Well most of the stuff we have now I just never would've even been able to imagine back then. Sure I thought of a lot of things that we don't have now like flying cars and robots and stuff, but all the things that we take for granted today I would've thought was impossible back then.
Just things like ordinary regular people being able to use a computer. I thought that if computers became more advanced, then they'd also become much more complicated and that you'd have to be some kind of scientist or computer hacker to be able to use them. I also thought that all the jocks would never touch a computer cos they always put down computer users as nerds, so I think it's hilarious now that they all use them.
I never imagined that everything would become digitised, so that you could hold your entire collection of films, entire tv shows, music, books, comics, games, everything, all on a single hard drive that you can hold in your hand. I always pictured myself in the future as owning massive shelves chock-full of all my collections of that stuff.
I'm still amazed by how all the advanced expensive professional editing software can now just be downloaded by anyone and is so easy to use that children can learn to use them. That even those highly advanced complicated pieces of software now all have completely free/open source versions that are just as good like GIMP, Audacity, Blender, Unity, etc.
So yeah, fuck the flying cars, we're in the future!
Flying cars, yeh. It's funny how movies 30 years ago could absolutely not predict the future, such as in Back to the future 2, 2015 certainly did not end up having flying cars and hoverboards.
Would you have guessed life would be this way 20 years ago?
