game and watch Fred or whatever for 5 mins and then que up another video and rinse repeat. It took like 4 times as long to buffer the video as to watch it.
I dont think YT videos even buffer at all anymore, only 30 seconds ahead and 30 seconds behind.
I remember when basic physics simulations were ground breaking. 20 years later every single video game has physics. Like... once upon a time you simply COULD NOT render water. It was literally impossible. It always looked terrible.
I remember when Crysis/Far Cry hit. All anyone talked about was the fkn water lol
Congratulations on another great video, Joe! It is nigh unto impossible to discern accurate visions of what lies so far ahead of us, but in dragging your rake through all that is and might be, you have come up with many realistic ideas. We just don't know, for all the usual reasons that we can't know. I think something akin to natural selection comes into play whenever we consider past/present/and future developments in technology and culture. Many, many ideas are tried; some are useful for the short-term, some for longer. Eventually, most get left along the wayside in favor of something better, or easier, or more useful. It is fun to take stock on all of what there is and on all of the possibilities.
I can't believe that woman didn't think to Google "how did people live before the Internet".
Hey Joe, I really liked the question in about 12 minutes in the video: "What did people do before they were able to look up an answer to a question. And did they just accept not knowing ?". I believe there are generally 2 groups of people. Maybe 70% - who would just accept not knowing. And like 30% who would try to find the answer. So I would like to share 2 ways of doing it. My favorite way was , asking people. First I would ask my parents, than i would double-check with my teachers in school. And lastly 9 in future I would listen to people's conversations to mention somebody being an expert on a subject and I will triple-check my question with the expert. It is a very easy way to actually remember an answer - when you had 3 conversations about it. Another way was given to my by my father : to go to the library. I was never good with that, i would usually go to the fiction department of the library and get distracted. It will be fun to make a special video on more ways to solve the problem. I believe most of your viewers are in the "curious" 30%.
And as epilogue a popular joke (making fun of the new generation) : People in 19 century believed that the limited access to information was the main cause for people being stupid - 21 century proved that theory Wrong !
That sounds about right. Information was harder to come by back then but it also felt more rewarding to figure something I was wondering about.
But in a way, information can be hard today too since you easily can get the opposite information from 2 different sources so I think getting something wrong is easier now while admitting you just didn't know something was easier back then.
Then again, today you usually have someone fact checking people if you are a few discussing something (even though their fact checking also might be wrong).
Today, you really have to check the sources really carefully.
Encyclopedias 😎
Knowledge requires energy and thats why most people just opted out of knowledge seeking game. Internet has certainly lowered energy cost of for individual. Still most people just don't check and surely don't double check.
Past then, if you have born in non-english speaking part of the world, language really was major blockade to most current knowledge. And still is, but there is more translations accumulations at present.
Effort makes knowledge more personal and you are more likely to remember it (compensation for sunken cost). Fast internet has made that part too easy. Google as substitution for memory.
"Library skills" still have use at ouside of libraries. You need to tickle search engines with right words, Jump to reference lists head first and dig deep to link-trees.
One thing still is really unchanged. There is too big of fantasy department in Internet, that can suck you in (I was kid , who read almost all fantacy/scifi books from library)
People can get information when they look up from their devices and see what’s going on in front them, If they’re stuck inside maybe they can look outside. Obviously everyone sees things differently, so there may never be a consensus on what’s actually happening, and so I think it’s best to understand that nobody can know everything, but we might get a clearer picture that works for us. I’m constantly trying to filter out, useless information such as infotainment, advertorial and uninformed commentary.
Sounds like they were mostly correct. Limited access to "accurate" information was the main cause for people being "less informed"
I mean... we have transmitted a mouse memory of solving a maze from one side of the planet to the other electronically and matrixed it into a mouse that had never been in any maze at all and it immeadiately went down the correct paths and to the correct gates. I picture ratatouille saying "I know Kung-Fu."
So the wealthy will learn how to play the piano through brain waves and the poor will receive job training through an aux cord instead of talking to a human.
did that mouse survive? because that's pretty cool
when will scientists make me a scientist
I've never heard of that.
I’d like to see a reference as that sounds like BS and I can’t find anything even sci-fi references.
