Lol ever heard of forced obsolescence? The next 40 years are going to be very stagnated as the world's tech industry keeps on getting monopolized + the expansion of the human population in a capitalist structure. It's foolish to think humans will become a super advanced species, our greed will never allow that.
He's not THAT young, though. How come he doesn't know how the old tech works? It's like answering machines and instant messaging are some alien tech for him. He's the same age as my brother and we grew up in the 90s and early 2000s with chatting with friends. Sara is even younger than him and she knows all the IM tricks. We annoyed our friends with buzzing them on Yahoo! Messenger and spamming random crap in their IM window, in Comic Sans and rainbow colour, plus animated stickers. Marques is like: "How's the weather." Are you kidding me?
the funny part of this series is that being from Brazil, here in the 80's, 90's we were really far and isolated from the US innovation, so we didn't have any of these things, having a phone line was like having a car

Except, WITH emotions. That is always the underlying difference. Physiologically, thought and emotions are made in separate ways. But, the understanding of experiencing emotions can directly influence the transmission of them through thought. Like how I have no idea how the beaches of Australia feel, but have an idea from my experience of beaches elsewhere. More interestingly is how this kind of tech can improve the lives of those with disabilities. Not just to enhance humans, but help them, too. I would definitely play the trope of the optimistic scientist in a sci-fi flick. xD

The first thing that popped up in my mind was how Communication could get so much easier for someone who’d be def, dumb, a patient of autism, blind; the specially abled. The thoughts of the implications towards that direction is what’s blowing up my mind 🤯
AR and VR communication definitely have a big part to play, before neural gear (though that's pretty cool on it's own). Imagine putting on a headset and suddenly your friend appears in front of you in the location of your choice.
I am terrified by that last one. Literally a mind-reading device. In the not too distant future I'm going to have to wear a tin-foil hat everwyhere to make sure nobody sneaks up behind me and scans my brain for my bank details.
honestly kinda surprised he's excited for this one rather than terrified, at one point we compromise on the quality of being human itself and get to a point where we realise that maybe it's fine to not have instant access to all the information on the internet; does seem like something out of a movie, but it's apparently not
Oh, nice! I've been to Samsung museum in Seoul, they had a set of a "bedroom and kitchen of tomorrow", you had to pick up a tablet and watch it kind of in AR on a tablet. Smart counter, smart stove, smart clothes locker. Tbh I wasn't impressed that much. Where can we see new AT&T videos, are they uploaded somewhere?
What always fascinated me with phones was something before my time, the party line. Basically sharing your phone line with the whole neighborhood. Just like with home phones you can pick up the phone and hear your family members conversation, except on a larger scale. 3 or 4 neighbors could all pick up the phone and listen to the conversation someone down the street is having.
@@freddybell8328 I agree, I think neuralink will be far superior but for a long time will be way to expensive for most people. Nextmind will probably be a cheaper option for people wanting to try out this technology.
Aww the AOL. I used to run to blockbuster to get my cd roms to get on the chats. Yes mom used to get mad at us for blocking the signal (she couldnt call home and check on us lol). And the answering machine was epic back then. I used to hate when someone would be like ill call you from 8am to 5pm WTF and you had to sit there all day waiting, but having the answering machine you knew if they called and to just call them back. Memories. ❤
i had that thought too, it definitely seems too easy to accidently send something you didn't mean to. i would hope however that tech gets implemented would be an attachment outside of your head rather than an implant, that way you can choose when you use it
Wow it’s insane what a difference of 3 years makes. I was born in 1990 and MKBHD was born in 1993 and I have memories of using AOL and AIM in middle school. I also had an older brother who was born in 85 so I think that played a huge role in exposing me to tech and popular culture of the late 80s and early 90s (but AIM was like an early 2000s thing).
that same exact model answering machine was my family's first answering machine back in 1987. i was only 3 but for some reason i still remember the Christmas they got it like it was yesterday, and it actually still works to this day but they only used it for around 5 or 6 years from what i remember until they upgraded to a cordless phone/answering machine combo.
