my grandma is born in 1933. Witnessed every war in the Philippines and is now addicted to facebook.

Imagine going back in time to the 1950's. Telling them you can hold in one hand a device that holds all of the information known to man. Then explain to them we just use it to harass strangers and look at pictures of cats.
-
I love how they turn on the air conditioner at home using a rotary telephone.
-
One thing they didn't predict: Bottled water
-
A TV on the wall?! OMG that's futuristic!
-
I don't get how a electric cabinet that takes 10 minutes to open is more convenient that just opening a door xD
-
Funny how we watch these people predict the future on devices smaller then they ever imagined
-
When I was a kid during the 70's me and my friends said "Do you think we can see each other while talking on the phone in the future"?" Then we laughed and laughed.
-
I really dont think they predicted the future. But rather created the future. We create what we think up
-
most of what they're describing is basically all in a cell phone.
-
From a book called prophecy 2000 written in 1964; "you will be able to watch a motion picture in the palm of your hand."
-
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.

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.......

The fact that I'm watching this on a smart phone is BLOWING MY MIND
-
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 guy being able to see the guy outside the door was super accurate, like spot on (4:54)
-
so am I the only one who keeps a compartment to carry my keys, coins and candies for cuties?
-
When they said slim tvs that can go on the wall I looked at my tv on the wall and I was like ayyyyyyyyyy
-
1950s: everything in the 20th century will be plastic 2019: say no to single use plastics, hashtag save the turtles
-
9:57 “make the television set much smaller that it can be hung on the wall” looks at the wall mounted TV