Great to see you recommended to me again m8
I saw a documentary a few years ago about ageing, and one of the researchers said that he thought that the first person to live for 1000.years is already alive
Sir Arthur lived to see that prediction come true, he did it himself. He collaborated on "2010" with Peter Hyams from his home in Sri Lanka via computer and modem. Such a legend!
I think the other side of that fact, is that it took a remarkable intellect the level of Arthur C Clarke to correctly predict the future.
Meaning, future guessing is no easy task lol
The movie Brainstorm with Natalie Wood (her last film) was about a device that could record a person's mental experiences and play them back into someones else's brain and enable them to re-live that persons experience complete with every one of their senses including vision. The still movie holds up pretty well after all these years.
Strange days
The point of that movie was, the device was actually the ultimate lie detector. That's why the govt. Wanted it.
@@gregoryhagen8801I don't recall that exact detail but I do recall the usual evil govt subplot.
great show. thanks.
i set an alarm on my phone for new year’s day 2100! hope i remember to watch this video at 98 years old
The fact that two unrelated videos from the past week or so mentioned the whale bus indepently of each other is mindblowing to me. Just watched KnowledgeHusk's video living underwater yesterday and watching this I was like, really whale bus again!?? And I have never heard of that in my life up until this point.
Hehe, I saw that too. 😄
Joe mentioned the whale bus a couple of years ago. I think the video was about old predictions of the present day. Some article predicted there would be things like ant-men, bird-men, and Joe went through the list. Pause. "That's like half the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
everyone's asking "where is the whale bus?" but not "how is the whale bus?" 😢🐋🐳
Joe, you're definitely one of my favorite CZcamsrs. You've help me consider what 2100 would look like. Prior I just imagine the possible doom and gloom of the next ten years. Thinking further into the future actually gave me a sense of comfort. Thank you.
Nice!
I agree totally!
@NicolasLunaFilms turn off the news, delete the news apps, find information from non-biased sources and consider your time and feelings above the sensationalism being blasted at you.
@@gsantee I agree and I do watch unbiased and bias news sources. I did not mean for this to be a partisan comment. I was just congratulating for making me feel better. Peace ✌️

Outstanding content
This is awesome!
I think a video on previous "future predictions" and what they got right , what they got wrong, and REASONS why that happened, could be interesting.
I remember predictions about how the internet would develop from back in 1996/7. They completely missed the negatives and were far too optimistic about the positives - it seems to me they ignored human nature, especially what most would consider the negative aspects.
Only thing past predictions got right were video calling, but they couldn't predict how most people are self-conscious about their looks and don't want to put on makeup or look nice just to take a call. As for why things like flying cars, smart-homes, and Dehydrated Food never became a thing: Rule of Cool is more impressive than Rule of Practicability. Most things predicted for the future are either too expensive, very unnecessary, highly dangerous, or some mix of the them all, like Flying Cars.
Back in the 1950s I looked things up in an encyclopedia. We had a World Book encyclopedia (20+ volumes) in our house. The other option was to go to the library. Newspapers and magazines were an important source of information. I was an avid reader of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. And techno-dweebs of the day Ham Radios (shortwave) were an available but rare device that enabled two-way communications (Morse Code) to other devices anywhere around the world. As a kid I had a neighbor with a big antenna in his back yard for his Ham Radio.
Growing up in the 80s was the same with encyclopedias and libraries. Somehow we stopped caring about ham radios by then though. I guess that's because local phone calls were free by then.
A bunch of my friends are into Ham radio, it's making a bit of a comeback.
I was so glad when I didn't have to refer to card catalogs at the library anymore.
And we can already create virtual universes its called dreaming and wayyyyyy more immersive than any tech could be if you spent half the time practising your control of your own mind rather than a screen youd be amazed at what becomes possible
I remember thinking how you must be rich to be able to own a 20+ volume encyclopedia and how awesome it was. I'd spend hours a day pouring through encyclopedias.
IMO, the car is so popular in the states due to the distances to places. We will drive a car 2 hours to shop in a large city (on any given weekend) if you live in a rural area.
I do think about how i used to access information or find out about things i wanted to know about and my best answer is "The Library". Books, magazines, newspapers all there to be devoured.
In 1900, the French saw the most advanced technology as a motorized skateboard. Also synchronized sound for the movies using a cylinder player. Little did they know. I learned this thru a series of postcards titled: L'ans 2000. Very interesting.
