The golf and crossword parts made me laugh because my grandpa was born in 1917. He LOVED golf and crossword puzzles! It's funny to know he must have been one of those kids the old people of his day were worried about. Good thing he grew up to be a really good man who also complained about kids. Now I'm in my 40's complaining about kids, so it's great to know that the wheel of time turns. Lol
I too. I hate golf. At least, I hate how men in particular adore it. Along with hunting, seems just another way to avoid being with the womenfolk, and very expensive, too. Few men I knew who really love playing are really good men. Professionals I except, but just casuals, I have poor experience with.
@@racheeerach Why don't you break the cycle, man? Good people don't complain about other people just living their own lives. Older people can learn to respect their youngers just as we respect our elders.
@@metsfan1873 So it's not the contextual trends of the time when any instance of that phrase is mentioned, but specifically the trends of when you said it? Well, when those trends do ANYTHING that'll be the first time they have done anything. They just didn't exist before.
But there is truth in the statement. Each generation has had it easier than the previous in many ways. The level of self-importance amongst Gen Y & Z is more proof of the decline in youth.

I find it interesting that a lot of past predictions of the future anticipated great advancements in _travel_ technology, but instead we advanced _communication_ technology beyond what they imagined, which made travel advancements less necessary!

@@TransistorBased oh wow, a child has lower attention span than an adult, who could've guessed. Don't say you didn't have this low of an attention span. Trust me, you did, you just don't recall it (this has a name: selective recall). You're not comparing children to children, you're comparing children to adults. How do you know children today have a very low attention span on average and the ones you see aren't outliers? Even worse, how do you know kids in the 1920's had a higher attention span, unless you were around during 1920, but that would mean you're about 100 years. Not to mention, you would be a child in the 1920's, barely remembering anything, if that were true. You don't really know what the 1920's were like. All you have to work with are stories from people in the 1920's, which is bound to have some sort of bias into it, and by the way, bias is unavoidable. Anyone who claims they are immune to bias is wrong. Unconscious bias exists. The next generation is usually better than the previous on average, not worse.
I have a wonderful old etiquette book which talks about people complaining about the wild dances of the modern youth, and after discussing it for a paragraph, ends with "so let them have their foxtrots and their quick waltzes." It was printed in 1920. Yes, people have complained about the modern youth for a long time.
It's due to people not realizing it's not that the world changes so much, it's that they do. The times of your childhood when everyone knew their place and it was all simple, is simply the time where everyone around you shielded you from the complications of the world and you had no previous framework to compare to, leading to you taking everything at face value. The world grows more complicated as you age because you get more and more responsibilities; it's no wonder "kids today" don't understand the economy, they're not running it yet. Ask almost any person over 40 when music was the most resonant, the freshest, carried the spirit of the time better than music did before or since, and you'll find out that, just by happenstance, it's always between when they were between 15 and 25, because of course, that's the first time you experience deeper emotions and hormonal floods, you could've lived in a barn of flatulent horses and you could've sworn true sorrow is found in mr. Ed's butthole, it's about your own age, not the world.

That "all wealth will be in the hands of women" argument is basically the same logic as "at this rate you'll be married to 100 people in 2030" or "at this rate my baby will be 100 feet tall by 2030"
It kinda reminds me of the panicking around divorce rates when faultless divorce first became legal and divorce rates peaked. A lot of people were genuinely worried that marriage was over but of course it was just all the people in unhappy marriages getting divorced and nowadays divorce rates are fairly low.
That said, more women are going to college and can more easily get executive jobs now, so it's not far off. Women probably do have more money than men on average these days.
I thought this one had to be satire, but honestly, I can view it from their perspective. We're all infected with a very present way of thinking about things. No, it wasn't very intelligent, but I could imagine the neighbor parroting this article.
@prman9984 Actually no. Going off of most metrics the average single man is still making about 10k more a year than the average single women. Households where a woman is the primary breadwinner tend to make less than households where a man is. Less than 20% of landowners are women which limits their wealth potential. And, of course, if we took unweighted averages, the fact that most billionaires are men would dramatically skew the global wealth in favor of men.
It's funny how one guy can be so wrong overestimating the population of Québec, but one other guy underestimating the world population while insinuating that the world would be overcrowded.
Look at the kind of predictions being made in say, Soylent Green for the relatively near future. Even the worst off nations aren't in quite the state they show New York being in.