Bro that's Sara Diestchy, she's engaged with John Hill, another youtuber I follow as I follow her and Marques. And Marques probably has a girlfriend. Marques and Sara are friends
The telepathy thing is scary. The first thing I thought of is how people can be harassed by others. If the harasser doesnt need to verbalize anything, there are no social consequences to deter them from committing that harrassment. Idk scary for women and poc and lgbt
1:03 Every phone I've ever had? I never had voicemail at home until about 2004. I think I only had it on my cellphone before that. And that was only for a couple years.
I love how he sits in a sweet spot of age for these kinda videos. It makes it pretty amusing. He's old enough to have a pretty good idea of what he's looking at, maybe when he was young some of these things were around but being phased out. He's still young enough though that he still has to figure them out on the fly. I'm 36, and I'd say around that age is right there in that transition period from analog to digital life styles. We made calls on rotary phones because that's what some of our family or we had in our homes. We are pre internet, but still grew up with it. We lived in the time where change was novel and interesting, and lived through the shift of it becoming expected and normal. He's right on the other side of that shift where it's fun to see his reactions. I played a demo Virtual Boy in Sears when it was new, and remember thinking it was just the dumbest thing ever spend money on. It's kinda cool in retrospect regarding it's place in history, but man in the time it was bad.
Answering machines. One of the best features they ever put on the answering machine was the "toll saver". The feature before this was the ability to check messages remotely. You'd call your own number, enter a passcode, and then you could hear your recent messages. But if you were on a trip, that meant spending money on a long distance call to check messages. With toll saver, the answering machine would pick up after 4 rings when there were no messages, but 2 rings if there were new messages. So if it rang 3 times you hang up and don't pay for a long distance call. Picture phone. I was a kid back in 1973 and we went on a field trip to the Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh. They had the coolest science stuff there, and a really awesome miniature train room. In 1973 they had a picture phone. The screen was tiny, and in grainy black and white, but it worked. They had one here and another over there. I could make faces with my classmates over a real picture phone like on The Jetsons (only nowhere near as cool). The sound wasn't hooked up but they were going to fix that next week. Also, by 1975, every house in the country will have picture phones! So how cool is that? Needless to say, the 1975 thing never happened.
Today's tech problem: People forgot to read Tomorrow's tech problem: people forgot to talk. We'll be mad at our kids for not saying a word in the past week cause communication will be telepathic
Brain thought "calling" seems like a bad idea. Other way that pool game goes: You: I'm going to win. Mate: Nah I'm winning. You: Damn my mates wife is hot. Mate: Excuse me! You: Ahh whoops.

I absolutely loved Dope or Nope with Chuck, so hilarious
I died when he picked up and said Whasuuuup!! 😂😂
Man Marques you’re killing it with these videos. Love the interview plus comedian stuff great format
Loved this Season of RetroTech so far.. Good work Mr Brownlee.
That AIM girl was straight up hitting at our guy big time😕
They both have bfs/gfs lol. She’s even engaged
Bro that's Sara Diestchy, she's engaged with John Hill, another youtuber I follow as I follow her and Marques. And Marques probably has a girlfriend. Marques and Sara are friends
Just an opinion bro, through observation 😁🤭
You're the dude that had imaginary relationships with anyone who acknowledges your existence.
@@GoFidoGo me being from india: conservative and over protective but sadly 41 other people too😅
Marques way of not making conversation stale is asking "how's the weather" 😂😂😂😂.
"Most boring 6th grader" rip LOL
So no one is gonna talk about how he casualy facetimed "THE ROCK"👍
Shoot i was gonna comment this😅
ah, here it is... the comment I was looking for.