Crazy Fact: Meet the Robinsons was made in 2007 and takes place in the future of 2037. We are now closer to 2037 than we are to 2007 (I was born in 2007 and I’m currently 16 btw). Crazy to think about.
Mate have you listened to Bob Dylan? Do eeeet.
You really are a child if you've never heard of the book, _A Day with Wilbur Robinson,_ let alone considered looking it up with a simple Google search and seeing it as the first result on Wikipedia under "Meet The Robinsons." That book was made almost twenty years before the movie. Almost everything made past 2000 isn't an original idea and just a reboot or remake of something else... Except John Wick.
11:10 Joestradamus 🤣🤣🤣 Now that is funny! 🤣🤣🤣
it is so incredible to imagine what things in the future that I will NOT own but will somehow be happy?
I walked out of a hotel in Boston a couple years ago and saw a billboard on the side of a building sponsored by Tufts that said “The first person to live to be 150, is alive today. Pretty cool.
I didn't sponsor that 🫣😅🧐😜
@@NathanTuftsPark If you're like most universities today that have turned into mega-business points, then you may have and just not gotten the memo.
I wouldn't count on it. Even if we could extend the average human lifespan to 150 years, that wouldn't necessarily be a good thing. Look around you. We already have younger gens bitching about the, "older people", and "boomers", keeping their jobs and not selling their houses, thereby depriving Millennials and GenZ's of housing and employment. (What do they expect GenX's and Boomers to do? Stop working and starve to death?)
I doubt it
I used to work at Tufts medical and I remember seeing that!
"You are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower."
"This prediction about the future from 1997 - *chik fil a advert*"... it was timed so damned perfectly.
I swear to god at 14:22 the "segway to brilliant/skillshare" reading was off the charts
Arthur C Clarke was surprisingly accurate in his predictions. He also predicted 3D printing
Clarke actually made some of the future happen. He invented the idea of synchronous orbiting satellites, which now hundreds exist.
When I was lost, I remember having to mess around with paper maps (I hated that) and or asking people around if lost and also going to gas stations to ask for directions. Times sure have changed. And years later, I would open my GPS only when absolutely necessary because the cost of data was insane. Now, I have over 15GB of data for cheap and use the GPS for most of my trips...
LOL a quick cameo from Ernest P. Worrell - still catching up to all of your videos.
Rangefinders are definitely used in photography, some cameras even have them built-in. That is the only reason I can think of to have one with you in such a venue. I haven't heard anything about him having a camera with him though.
"Sure let's talk about that" nearly made me spew coffee out of my nose. Well done, Joe.
Joestradamus could easily crank out a 10 minutes "Predictavision" episode a couple of times a year, perhaps around new years. I'd watch that.
i read a short story from like 1920 where i guy pretty much pulled cell phone from his pocket to talk on
I liked that video you did of those "YOU WILL" adds of the future made in the early 1990s.
Air traffic control seems exactly like the kind of job that AI would take over
Tbh, Traincontroll in Europe could already be done completely by ai. It's a system that's already mostly functioning alone, with every accident that happend in the last 10years being people making calls over the system. But systems failing shuts down everything, which is a problem. Same for air travel, pilots already do basically nothing, but if the systems fail, it's Better to have a pilot than nobody
Exactly
I think battery powered cars will be a distant memory in 2100. Currently, battery powered cars have an average life of roughly 10 years. A used car market is at best a 9 year old car. They will have to do better.
Additionally, recycling of cars and their spent batteries is still a problem.
@@gordonadams5891 U have to take into account that battery powered cars are in their early stages now, used batteries already have use cases in energy storage, but that's very niche as well. I don't know if we still use cars in 2100 or if we do, if they are powered by batteries, but it's gonna be interesting nonetheless.
Yeah but the low hanging fruit would be to digitise the protocol rather than having atc’s and pilot babbling almost indecipherable quips to each other via voice and all the attending issue and misunderstandings that brings. But this basic feature which is a logical precondition to AI controlled airspace seems no closer.
I remember asking my Dad in the 80's what music would be like in the year 2000. He said "Probably something like what your brother is listening to". My brother was listening to AxelF from Beverly Hills Cop at the time.
Not that far off, to be honest!
Crazy Frog has entered the chat.