They were kinda right about the crossword prediction, I remember doing those in elementary school to learn the vocabulary of the subject we were learning.
I see it more as a metaphor of things getting dumbed down and taught in newer, more bite-sized ways that end up missing key points, like for example educational youtube shorts that do teach something, but of little value and end up missing lots of details. It was a pretty accurate prediction if we're being honest
I've always thought it was interesting that personal air travel is a perennial future prediction. While it may be possible with complete automation, humans have a hard enough time maneuvering through two dimensional roads. I can only imagine how awful we would be at navigating in three dimensions in an airspace crowded with others doing the same.
I always find it interesting people assess these situations with phrases like "humans have a hard enough time maneuvering through two dimensional roads" and they seem to completely ignore the fact that 100 years ago the world population was a quarter of that it is now, and that automobiles were slightly faster than bicycles.
@@speedos It’s more so that car collisions are a very common cause of death and serious injury due to their high speed and mass compared to bikes and early automobiles. People can navigate on the ground pretty well, but doing so in a heavy fast-moving vehicle is comparatively harder.
@@speedos Why would they only be moving slow? And there don’t need to be collisions for the height to make such transport dangerous. If your flying machine fails mid-flight, that could be deadly.

Two out of the three examples passed young. Ellen Maxine Fiechter Stoffer was born Dec. 12, 1932 and died Nov. 13, 1988 at only 55 years old. Very well could've been from a nervous breakdown, because that's awfully young. R.I.P. to both young comedians. John Edward Hanni died fairly recently - April 7, 2023 at the age of 89. Ironically, Ellen Fiechter Stoffer died a day before his birthday. He was born Nov. 14, 1933. (Which also confuses me a little about when kids started school back then because he should've been Class of 1952 by today's standards. Maybe he was smart and skipped a grade, who knows.)

I like how every decade or so they really believed in personal flying machines for all. 10’s and 20’s news articles, 50’s and 60’s cartoons, 80’s movies. But it still just isn’t practical yet, oh well maybe another 100 years.
They will never truly be practical, and I don’t want them either. Extremely dangerous, super loud (especially in large quantities), and just inefficient overall
Probably the closest it came to happening was right after WWII ended. Conditions were ideal: economic boom, lots of people with pilot training, and lots of companies trying to sell airplanes to them. New designs included the Ercoupe (a so-called safety plane that wouldn't stall or spin), the Globe Swift (great looking plane, especially in polished aluminium), and the Seabee (4 seats, amphibious, $3500). All were commercial flops. Seems like most people don't actually want personal flying machines, even when they're available.

Never quite understood looking down on younger generations. Maybe I’m too young to have enough to look down upon (26) but from my angle, there is good and bad about every generation and the only thing that really changes is how it’s expressed. If anything I feel bad for the kids of the future, having to deal with whatever mess we leave behind.
Gen Alpha and Gen Z are borderline failures. They are filled with overwhelming amounts of people whose minds are fried by technology and believe in outdated or even flat out wrong ways of thinking (rise in toxic masculinity being a good example).
Same here, my only criticism of gen alpha is that we as older gens failed them, and that’s not on them. I’m gen z and I see a ton of my peers bullying younger kids, while I’m just concerned about their development and the social media trends they’re being exposed to BY older generations, and the pressure they’re under to grow up too fast. A large amount of kids are also under their grade’s reading level… We should be doing better for these kids, they’re a product of their environment

At the very least, I hope they're more interested in it than I am.

I predict that automated electric trains have begun to overtake outdated 20th century highway infrastructure and cities begin taking back their lost real estate in droves, while most coal fired power plants outside of a few will have been shut down with the vast majority replaced with Geothermal power, small modular nuclear reactors, and large fusion nuclear power plants. Social media remains dominant mostly as it is today, but perhaps with a different variety of providers. X, formerly Twitter, absolutely no longer exists and is relegated to the realm of Vine. TikTok has become very similar to WeChat, but for countries outside of China. The U.S. itself has stagnated to the point it is ranked only 10th most prosperous and rich in the world, India becoming the first as it finally found it's footing and took advantage of it's large and now fully developed economy. The world is now a very chaotic mess, storms and heat waves and sudden snow storms pepper the entire planet. Florida has been completely evacuated and now lies underwater. A somewhat large undersea scuba industry to harvest and tour it's remains has propped up. The people of today are reviled for their lack of effort into preventing the unfolding disasters they encounter so often. The first manned mission to Mars took place maybe 50 years ago or so, and the world still grips with the tragedy of the amdurst astronauts to die on another world. Disease also ravages the world once again, as many bacterial diseases of yore have made comebacks as anti vaccine movements became popular in our time, and superbugs have multiplied due to the lack of effort to replace antibiotics with bacteriophages. Hopefully that wasn't too bleak!

