I have a couple friends kids who speak like this or better, it tends to be home schooled kids. Its weird they are 7,8,9 and you can have full on conversations with them.
I came here to say this - my kiddos (10 & 12) do better than most articulating and vocalizing ideas, but they aren't nearly as engaged in critical thinking as these youngsters. I wonder what the kids in the video are up to these days...
Okay. These are obviously early teens in private schools with good backgrounds who've been specifically selected for their answers. You can find millions of kids these days that are this articulate, easy.
I was thinking the exact same thing! He was incredibly smart to have that kind of mindfulness at that age and time. The UN has a recent report that confidently predicts that Africa will surpass 4 billion people by the end of this century, which is more than 8 times the current population of Europe. The entire global population was around 1.2 billion in 1900 for reference. The majority of global population was equally spread, with slightly higher numbers in Europe, Far East and the Americas in 1900. The population of many developed countries then sat steady. Now the third world has swamped the planet and put itself into eternal poverty and all kind of national and global environmental problems. Our aid to such nations has been wasted, as enable them to feed 2 children and they then have 8. Overpopulation always leads to poor living conditions for the masses, with a few ultra rich at the top getting filthy rich from exploitation. This is why the politicians are opening the door and swamping their populations with third world migrants, they bring the third world economy via overpopulation so that the elite can be filthy rich and the masses see lowering of living standards. The same 1% class that ran the slave trade while treating their own people like common dirt, are the same class doing this to their country now.
The world population in 1966 was around 3.4 billion people. 50 years later (2016), world population hit 7.5 billion, more than doubling. These kids knew it was coming, but had different ideas on what it would look like.
Well it was common knowledge that population was rising at unprecedented rates at the time. It was like global warming now. Very commonly talked about. However, population growth has been slowing since 1977. And probably won't ever overtake 12B.
Probably not. Not because he didn’t deserve it. Life has a way of being a disappointment when you are encouraged to set your standards and goals high, only to have reality come and crash them down. There are times when I think of all the marvelous things I wanted to do, and tried hard to bring into fruition, and then failed, and I wish I had never had such dreams to begin with. I wish people had been more honest with me about how indescribably cruel this world can be.

Yes it's absolutely fascinating to listen to, my grandmother is currently 97 years old, born 1925. Yesterday i spent all day with her talking about all of the changes she has seen in her long life. She remembers seeing a television for the first time and being scared of it. Only one person in the whole town had managed to get one and every person in that town would go over to that persons house just to see it. The entire house full of people, even the street was filled with crowds of people trying to look through the window to get a glimpse of the television.
Tell me about it. I'm surprised kids were such downers back then, but I guess the fear of nuclear war doesn't do wonders to one's mind. That was mere 4 years after the Cuban Missile Crisis.
This was part of an episode of Tomorrow's World, which was a British television series about contemporary developments in science and technology. This episode was originally broadcast on December 28, 1966.
@@ZeloticMemes it will be boring soon because AI will surpass us and do everything we do but much better. we are seeing the inklings of it now with chatGPT and image generators like midjourney but it wont stop, it will just increase, exponentially until even the most advanced jobs are done by AI. thats what they somehow knew was coming. kids have good instincts.
Kids today look up to piles of trash of knocked over dumpsters. “Of that’s the cool way to be!” No my dear child, that’s absolutely an embarrassment and your ancestors weep from the heavens.
Hand-selected brilliant kids interviewed for a TV show.,..and many of the opinions/predictions appear to be things they were fed by teachers, or by people who prepped them for the interview.. You can tell from their comments they were all "taught from the same textbook," so to speak. This was the era of the fear of the "population bomb," for example, so that's a dominant theme they all refer to.
These are the children from a television show called “Seven Up”. Every seven years another episode would be revealed with the children seven years older. They were asked questions on life, love and the meaning of everything. It documented their growth and how they changed throughout the years. Some prospered while others came upon tragedies and hard times. It would be fascinating to know what happened to all of them.
We had the same show in USSR but the first episode was filmed in 1990 so it kept being filmed in post soviet countries. It's been only 4 episodes until these kids got 28 y.o
Actually, I don’t think this is from Seven Up, which featured interviews with kids from varying backgrounds. These kids are from something similar, but the uniformity of the accents and clothing makes me think they’ve all come from the same school.
This isn't from 7 Up. It's similar but 7 Up used children from diverse social groups and from different parts of the UK. The 7 Up children were a year younger than me I think, which would make them 67/68 now. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
The power of properly implemented public education system coupled with a stable, disciplined, & encouraging home produces children like this. Change my mind.