I mean, crazy frog was 2003...
My dad said it would be awful electronic noise like chainsaws and high pitched squeals. He was right too!
He couldn't have predicted Who Let The Dogs Out? or The Thong Song.
Yeah, I'm in the "monsters and superheroes are not sci-fi" camp.
Great video

Even going to sleep with them listening to a pod cast.
Thank you.
I think the main reason that 3d printing hasn't become more universally popular is because until just *very* recently there was no printer that you could just buy and take out of the box and start using. They always required a lot of setup and calibration and tinkering. But now, spurred on by Bambu Labs, we have a bunch of printers that "just work" right out of the box. This is going to be a game changer.
Yeah this is what I was thinking. I don't watch any channels that focus specifically on printers but I do watch a few podcasts where people who do a lot of printing, if not print channels specifically, guest relatively frequently and when the hosts would ask "Well what printer should someone new to printing buy?" they just go full deer-in-headlights mode which to me says that there isn't(wasn't) any printer on the market that grandma would be able to use
@@thesoloveichiks159 What makes you not like Bambu Labs? I have just seen a few ads and have an Anycubic Photon myself because I don't like how slow and rough looking the fdm printers are.
That is what daunted me about buying one. Thanks for the info. 😅
It's the plastic waste that has stopped me personally, especially when you're just playing around or making toys and such. The second there's affordable, easily recyclable and/or biodegradable plastics I'll be on those things like butter on bread
I have always been fascinated by 3d printers. I am a very experienced 3d modeler so I could build literaly anything, but I can never think of anything I would want to print.
this has instantly gotta be one of my favorite videos of yours purely because of the amount of callbacks to previous videos. feels like all of those videos from EV and battery advancements to the more recent ones such as the accelerationism video and the smartglasses (from the end of the smartphone era video) were all building up to this one. I found myself constantly agreeing with all of your conservative predictions, almost to identical extents. great video, as has come to be expected of this channel
I agree with most of it, with the exception of batteries. Many of these battery start-ups are straight up vaporware looking to dupe naive investors. It's sad but true. I mean, people have been saying there will be a revolution in batteries for a half century now. And in those 50 years, the only thing we've gotten has been lithium ion (I'm including all lithium batteries here, including Li polymer, Li cobalt, manganese, etc). Yes, some of these fantastic new batteries work and are awesome. So why the pessimism you ask? First I'd say it's not pessimism but realism. Almost all of these wonder batteries (the ones that aren't straight-up vaporware) have the same issue; large scale manufacturing. Being able to mass produce it, and then being able to do it cheaply enough to turn a profit. The first rechargeable Li-Ion battery was made in the mid 70s. Yet, we didn't see them in our consumer devices for nearly 25 years after. It took a quarter of a century to be able to mass produce a relatively simple liion battery. Some of these fancy new batteries won't ever make it to production because it's just not going to be feasible or profitable. Take carbon nanotubes for example; the first carbon nanotube was synthesized in 1991 (though they've been studied since the 1950s), it's been 30 years and we're still no closer to mass producing enough of them to build a shirt, let alone a space elevator. All I'm trying to say is many of these battery start-ups are straight up scams looking to bilk hopeful and optimistic people out of their hard-earned money. And since most of you are not research scientists with several degrees in material science, chemistry, and electrical engineering, you're not going to be well educated enough to make an informed decision, or even have an informed opinion on the matter. Myself included (I'm a complete moron, I just happen to be a self-aware moron).
I will be 91 years old in 2100 I hope I'm alive by then so I can experience the beginning of a new century
You should think of a way to preserve this video for 80 years. This could be a whole project to make multiple videos about.
I have conversations all the time with people I know around the same age about how we grew up without internet, and use it now and can know the answers to everything instantly. But I know what I did back then, read things and looked things up in libraries, asked people Etc. And yes I had to wait until
I could go find the info. But yet all the time I think how lost I’d be without internet, even though I have lived before it existed in my lifetime. It’s bizarre.
You also just gave up on looking many things up and forgot about them.
I know. Growing up in the 90s, whenever we went on a holiday to a place we didn't know we had to read maps. I remember actually understanding them. Now I can't imagine not checking google maps for that
I thoroughly enjoyed the length and content of this video. I'm looking forward to the future. Thanks, Joestradamus!