@@TransistorBased oh wow, a child has lower attention span than an adult, who could've guessed. Don't say you didn't have this low of an attention span. Trust me, you did, you just don't recall it (this has a name: selective recall). You're not comparing children to children, you're comparing children to adults.
How do you know children today have a very low attention span on average and the ones you see aren't outliers? Even worse, how do you know kids in the 1920's had a higher attention span, unless you were around during 1920, but that would mean you're about 100 years. Not to mention, you would be a child in the 1920's, barely remembering anything, if that were true.
You don't really know what the 1920's were like. All you have to work with are stories from people in the 1920's, which is bound to have some sort of bias into it, and by the way, bias is unavoidable. Anyone who claims they are immune to bias is wrong. Unconscious bias exists.
The next generation is usually better than the previous on average, not worse.
I have a wonderful old etiquette book which talks about people complaining about the wild dances of the modern youth, and after discussing it for a paragraph, ends with "so let them have their foxtrots and their quick waltzes." It was printed in 1920. Yes, people have complained about the modern youth for a long time.
It's due to people not realizing it's not that the world changes so much, it's that they do.
The times of your childhood when everyone knew their place and it was all simple, is simply the time where everyone around you shielded you from the complications of the world and you had no previous framework to compare to, leading to you taking everything at face value.
The world grows more complicated as you age because you get more and more responsibilities; it's no wonder "kids today" don't understand the economy, they're not running it yet.
Ask almost any person over 40 when music was the most resonant, the freshest, carried the spirit of the time better than music did before or since, and you'll find out that, just by happenstance, it's always between when they were between 15 and 25, because of course, that's the first time you experience deeper emotions and hormonal floods, you could've lived in a barn of flatulent horses and you could've sworn true sorrow is found in mr.

That "all wealth will be in the hands of women" argument is basically the same logic as "at this rate you'll be married to 100 people in 2030" or "at this rate my baby will be 100 feet tall by 2030"
It kinda reminds me of the panicking around divorce rates when faultless divorce first became legal and divorce rates peaked. A lot of people were genuinely worried that marriage was over but of course it was just all the people in unhappy marriages getting divorced and nowadays divorce rates are fairly low.
That said, more women are going to college and can more easily get executive jobs now, so it's not far off. Women probably do have more money than men on average these days.

@prman9984 Actually no. Going off of most metrics the average single man is still making about 10k more a year than the average single women. Households where a woman is the primary breadwinner tend to make less than households where a man is. Less than 20% of landowners are women which limits their wealth potential. And, of course, if we took unweighted averages, the fact that most billionaires are men would dramatically skew the global wealth in favor of men.

I've always thought it was interesting that personal air travel is a perennial future prediction. While it may be possible with complete automation, humans have a hard enough time maneuvering through two dimensional roads. I can only imagine how awful we would be at navigating in three dimensions in an airspace crowded with others doing the same.
In a car crash, the cars stop moving soon after the crash. In a plane crash, they would still have a long fall after.
I always find it interesting people assess these situations with phrases like "humans have a hard enough time maneuvering through two dimensional roads" and they seem to completely ignore the fact that 100 years ago the world population was a quarter of that it is now, and that automobiles were slightly faster than bicycles.
@@speedos It’s more so that car collisions are a very common cause of death and serious injury due to their high speed and mass compared to bikes and early automobiles. People can navigate on the ground pretty well, but doing so in a heavy fast-moving vehicle is comparatively harder.
@@EMLtheViewer It's more that collisions wouldn't occur when there's only a few people in the air moving at slow speeds.
@@speedos Why would they only be moving slow? And there don’t need to be collisions for the height to make such transport dangerous. If your flying machine fails mid-flight, that could be deadly.

