    @@QuantumKennedy The change is the resistor and microchips. Minerization of bulky tubes that used high voltage and produced heat. We had tube TVs when I was a kid. Those things could heat a room. Tubes were always burning out. Our local drug store had a "tube tester" in the store. You plugged in your tube and it would light up green for good or red for no good. Below there were trays of new boxes of tubes you matched the numbers up with. If the one you needed sold out you picked one "close enough". After doing this a few times you had to call the TV repairman to fix the mess you made. Just keeping vertical and horizontal hold was a daily adjustment needed two people. The brilliant people put the knobs on the back of the TV so you could not see the TV screen while adjusting them. Imagine something so unreliable in your car as a safety device? Not to mention early TV cameras needed insane amounts of light to capture accurate pictures. You would need high beams on the back of the car that would blind other drivers.

    I was an excited kid when Glenn orbited, a thrilled teen when Armstrong and Aldrin landed. My parents had taken me to the 1962 “Century 21” Seattle World’s Fair, and these events seemed to bear out the bright predictions of the future. Boy, was I wrong! We have brought the next Dark Age upon ourselves. These predictions are fun, though. A great grandson of Jules Verne found a manuscript in a safe: “Paris in the Twentieth Century,” written in 1863, was so fantastic and unbelievable that his publisher rejected it. The book described a city thronged with carriages which moved without horses, the city illuminated by electrical lights…🙄

I was born long after though, 1980, but even my parents generation could not see it because we only got television in South Africa in 1975 for the first time. I am glad you got to live it in the moment though. It is so cool for me to be able to watch now at least. Walter Croncite did a similar video to this one about the "future home".

    You never actually realise how much better you have it when you're living it. We live in a time of incredible technology, like us watching any video imaginable from the past on these little computers in our hands, before you simply couldn't see the past unless you went to a library and looked at old newspaper. We are living longer than ever, medical advancements means things like cancer and hiv are not death sentences and we can replace pretty much every organ. Violent crime is as low as its ever been in the west. Workers have rights and a minimum wage. If you think things are bad today, you don't know your history. You just need to go back to the 70s to see hardship, mass unemployment and an energy crisis that resulted in a 3 day work week in Europe because there wasn't the electricity to power workplaces. People have a much better safety net now, poverty today is not what it was 20-30 years ago, poor people now have enough to eat, shelter and even smartphones. Sure we currently have high inflation but thats the result of shutting the world economy down during covid, it shows how far we have come that we were able to deal with covid without catastrophe. Go back to previous pandemics and you'll see how they sent the world into decades long crisis. I love the time we live in, technology is advancing ridiculously quick, for me it feels like science fiction is finally here with some of the AI, robots, and the nuclear fussion discovery. People just love being negative though.

    According to publicity, George Jetson is listed as being born in 2022. The Jetsons cartoon debuted in 1962, and promotional materials at the time said it took place exactly 100 years in the future. So that puts it at 2062. In an episode that aired in December, George is told by a doctor that he should live to be 150, and George replies that he has 110 good years ahead of him. That makes him 40 years old in 2062. So yes, by that calculation, George Jetson will be born in 2022. Think about it!

    Half hour TV shows in the 70's had about three commercial breaks, with each break being about 90 seconds to two minutes. Three adverts per break and you would have nine adverts, and that is not even talking about the commercial break between shows.

When everyone is able to afford it and wants to buy it, supply-demand and inflation. They were developing technologies back in those days working 40 hours a week in hope of one day providing less work hours and more luxury for the future. But the rule of thumb is always that everyone will eventually not be able to buy it. We actually got poorer than them while being forced to work longer hours. Meanwhile, the absolute "suppliers" came in to play, hence the rich-poor space got wider. Our wars, greed, politics, diplomacy, everything is pretty predictable while in this type 0 civilization. Hence, this time, we don't really spend money on developing technology for the sole purpose of luxury but for the scientific advancements. However, greed, politics and diplomacy will always be the key players slowing us down. And boy are you so right about the dumb masses!

This was seen in part of the inspiration of Disney’s original view of TomorrowLand. This utopia view began breaking down from the mid to late 60’s when corporate America began moving labor jobs out of America, when Corporations began doing away with retirement packages, inflation began rising out of control of daily wages earned, corporations stopped investing their profits back in their work force and instead increased the salaries and benefits of the top executive branches, and when high tax cuts started going to to corporations and the wealthy placing the government’s burden of operating cost to a strained middle class America who continues to have less spending money from year to year.

    4 terms of FDR and the New Deal Coalition's effects that extended from the 1940's all the way through the 1960's were instrumental in creating the American golden age we experienced back in the 1950s and 1960s. It wasn't until the end of the 1970's where laws were changed that benefited corporations more and more and also we started taxing the very rich less and less. From after the great depression to the 1970s we were taxing the rich more and the entire country benefited. The 1980's under Reagan's administration did even more to screw over our country. Then in the 1990's Clinton and his adminstration screwed over workers and sent the rest of our manufacturing jobs that were leftover onto China. Since the 1980's it's been nothing but a downhill slope for our country as a whole and the quality of life of its people.

We're no worse than those during the Great depression! We don't have soup lines on every corner, and families who've lost everything on the stock market. We don't have filthy living situations and squalor everywhere. We don't have civil war and families being torn apart through violence! We don't have actual dictators in office, scapegoating groups to the point of mass genocide! And we no longer enslave millions of people! America is in a better place than a lot of previous generations, AND YES we certainly have big flaws and failings. But all this doomsday talk needs to end. Imagine how prior generations felt about REAL trials and tribulations! Furthermore, a video like this one, showing beautiful visions of the future from a past perspective should give us hope!

    The thing about retro futurism is that, back then, there was a sense that technology could do anything. It was already evolving at a quickened pace, so it didn't seem that far-fetched that someday just driving to work would be entirely different from the present time. It was this utmost belief in technology that made them think the future would be like this. It was a naive optimism. Today, in that future, we don't have an utmost belief in technology, and we understand that there are limits. We also understand that the things that seemed so new and bright then have now led to things like climate change. Then, we thought of how great technology being a constant in our lives would be, how improved everything would be. It didn't occur to us the effects that it would have on us. We literally have devices in all our pockets that allow us to communicate with anyone at anytime, and so much more, but all this comes with a malaise about the prospect of it. Funny thing.
