What ever happened to the future we were promised?
It's 2014; what happened to all the flying cars, the jetpacks, the moon base, space travel, food pills, the 150 life spans, robots and so on? We were supposed to be far more advance than this.
Oh well, Atleast I will hold out with my iPhone, computers, video games, and flat screened TVs for now. But how far away are we from the future?
You are mistaken.
We were NEVER promised any of that. No one said, "In the future, WE will have "Flying Cars" or "JetPacks", or A "moon base".
By the way, there Jetpacks, Flying Cars Space travel, Robots, etc.
Flying cars? Can you imagine a 3-D traffic jam?
1. No flying cars until we figure out an alternative fuel source to power them.
2. Jet packs are basically a small flying car and we have the same issues with it. How to power it…
3. Why have a moon base? There's nothing up there but dirt and rocks, move to the desert same thing but warmer with oxygen.
4. Space exploration is what's referred to as a "luxury science" we don't gain anything beneficial to us NOW by researching how we can move through space, unless again, it provides us with some alternative fuel source in the process. So in general, it's funding depends on public interest and the current state of the economy.
5. Food pills? Really? You want to skip the enjoyment of eating a good steak and just swallow with water? That sounds like hell to me.
6. People don't need to live that long, we're already overpopulated.
7. We're working on the robots. Lol.
It'll be quite a while till we're all living like the Jetsons my friend.
Far far away, most people can't even earn more than they spend ( governments included) until society at large becomes more responsible the "future" we have been promised will not be affordable, and will therefore not be as such.
I'll let you in on a secret. People said the same thing 40 years ago, 30 years, 20 years ago and today. Your generation is no different. There's no magic "stay alive" pills that will be created.
If you spend your life waiting for other people to provide you a future then you will live an unfulfilled life.
If you want flying cars and jetpacks then work hard and try to invent them.
You are your own future. Who? Who I ask, promised you a future? Be realistic!
I was replaced by trolls asking the same question over and over again.
- What happened to all the futuristic technologies we were promised? In the 1950s 2014 was supposed to be a world full of flying cars, robots, moon bases, star travel, and underwater cities. The only thing that truly impresses me are our flatscreen TVs, game consoles, computers, and our iPads and iPhones. What happened to the real 2014?
- Teens who have iphone has this ever happened to you? I didn't receive a phone call yet I got a voicemail from my friend who usually calls at that time I got the message. I'm really confused because I know when I got a call and if I missed it my phone icon would have a circle that's red with a white 1 in it. Have you ever received a voicemail without getting the actual phone call on the iPhone?
- My iPhone 6s takes multiple tries to start charging, has this ever happened to anyone and how do you fix it? I have a 6s and it will always take a lot of tries of plugging my charger in to work. I've tried using a new charger, cable, and outlet. I've also cleaned my charging port but it still takes forever. Any suggestions of what to do?
- Is tbere any major différence between thé iPhone 6 and the 6s? Whooppeee is Xmas again and my daughter wants new 2nd hand) iPhone… 2 years ago almost bought her 5 before i réaliséd that it was 5s she wanted ( cos thé 5 sucks?) And I don't want to screw up this year…