Probably the closest it came to happening was right after WWII ended. Conditions were ideal: economic boom, lots of people with pilot training, and lots of companies trying to sell airplanes to them. New designs included the Ercoupe (a so-called safety plane that wouldn't stall or spin), the Globe Swift (great looking plane, especially in polished aluminium), and the Seabee (4 seats, amphibious, $3500). All were commercial flops. Seems like most people don't actually want personal flying machines, even when they're available.

Thanks! I loved it!
Thanks so much for the donation! Happy to hear you liked the video!
Never quite understood looking down on younger generations.
Maybe I’m too young to have enough to look down upon (26) but from my angle, there is good and bad about every generation and the only thing that really changes is how it’s expressed.
If anything I feel bad for the kids of the future, having to deal with whatever mess we leave behind.
Gen Alpha and Gen Z are borderline failures. They are filled with overwhelming amounts of people whose minds are fried by technology and believe in outdated or even flat out wrong ways of thinking (rise in toxic masculinity being a good example).
Same here, my only criticism of gen alpha is that we as older gens failed them, and that’s not on them.
I’m gen z and I see a ton of my peers bullying younger kids, while I’m just concerned about their development and the social media trends they’re being exposed to BY older generations, and the pressure they’re under to grow up too fast.
A large amount of kids are also under their grade’s reading level… We should be doing better for these kids, they’re a product of their environment
@ Well said!
10:29 he specifically stated only the books about Lincoln that had been published before 1946 you have to only compare the amount written before then or as close as possible if no data about 1946 exists
dude you are on a TEAR with these last few videos. Feels like you keep getting better... and you were already great
2:20 This logic actually did work in ancient Sparta because of how many men died, but America is not ancient Sparta, so the logic didn't work as well
I loved this!! The last quote from that article hit hard!!
Man that article about how people will make stories about 1920's style gangsters and bootleggers like they made stories about how 1820's pirates really makes me wonder what stories they'll like to tell about our decade here. Will it be Silicone Valley start-up tech, the rise and fall of our viral influencers, the work-a-day gig economy with how cell phones use to work before the AI boom? At the very least, I hope they're more interested in it than I am.