I was born in 66. The first class discussion I recall was in 1974, on the Vietnam War, I was 8. I fondly remember another one about plastics in 1979, I was 13 and a final favorite on why there is a 1st World and a 3rd World in 1982, at age 16. What's happened to our vocabulary? Can we truly rely on 200 words plus a handful of emojis for a meaningful communication? Dare we still come up with ideas or must everything be a social media repost?
The real takeaway here is that he was so brilliant, I wholeheartedly believed him. Wherever he is in life now, hope he had an amazing career - that’s one extremely bright child.
The fact that we have to explain to you that a 9yo ^isnt^ a biologist is why their predictions were totally right...you’re an idiot just as predicted 😂
It would be interesting to have those kids together as they are today in their 60s and 70s play back this video and see what they think about what they said back then.
I was about their age at the time, perhaps a little older, and had already read a lot of Sci-Fi, I would have said similar things. Most of my contemporaries were acutely aware of the nuclear threat, especially. 1966 was the year a movie called "The War Game" was made, and it greatly affected my school friends and me. I am so pleased to see today's young people so aware of and active against the causes of climate change.
What's most striking about these kid's speach is the pessimism, the dark future they were expecting.. not that they were that wrong, but in that age they shouldn't feel so hopeless about their future.. some of them were spot on though
Maybe not them but people working with computers had a pretty good idea about the potential of the computers and had some predictions about a some kind of connection throughout all of them
The one kid..."we will be statistics and that animals will no longer graze but be put together in large houses..." was a true visionary. He was right....
Because flying cars are a dumb idea. We could literally have superintelligent AI, colonies in other star systems, and subatomic engineering and we'd still not bother with flying cars.
🦁 It seems like kids 60 years ago had a clearer perspective and much a more articulate way of expressing their feelings. What happened? What did they put into us to dumb us down? 😢

Thanks for the context. 👍
So those kids grew a bit and formed first death metal bands in 80's?
Also, fun fact, the world population was at about 3 billion at that time.
1:51 this girl truly predicted the future.
Yes
How? Didnt know that the technology those people couldnt even dream about would be boring
@@ZeloticMemes it will be boring soon because AI will surpass us and do everything we do but much better. we are seeing the inklings of it now with chatGPT and image generators like midjourney but it wont stop, it will just increase, exponentially until even the most advanced jobs are done by AI. thats what they somehow knew was coming. kids have good instincts.
seeing these kids back then, how intelligent and articulate they are, what a difference to todays kids
Kids today look up to piles of trash of knocked over dumpsters. “Of that’s the cool way to be!” No my dear child, that’s absolutely an embarrassment and your ancestors weep from the heavens.
2:10 give this kid a medal !
It saddens me I had to scroll down to find this. That kid was 100% correct.
the way they talk is strangely comforting and soothing
Hand-selected brilliant kids interviewed for a TV show.,..and many of the opinions/predictions appear to be things they were fed by teachers, or by people who prepped them for the interview.. You can tell from their comments they were all "taught from the same textbook," so to speak. This was the era of the fear of the "population bomb," for example, so that's a dominant theme they all refer to.
They seem unusually calm and soft-spoken.
That one kid was spot on about how we'd raise farm animals.
These are the children from a television show called “Seven Up”. Every seven years another episode would be revealed with the children seven years older. They were asked questions on life, love and the meaning of everything. It documented their growth and how they changed throughout the years. Some prospered while others came upon tragedies and hard times. It would be fascinating to know what happened to all of them.
Thank you for this information! There’s a documentary of them on Amazon that follows until 2019. I’m going to watch for sure!
We had the same show in USSR but the first episode was filmed in 1990 so it kept being filmed in post soviet countries. It's been only 4 episodes until these kids got 28 y.o
Actually, I don’t think this is from Seven Up, which featured interviews with kids from varying backgrounds. These kids are from something similar, but the uniformity of the accents and clothing makes me think they’ve all come from the same school.
@@SkepticalSteve01 I agree, I have seen most of Seven Up over the years.
This isn't from 7 Up. It's similar but 7 Up used children from diverse social groups and from different parts of the UK.
The 7 Up children were a year younger than me I think, which would make them 67/68 now. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
They are so articulate and gentle. Wish grown ups talked like that now let alone crazy narcissistic kids that talk now like zombies sadly
These kids are just brilliant
Covid brought me here and yup. It's all there. fascinating children. Thanks for the post
So well spoken and polite children amazing
4:20 was terrifyingly true
"I think people will be regarded as statistics than actual people" Dang boi, spot on.
That first kid was too much. "I'll be controlling robots and shit. Or if we blow ourselves up, I'll be chilling in my cave, back from the hunt." 😂🤣😂
Aww.thats cute.😄😄😄
he predicted the post apocalyptic fiction of the future
The power of properly implemented public education system coupled with a stable, disciplined, & encouraging home produces children like this. Change my mind.
