    my Grandmother likes to tell a story about her father. my grandmother was born in the 1920's and her father passed away while she was in her teens. at some point before he passed he sat her down and told her that before she died she would be able to hold the phone in her hand and see whoever she was speaking to. she is 90 years old and you can hold your cellphone in your hand and make video calls.......

    I was born in 1955. I have watched and experienced a lot of this come to pass and the changes they have brought. It is simply amazing to me but my adult children take it pretty much for granted. I love having such infinite information and communication in my hand. I remember the predictions and thought they were crazy.

      I’m 18 but ever since I was a kid I wondered why people weren’t more impressed by the internet: being able to look up anything instead of searching for a long time in books at the library, playing online games with groups of friends, renting/ buying movies online and watching them in an instant, order things online and have them arrive in one to 5 days, and so on. It’s simply crazy and everyone born into these devices see it as a given and simply don’t care about how revolutionary modern technology is.

      A lot of this seems like a matter of relative perspective.
      Generations can grow up well before or are born in periods of technological advancements and concepts.
      It may not be that long until future generations born are born in an era of common interstellar space flight between Earth, Luna and Mars may look at how we live today on only one planet as bizarre and limited.

      That would extremely hard to do...
      but by the late 1980s a system was available from Radio Shack called a Home Controller..the way it worked was you needed a modem and a computer (Tandy of course) and a handful of controller modules..you would plug the controller module into the wall then plug something into it i.e. a lamp..you would dial home from a touch phone the computer would pick it up... then you would enter a code for which device you wanted to turn on or off the software would send a signal to the controller module ..
      As far as cost you would be into it for at least $2000 (over $4500 in today's money)..

    The one thing I’ve noticed is that they thought we would use different devices for everything. We’d have a device to use as a telephone, another device to email, another device to watch TV. Nowadays we can literally do everything we need on our phone if we wanted. The only reason we’d use a different device like a PC or TV is for a larger display / faster processing.

      " The only reason we’d use a different device like a PC or TV is for a larger display / faster processing"
      Actually, that's starting to happen now with foldable phone/tablets and foldable tablet/laptop hybrids e.g. I have a Samsung Z Fold 3 that can turn into a "larger display" and has 'Dex' a "desktop" computer like interface.
      foldable, rollable displays and short throw projector technology that throw out 100" displays from a "smaller" display seems to be the current trend.
      "faster processing" is relative as today we have computers and mobile devices sharing having nearly the same level of processing power and speed e.g. M1 iPads and M1 MacBooks.
      Also...Augmented Reality glasses are a thing but still very niche.

      They were already being built into walls so why not hung there? Everybody knew from a half century of technological changes that tech always gets smaller, lighter, and more user friendly, so you don't have to know how things work to use them. Everything today can be predicted on that principal. And human reaction has always been predictable, awe and excitement, becoming lazier and reliant on the tech, finding the tech has taken over their lives, trying to regain a measure of independence and control, coming to a compromise with tech use.

      You have got to be kidding! When I was a kid in the 50’s food was packaged in paper, cellophane, cardboard, or glass bottles or jars. Clothing was cotton, wool, linen, silk. The furniture was made of wood, fabric, leather and metal as were the toys and sporting goods. Shoes were leather or canvas.
      We are being buried alive in a world of plastic now. Almost everything we eat is packaged in plastic. I bought a cucumber recently that was individually sealed in shrink-wrap plastic. Apples are being sold in styrofoam trays, jacketed in more plastic foam and covered with a plastic dome. One can buy a mouthful of pudding or yogurt or juice in its own damned plastic mini-container. Candy is wrapped in Mylar that will last millenia. Orange juice is sold in plastic jugs that is so ridiculously rugged one could store paint in them for centuries. We eat or drink something and the containers it comes in are not recycled and do not safely degrade. When I was a kid the thought of anyone buying water as a beverage in a plastic bottle would have been completely laughable. Our appliances, cars, furniture, computers, clothing, shoes, tools,- plastic, plastic,plastic... I am typing this rant on a plastic keyboard. There are continents of plastic clogging the oceans of the world. Sea creatures and ocean going birds are dying because they are jammed full of plastic. There are beaches that consist of more plastic particles than sand!
      It is an orgy of plastic today. It is fucking insane. We are endangering ourselves and the entire ecosystem with this run-a-way thoughtless plastic nightmare.

From the late 70's until today there has been a giant leap regarding electronics and high tech available for "normal" people. Computers were things that governments and very large companies had back then, no one would have dreamt of ordinary people having such a thing in their home....let alone internet .

    I was born in 1954 and I’ve been thrilled to see many of my hopes for a Star Trek type future come true. It’s my fondest wish that self flying hovercrafts will become a reality before the end of my life. I can remember watching predictions for future technology on tv and feeling a sense of anticipation and and excitement for the countless possibilities. At 65 I’m an avid technophile with a love and understanding of modern tech that outstrips that of my millennial and gen-x friends. I believe it’s what keeps me young. Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