Been loving this series, and the fact that I can wake up every morning then there's a new episode right there in my notifications.😀
Opening up UA-cam to see a new retro episode really is top tier. Watching this on a 4k TV in the lounge and you forget you're on UA-cam ✨
I really hope we go back haha I hate being this connected.
old person alert
Boomer alert
The telepathy thing is scary. The first thing I thought of is how people can be harassed by others. If the harasser doesnt need to verbalize anything, there are no social consequences to deter them from committing that harrassment. Idk scary for women and poc and lgbt
Dude marques is going the extra Mile for us by uploading a lot Thanks Marques!
1:03 Every phone I've ever had? I never had voicemail at home until about 2004. I think I only had it on my cellphone before that. And that was only for a couple years.
When I was in college I did my outgoing message in the voice of Mr. Moviephone. People loved it. My cable guy even commented on it.
Wouldn’t want to accidentally hit send from my brain 😂
No, you wouldn't want to send THAT imagery off to your mom!
Marques is on a role nowadays when it comes to uploading videos!
and i love it
The worst thing about this video is that.. it ends! 😢
This is hands down the funniest and most FUN video I've seen from Marques! This man made my day. xD
I still have a Commodore PET PC from the late 70s. Amazing how far things have come
That voicemail trick 🤣 🇯🇲
@Margues Brownlee lol ok fakey
@Margues Brownlee Margues 🤣
mufkr blown away with the cassette voice machine 😂😂😂
Great homework distraction !
But worth watching ...
I would really like to watch this series 20-30 years from now:)
I love how he sits in a sweet spot of age for these kinda videos. It makes it pretty amusing. He's old enough to have a pretty good idea of what he's looking at, maybe when he was young some of these things were around but being phased out. He's still young enough though that he still has to figure them out on the fly. I'm 36, and I'd say around that age is right there in that transition period from analog to digital life styles. We made calls on rotary phones because that's what some of our family or we had in our homes. We are pre internet, but still grew up with it. We lived in the time where change was novel and interesting, and lived through the shift of it becoming expected and normal. He's right on the other side of that shift where it's fun to see his reactions. I played a demo Virtual Boy in Sears when it was new, and remember thinking it was just the dumbest thing ever spend money on. It's kinda cool in retrospect regarding it's place in history, but man in the time it was bad.
Respect for the true Retro Tech fans who got here early enough to see this!
Me who doesn't even know the meaning of science: *hmmm..... interesting.......*
Hmmm...... interesting....
@@ETBONIFACIO ok
Elon Musk: To The Mooooon!!!!!!
Future retro tech: *How did Humans spoil the moon.....*
Thank You Marques !!! This content was so entertaining :) So Well Produced.
Answering machines. One of the best features they ever put on the answering machine was the "toll saver". The feature before this was the ability to check messages remotely. You'd call your own number, enter a passcode, and then you could hear your recent messages. But if you were on a trip, that meant spending money on a long distance call to check messages.
With toll saver, the answering machine would pick up after 4 rings when there were no messages, but 2 rings if there were new messages.
So if it rang 3 times you hang up and don't pay for a long distance call.
Picture phone.
I was a kid back in 1973 and we went on a field trip to the Buhl Planetarium in Pittsburgh. They had the coolest science stuff there, and a really awesome miniature train room.
In 1973 they had a picture phone. The screen was tiny, and in grainy black and white, but it worked. They had one here and another over there. I could make faces with my classmates over a real picture phone like on The Jetsons (only nowhere near as cool). The sound wasn't hooked up but they were going to fix that next week.
Also, by 1975, every house in the country will have picture phones! So how cool is that?
Needless to say, the 1975 thing never happened.
The best episode of the season by far.
Today's tech problem: People forgot to read
Tomorrow's tech problem: people forgot to talk.
We'll be mad at our kids for not saying a word in the past week cause communication will be telepathic
Brain thought "calling" seems like a bad idea. Other way that pool game goes:
You: I'm going to win.
Mate: Nah I'm winning.
You: Damn my mates wife is hot.
Mate: Excuse me!
You: Ahh whoops.
I just love this guy. My favorite channel for sure. Keep making the best videos on UA-cam.
Watched several RetroTeach episodes and for sure UA-cam’s missing a Dope button for those! Love the visuals and the content.
