      pre-recorded phone messages or cashiers at a store. (And when it comes to calling a doctor's office or

    Few things to learn maybe, if we wanted to predict 2120:
    Its damn hard to try to foresee the future
    Buts it’s a pretty good thing to do, and nice to record it for the ones who comes to live in that time
    People now would probably have more pessimistic views on 2120 than 1920 people had on 2020
    But the view like in 1978 was often that mankind would have disappeared 2000 in a nuclear war
    You never know.
    Well, I predict most stuff thats annoying now will be annoying 2120. But hopefully fewer will be poor. And that there will be a lot of contraptions around that we even couldn’t dream of. An IPAD would probably have been seen as pretty cool by the 1920ers. As a Radio would have been seen as cool by the 1820’ers.

      I have a terrific book about future predictions, from the 18th & 19th century mainly. Very few got even close. Big surprise was from H.G.Wells, in 1909. He predicted that all wars by 1950, would be fought in the air---FROM AIR BALLOONS. YET, the Wright Bros had flown heavier than air motorised Planes in 1903, AND, frenchman Louis Bleriot had flown the English Channel, that very year ????

    It's really hard to predict the future because history is multifactorial and not linear. For example in 1920 people imagined for 2020 rocket trains, but they couldn't imagine that trains would be replaced by the car. Or they would imagine housewives having robot assistants but they couldn't imagine emancipation or that even the term housewife would become obsolete. Basically, people exclude from future predictions things that oppose their current progress or values. Now we imagine for 2120 a fully democratic united digital world, because we don't want to admit that our tendency for centralisation and digitalisation can lead to a global dictatorship. Or we won't predict a world devastated by sin and crime, because we don't want to admit that abandoning religion and family values can lead to decadence. The most difficult part about future predictions is looking into the present without superstition

    The problem with yesterday’s methods of invention, cast iron. Heavy and not that refined but sturdy and strong, It was more mechanically inclined to the senses. Knuckle breaking components. Go back even further, invention was an empirical mindset. Water was an asset to mechanical functions. Hydro leads way to electrical. Even before old fashion hydro power, you had magnetic atmospheric collection stations. Houses generated their own light sources. Through skeleton copper and mercury foundations and rooftops. Paints containing large amounts of lead conducted this direct current. Where did energy travel through, out the tops. Friction with air. Static. Once the fine tuning of this particular energy was lost but not completely, due to resets, natural and unnatural, the forces of inventions for power always take over. Philips isn’t just a name concerning to electric, it was an empire. To this day they continue to battle for the rights to be the carriers into the next generation. Magnavox another corporation to Phillips. Trust me when I say this subject gets personal and very deep.