I was born in 66. The first class discussion I recall was in 1974, on the Vietnam War, I was 8. I fondly remember another one about plastics in 1979, I was 13 and a final favorite on why there is a 1st World and a 3rd World in 1982, at age 16. What's happened to our vocabulary? Can we truly rely on 200 words plus a handful of emojis for a meaningful communication? Dare we still come up with ideas or must everything be a social media repost?
They speak better than world leaders today
"If I wasn't a biologist."
You're telling me that 9 year old was a biologist?
The real takeaway here is that he was so brilliant, I wholeheartedly believed him. Wherever he is in life now, hope he had an amazing career - that’s one extremely bright child.
Andy C your crazy thinking he was a biologist. This isn’t tony stark
@Adam: He meant that he planned on being a biologist by the time in question: the year 2000.
The fact that we have to explain to you that a 9yo ^isnt^ a biologist is why their predictions were totally right...you’re an idiot just as predicted 😂
the count is 36
5:31 she nailed it👌🏾
There's racism now
I find the way they speak in this so calming :)
ASMR.
Some pretty intelligent kids, a lot of spot on predictions. Wow the difference between kids then more respectful and kids today very outspoken.
The kid talking about automation taking jobs was right on point!
only thing slightly wrong was the time. give it a few more years and she will be bang on.
2:59 nailed it as well
These kids are so articulate, so sad that most kids can’t even string a sentence together nowadays
'\Most kids can't even string a sentence together nowadays'? Based on what?
boiii shut up dont speak for a whole generation you dont even understand. open up your mind you old hag
Wow!, what a way to judge kids on their verbal ability..
I think u are worse than kids based on the shitty comment
Piratesfan123 m8 u dnt even no wot ur talkin abt lmao
It would be interesting to have those kids together as they are today in their 60s and 70s play back this video and see what they think about what they said back then.
It's amazing how right they were.
5:30 weird to think that was once something to predict
Not so weird, it’s still the same. Progression has been made but still too many racists lingering around who share the mindset this girl mentioned.
I wish I could see what these children have become today, 2020.....
3:15 can't believe how much the effects of global warming were already known in the culture
josy26 Yeah... technically it's been documented since the industrial revolution began.
@@neonmajora8454 yeah the 1800s industrial Revolution started it all.
I was about their age at the time, perhaps a little older, and had already read a lot of Sci-Fi, I would have said similar things. Most of my contemporaries were acutely aware of the nuclear threat, especially. 1966 was the year a movie called "The War Game" was made, and it greatly affected my school friends and me.
I am so pleased to see today's young people so aware of and active against the causes of climate change.
What's most striking about these kid's speach is the pessimism, the dark future they were expecting.. not that they were that wrong, but in that age they shouldn't feel so hopeless about their future.. some of them were spot on though
It's almost scary how accurate some of these kids' predictions are.
they had absolutely no clue the internet was gonna happen who could have predicted it
Maybe not them but people working with computers had a pretty good idea about the potential of the computers and had some predictions about a some kind of connection throughout all of them
Search for Arthur C Clarke 1964 on UA-cam.
0:58 the hair flip tho
That’s your only comment lol? Dumb bitch
@@southlondon86 Shut up boomer
Chad
The correlation with what we know today in 2023 & these childrens insights, particularly population, rationing etc. is astounding!
The one kid..."we will be statistics and that animals will no longer graze but be put together in large houses..." was a true visionary. He was right....
These kids are more mature than a quarter of the American population!
These kids are smarter than ALL KIDS nowadays. Kids nowadays are PATHETIC.
2/3rds…
85%
Imagine its the year 3000 and there's still no flying cars
Because flying cars are a dumb idea. We could literally have superintelligent AI, colonies in other star systems, and subatomic engineering and we'd still not bother with flying cars.
They are all so polite compared to children of the same age today
Depends which children you are referring to!
Take your nostalgia glasses off boomer.
And whose fault would that be?
@Michael Roberts Ah yes. The barbaric 21st century!
@Michael Roberts based on what Evidence?
*Kids were very brilliant back then*
🦁 It seems like kids 60 years ago had a clearer perspective and much a more articulate way of expressing their feelings. What happened? What did they put into us to dumb us down? 😢
1:28
This kid is a genius
1966:- I wish I see robots on moon
2020:- I wish I can get out of home
These kids are my peers. The nuclear threat weighed heavy on the minds of all ages during the fifties and sixties.
and 70s and 80s
Wow these kids are spot on!
Boy at 1:30 I swear he must be a renowned personality somewhere on earth now. Insanely impressive words!