Going out of town pre-internet was hard. You would kinda know where to go, get there and stop by gas stations to get directions, and you'd just ask people for directions until you got there. The internet was great as I could then start printing out maps of where to go, then I finally got GPS.
Much like how cell phones or social media have changed everything (but were widely overlooked by most futurists), I'm sure there is something out there right now that is going to change the world in the next 30 to 50 years that we are just not considering right now. Maybe it is virtual reality, which makes leaving your house a thing of the past for the most part... or some type of cybernetic interface finally becoming a thing where we can access everything just by thinking about it, which leads to a kind of techno-telepathy that allows us to exchange information by thoughts, so things like talking become much less common. It is really hard to say where things will go because something that is a new or relatively unknown technology now could end up being a major revolution in the future. Growing up without the internet most of my youth (we did not get dial-up internet until I was in late into high school) and without smart phones until I was out of college and had been working at my job for a few years, the impact that computers and technology have had on my life is really something crazy to think about. I never could of dreamed of things like telecommuting when I first started working for example, but now that's a regular thing.
Maybe the next big thing is duplicating yourself in chip format to be able to conquer the galaxy with nanobots.
There were ancient civilizations that were super advanced, and did not communicate using spoken word. And I understand that they seldom used any type of writing as well, and they found a few objects that were considered communicating, or story telling, & also record keeping, but for the most part, did not actually communicate verbally, however I'd like to think that there is a possibility that they used telepathy. So I agree with you that that is definitely a possibility for us in the near future, and I know that we already have that ability but the government is always going to use it first. For personal gain and for battle.
The best prediction you made was not presented as such: All predictions of the future reflect current anxieties more than future realities. History is chaotic (in the technical sense) and the future is predictable only in the sense that weather is, with the reliability of prediction dropping rapidly the further you go. An interesting video!
@11:11 , give the artist that made that beautiful picture a raise hahaha
4:27 love the Ernest reference lol
outhouse in the dead of winter, the honey wagon, frozen horse feces as a hockey puck and goal posts on the streets....nostalgia
I definitely relate to not remembering what we used to do before smartphones. I was driving with my cousin one time and asked, "What did we do before GPS?" even though I had already done my own road trip with MapQuest + physical road atlas book during college.
Paper maps in the car and road signs
I still don't navigate with a smartphone or GPS as much as possible. I look up what I need to know, and go. Those things completely taken away from people's situational awareness.
I rode my motorcycle from California to Texas last year, 1500 miles each way. I used a piece of tape with directions written down on my fuel tank. That was my GPS.
I will look up how to get there once, then force myself to use landmarks and my own sense of direction to get there. No turn by turn.
Except in cities where it actually doesn't make any sense how to get somewhere with 1 ways and through roads.
Physical maps and planning, always worth planning your journey incase the technology fails
I have had GPS send me down too many bad routes to trust it haha. I still use it from time to time, and it has gotten better since then. But I'm still fairly reluctant to use it and I take it's suggestions with a grain of salt haha.
Some of my favorite cartoons growing up were the "future prediction" style cartoons. Disney did these more, I think (I could easily be wrong), but they were fantastic. Keep up the fine work, my friend. We appreciate your hard work.
Be well and take care.
I had a copy of the Yellow Pages (that was the business section of a "phone book" and much thinner) that I kept under the seat of my car. It had the local map, which was very basic and mostly only showed the most major throughways. So, you left early to drive around and get the exact address right. You could also use a public pay phone to call and get more specific directions when you were stumped. Those used to be on every corner. Another option was rolling the window down and asking a pedestrian. We also asked people at the gas station. And lastly, they did make actual, real life maps that you had to unfold across the entire width of the car and study. And once you unfolded it, it never folded back right again! It used to be kind of an art form and people always got excited if someone on the road trip could do it.
People driving around combustion cars in 2100 would be quite an achievement given that oil runs out before 2070.
Synthetic petroleum?
@@MrMediator24 Which would be generated from electricity - which would require *5 times* the amount of electrical power to produce that you could otherwise use directly and lose next to nothing in conversion to motive traction. So the question would be why on Earth would you ever opt for that? If for nostaglic fun or a hobbyist I get that - but not mainstream transport. Synthetic fuel might have limited application for future of aviation. Little else.
