Many of us who get a kick out of predictions of the past of what current times would look like would like this. This was a British Documentary that aired of PBS in September of 2001 shortly after 9/11 called “A History Of The Future” and shows scenarios of what they thought would happen in the late 2010s / early 2020s. Unfortunately there are no other postings of this show at all anywhere else online and it’s all separated into one minute clips, but it’s well worth the watch I think. I just couldn’t not share this with you folks. archive.org/details/WETA_20010913_050000_A_History_of_the_Future

I’m gonna go watch it now That fashion show of wearable gadgets would have been cancelled because of covid. It’s amazing that’s what they thought of portability when it came to computers instead of a much much smarter Palm Pilot or Sony Clie device. I really dig the Y2K aesthetic to their fashions though. Maybe there will be an updated version of this style as the decade goes on? who knows?
