    I work in retail. We used to go to training seminars put on by various companies whose products we sold. In the mid 80’s we went to a seminar by Kodak. The person running the class held up a roll of film and said one day we’d be able to take a picture on a camera and send it to a person across the country in seconds! Remember, this was before the internet was accessible to us as it is today. Almost nobody owned a personal computer. We couldn’t wrap our heads around it and I myself imagined a vacuum tube sending a photo like bank tellers used at drive thrus😂 It was simply beyond our comprehension at the time. And yet, just a few years later…..

    My father was a telecommunications engineer from the 1960s until he retired in the late 1980s. He told me stories about the early version of the internet which at the time was only used by the government between military bases and government facilities in the 1980s. Some of the servers he worked on were part of this early version of the internet. He used to tell a story about how one of his coworkers told him at the time that if this system went public, companies could advertise their products and services on it. My father's response was who would waste their money advertising on this? Little did he know 😂😂

    It took much more than just making the system public for it to become a platform worth advertising on. And really, advertising is rather small potatoes compared to the whole impact of the internet. I did some work in the 80s that made use of ARPANET (the "early version"), and it was PRIMITIVE and problematic, but it worked. By the early 90s, I was using email across oceans, in business, and that was much easier and more intuitive. In a few years, the emerging internet was a different story, with the WWW application, browsers, and multiple file and data transfer protocols for sharing information. That decade was a revolution. Your father was right at the time. He just didn't have his focus set on what was at work in out-of-the-way places. Some others did.

In what way did you misinterpret that to mean that I think people lived to be 100 in perfect health in the past? Until the 1974 ECOA law, it was legal and common for financial institutions to discriminate against people on the basis of sex. Not every single woman every time, no. Without colonialism (which involved lots of really gruesome mass murder) Africa would probably be much better off financially. Do you actually believe the only way to industrialize or build roads or acquire democracy is to be conquered? Do you think that's how the industrial revolution happened in Britain?

Humans will ALWAYS strive to get more for themselves & those they love & seek power for it's own sake. When you lock in a system of enforced equity, those people start working for themselves like busy little bees, and the rest of the population is yoked to provide for THEM. Soon their hoards beggar society & they despoil the environment for more, more, more resources. China the USSR come to mind. Venezuela. It is better people are free to provide for themselves, and contribute as a group for those not intelligent enough, or physically capable, of self support. And that system is corrupted too! Anything that has human beings involved is going to be corrupt. The trick is to keep the corruption down to a minimum. Keep government as small as possible and let people run their own lives.

    Please learn Earths disaster cycles. We’ve entered into one already. There are phony agendas currently propagated designed to keep consumerism/capitalism alive and distract humanity from comprehending the magnitude of the impending destruction. However all hope is not gone. Earth has endured these catastrophes for millions of years and humans also for as long as we’ve been on this planet. The greatest threat is living without electricity. Indigenous and aboriginal peoples will suffer less because they’re not dependent upon electricity. THIS IS of utmost importance. Knowledge is power

Our own governments and the richest people in the world all believe human population will continue to rise as it did during the last 1900s and it definitely will not nor can not, in fact, were already on course for Population Collapse due to the policies and laws introduced over the past 20 years. We are driving towards complete collapse of humankind with those in power currently, its sickening and pathetic. There is a real cancer in the heart of mankind, seeing ourselves as PARASITES. That is completely Backwards! We are Symbiotes to this world, we can, if we want to and put effort into it, make this world better on ALL Fronts.

    I watched this show as a kid, and we're now almost a quarter of the way through the 21st century. I like the mention early on in the episode of how one futurist did not make predictions, and wouldn't have liked seeing what things would be like 35 years later. He wanted to live his values and influence what would happen for the best (as he saw it). Looking back at it all, it's only too clear that intelligence shapes what happens less than we think it will, and that technology may make far-reaching changes, but the consequences are a mix. It should give us pause looking at this video. It shows clearly how "progress" is a phantom. What comes is what we do to ourselves, and many times it's not pretty. How much care we should take, then, to appreciate what is good and kind when it appears!

    In 1967 we had real problems with pollution, we cleaned that up with technology to improve efficiency and catalytic converters for exhaust emissions in the 70's. Clean energy would be fission that we are so stupidly afraid of, but I think he means fusion that has been promised for 80 years, it doesn't exist. Batteries were around in 1967, yes there has been improvement, but I'm thinking you mean the storage in electric car batteries now. Ever heard of entropy? Where/what is the energy source to charge that batterie coming from? Let me guess where all this clean energy might come from solar and wind? Dream on.

    I started school the year Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. I watched it in the classroom and I was so inspired and watched the next 6 missions (Yes 13 failed). I remember all the interviews with prominent scientists and hosts asking them what now ? where will we be in 5 years, ?10 years ? etc. I think when Apollo 15 was on the Moon with the Lunar Rover. Someone in one of the universities said they'll be bases there soon as the first stage of Apollo completes. it will be the net bigger rockets (Apollo 26) was to be the last of the original Apollo landings.Then on to bases. At the same time manned landings on Mars by 1981. I remember the paintings and drawings of apollo astronauts building buildings and structures on the moon. And the Mars Exercursion Module sitting on a Martian surface with astronauts around. Then the shock of my life when watching the launch of Apollo 17 which I remember was at night. The announcement that it was the last manned mission for the foreseeable future. But I thought okay maybe a couple of years it's been put on hold. The fact of the matter is we really have gone backwards. The fastest bombers, airliners, manned aircraft, rocket planes etc. Were made in the 1960's. They haven't come anywhere near that 60 years later. In the last 25 years many people have been saying that in reality since the early 70's. There has been a Devolution. I tend to agree with that statement. When we were young we and people were so optimistic and so looking forward to a bright future. Now it's depression, sadness, no hope, negativity, hatred. People graduating in university can't do basic maths, poor comprehension and English, no idea of history only slavery in America, Climate change everything. 600 plus genders, and crying that they have to pay their student loans they signed for and took out in the first place. I said to my son's friends a few years ago. "None Of you know half What my generation knew same age." I was serious.

Less time viewing porno, more time becoming more attuned with world events and taking courses. That's my opinion.

    This explains so much about where we are today - intelligent people who like us all tend to think higher of our estimates and ideas for solutions than we probably should. Now we have people in power through many means who believe they have the answers. I realize that these very statements I’m making can fit this same mold. Who can save us. There is only one person in the history of the world that offers real solutions to our deficit. The narrative of biblical holy scripture seems to recognize and properly predict where mankind is now and how we got here. If you haven’t done so recently, may I recommend that you read about this person of Jesus in the Bible. That’s what happened to me personally years ago in the midst of an atheist’s philosophy course in college. I was not following Christ at the time, but it was challenged to the core. I started reading about Jesus, and how the truth he spoke, was so much more real than what I was hearing in the course I surrendered my life to him and faith, and I’ve never been the same.

What has digressed to some degree is morality and spirituality in individuals, and society. These things benefit the individual and society in general. For example the war in Ukraine. Great and fantastic technological weapons, but wouldn’t it have been better for everyone if the decision to invade and kill to gain had been rejected because it would not be pleasing to God and my fellow man? Is it better to love and do good to others, or to hate and do evil to others? If you want a better world, start by making better, and more moral people.