Great video as always! Now I need to get to work on my 2125 predictions
I'm so glad youtube recommended your channel to me, you're a super good storyteller which makes every single one of your videos so entertaining! I knew i enjoyed history but I didn't know I could enjoy it this much lol
Make a prediction for 2125 everyone.
Mine is that those personal biplanes will happen.
I'm hoping world peace, but honestly it'll be an uphill battle
I predict that automated electric trains have begun to overtake outdated 20th century highway infrastructure and cities begin taking back their lost real estate in droves, while most coal fired power plants outside of a few will have been shut down with the vast majority replaced with Geothermal power, small modular nuclear reactors, and large fusion nuclear power plants. Social media remains dominant mostly as it is today, but perhaps with a different variety of providers. X, formerly Twitter, absolutely no longer exists and is relegated to the realm of Vine. TikTok has become very similar to WeChat, but for countries outside of China. The U.S. itself has stagnated to the point it is ranked only 10th most prosperous and rich in the world, India becoming the first as it finally found it's footing and took advantage of it's large and now fully developed economy. The world is now a very chaotic mess, storms and heat waves and sudden snow storms pepper the entire planet. Florida has been completely evacuated and now lies underwater. A somewhat large undersea scuba industry to harvest and tour it's remains has propped up. The people of today are reviled for their lack of effort into preventing the unfolding disasters they encounter so often. The first manned mission to Mars took place maybe 50 years ago or so, and the world still grips with the tragedy of the amdurst astronauts to die on another world. Disease also ravages the world once again, as many bacterial diseases of yore have made comebacks as anti vaccine movements became popular in our time, and superbugs have multiplied due to the lack of effort to replace antibiotics with bacteriophages.
Hopefully that wasn't too bleak!
I predict that no one or very few people will be playing shuffleboard - mostly because I only learned what it is in the last handful of years and heard mostly only vacationing old people play it 🤷♀️
I predict that we’ll probably get to another planet, that’d be cool
WW3 will happen around ~2035
WW4 will happen around ~2115
At least one asian or african country will have a world cup
The USA won't be the world's hegemony anymore
A few major countries might not exist anymore
The population is going to be very old or have less people than we have right now
Cellphones won't be a thing anymore and instead they'll use something more advanced
The world will be hotter
People will be calling Messi and Ronaldo frauds and won't even talk a lot about legends like Pelé, Maradona, Zico, R9, etc
I have a feeling people are going to be more religious than we are right now, even tho common sense would say the opposite
Flamengo will have 15 copa libertadores
I'm loving the 4:3 frame compositions. Also WOW your vocals sound crisp.
16:36 That is as part of nature as gravity is. My generation, gen z has already started looking down on gen alpha, saying they are "doomed"
the crossword puzzle one is so funny because my social studies teacher gives us crossword puzzles sometimes as a GRADE, so they were right at least for me
A surprising number of these were pretty spot on
You are killing it, bro! Keep doing these historical deep dives. Love your channel so much!
4:30 Yeah, that New York skyline sketch looks like the New York I know nowadays. Especially those funny looking towers of about equal height right next to each other.
Yeah, haha.... ha... haha.... yeah.....
I really like that youre outside in a field, its a nice backdrop when Im used to random rooms in UA-camrs homes. Also such an entertaining and yet calm vibes video!
Entertaining and thoughtful as ever, I do love your videos. Thanks! I’d love to know where the Wireless article was going - the first excerpt ended on a tantalising cliffhanger: “and women will at last dress” ARGH!!! 😂 As a member of that demographic, I feel it’s my right to know what the fellow who thought people would make love by wireless predicted I’d be wearing in 2025 😂 Tell us more, DSA!! ❤
17:12 the last one is so good
I see dime store adventures I click. I’m a simple man.
Edit.. wow! That last one gave me chills!
6:55 ngl that actually sounds kinda fun
That's not a prediction that's a suggestion 😭😭💀
Last one was great
Those last few sentences put a real smile on my face, and earned you a like. Thank you!
Back in my day we didn’t need teleported to get around in these fancy dancy machines, we got around on foot and WE LIKED IT
1920s: “Man kids these days playin too much crossword puzzles”
2020s: amogus
5:36 the fact that AI chatbots were invented in 2020s makes this ten times scarier ☠☠💀💀
Tbf the last one really blew my mind, this old article should really go mainstream in order to make his vision true
9:10 "Yo this party is so skibidi"
dont
Genuinely got choked up at the last one. Gave me a pretty strong shove of emotion out of nowhere. It doesn't even really seem like something you'd cry over, but it just really got me for some reason.
4:38 tbf they did get the prediction about aeroplanes flying in New York City somewhat correct.
it happened once (technically twice), and now the middle east is in an even worse position than it was before
Words cannot describe how much I love this channel. Seriously, this channel's content is some of the best I've watched on this site, so I have no idea why the algorithm hasn't picked you up yet. Keep making these great videos, dude!
The crosswords guy is hilarious! I love how even 100 years ago; people were still blaming various forms of entertainment for unproductivity in the youth. If you traveled back in time and showed him a smartphone, he'd probably blow a gasket!
Okay that golf thing is spot on though, good on that guy
6:40 My school actually did teach us partly by crossword puzzles, like every week. So actually correct prediction lmao
Same 😂
10:07 The funniest part about this one is that nobody below the age of 70 today is named Priscilla. Name trends are really things you can never predict
i have a cousin named priscilla! she is definitely under 70, i think she's 40s or 30s.
@nisc2001 Interesting! I've genuinely never met anyone named Priscilla lol. It sounds a bit Southern, maybe that's it? Best wishes to your cousin
@@goodluckgorsky3413 Her family's from Florida so southern is definitely a part of it!
I knew a girl named Priscilla in high school 2016. But her parents are Vietnamese immigrants. Maybe they didn’t receive the update on American names
I knew a Priscilla in her 30s. How wrong can you be?
Great video as always. Its really funny the way older people back then compained about the youth as well. Some things never change lol.
To be fair it's kind of warranted nowadays xD
@@AnaverdGaiden Ah, yes - the same way it was warranted during the Roman empire, no doubt? lmao. You're doing the EXACT same thing that's being criticized.
@@azuradawn5683 I mean, I AM a young person so I feel like I have more credence here. TikTok and social media have turned the brains of my generation into goop. They have no hobbies or interests, and can't stand any form of entertainment that's not vapid and 15 seconds long. I know every generation has had stupid people, but I feel like because so many people these days fall into the trap of social media addiction they genuinely become like zombies who just shuffle through life without any genuine interests or passions. They just wallow in ignorance watching short after short and following the most shallow of trends.
@@AnaverdGaiden this has always been said.
