My 10 year prediction from 10 years ago

I dug this up from my 10th grade class from 10 years ago about the prediction of 10 years from now. Thought I'd share with you TAs on how AMAZING I was when I was 15 at predicting the future.

"10 years into the future

Unlike what some may think, I�m quite sure that technology won�t make a tremendous advance. I�ve noticed that people keep believing that ten years from now, there will be an extremely noticeable change. Each time, though, they are wrong. For example, when I would watch Quantum Leap, a show filmed in the 1980s, I was surprised to see what the show predicted as of 1995. I watched in astonishment how cars looked immensely high tech, TV-phone-computer were all hooked in one on a giant screen in an average home, and almost anything was voice operated. I suspect that people jump way to fast to conclusions of what there will be in the future. In the year 2008, there won�t be any cars floating above ground and there could be a TV- phone-computer hooked into one, but I highly doubt the average family will be able to afford it. There is one thing I do know, that I see developing today. The human�s dependence on high tech equipment, like computers, which will become an extreme devotion in the future. What will become of peoples habits of going on-line 24-7 ? There could be some sort of crisis in which every computer crashes. What will society turn to ? Could the start all over again from scratch and will they even rebuild computers. Or will they learn and build a higher technical devise that is unknown of today ?"



And all of that is so true today. I am better than nostraldumbass.

TAKE THAT BITCHES!

You know in the past you'd be burnt at the stake.

I would of been more impressed if you wrote down, "P.S. Even though im completely straight, I gonna get bum jammed by an angry black dude named Theo and really enjoy it."

send the letter.

Technology has really changed since 1998.

I had a 6 gigabyte hard drive.

Yeah are you driving a floating car? Electric car? No, and in most grocery stores there are still humans checking out your groceries saying "find everything alright gay gay gay?" Yeah harddrives will become more compact, but nothing looks futuristic at all like Quantum Leap predicted.

until quantum computing and carbon nano tube cpu structures become a reality we wont progress technologically very fast or very quickly. we are just shrinking an old design. nothing new about it.

what about cloning, playing around with dna, and genetics?

there are advances, the general public isn't privvy to them that's all.

well the advances arent so "astounding" is what hes saying. they arent breathtaking leaps of glory. they are just incremental steps that arent very far from where we were 10 years ago.

If that bothers you? go watch the movie "Demolition Man" with Stallone and Snipes, supposedly by 1996, L.A. looks like a giant war zone of chaos and destruction. WTF is up with that shit? thats a pretty bold prophecy by a movie to make a city look like world war 3 within 3 years of the movie's release.

P.S. ur gay...homo.

Let's date.

Ever see minority report? Their prediction of like 2040 or something isn't so bad, except for the magnet cars that go up and down all these buildings (neeeeeever will happen).

maybe not by 2040 but eliminating friction would be something that will pave the way for better alternative transportation that is more environmentally friendly.

Sorry, I was never into playin doctor with other boys or played anal pirates of the carribean, but hey, I did watch Minority Report, and you know what, Tom Cruise is a widower, and completely gay. Go get'em tiger!

P.S. Magnet cars are about as useful as a blind and deaf movie reviewer. Whoever thought of that shit is doing some seriously good drugs.

haha if that were the case then why is it (magnets as transportation) used for high speed travel?

my prediction would have been like:

Video games will be almost perfectly life like, and i would have at least touched a womans breast by then.

I dunno if we could make all of our transportation infrastructures so that there are multi magnet roadways/highways, covering a large portion of our metropolitan areas by 2040. I can imagine highways being rebuilt to support this, but I cant imagine buildings being transformed into large magnet roadways to travel on within 32 years.

Agreed on a magnet cars.

It's hard to predict the future of transportation in America because it's gripped by companies that want to promote the use of cars and paved roads. Once THOSE companies run out of resources and turn to alternative/better methods, then we'll see progress.

Disagreed with Tom Cruise. That guy is so gay he couldn't even buy love. Gay people view Cruise the same way they view vagina: its all sour outer space taco meat to them.

Not only did you dream to touch a boobie, but you managed to fondle a real woman's breast before the 10 years and virtual porn were up, you just beat the game in expert mode.

Even after the resources run out, they will create a way to make cars to profit off from, so magnet cars, much like electric cars will never be made or sold to the general public.

P.S. Tom Cruise is definitely still hiding in the closet, along with Will Smith.

It doesn't have to be quantum leap to see that we have made great strides in technology.

back in my high school psychology class (lol) we wrote ourselves five year in the future a letter.

when i was in college, i got that letter (our teacher actually sent them out), and i was reading it, and everything i mentioned in there, i had almost completely forgot about. and i even wrote in there "if you remember what this means...". i didn't. i was pissed.

What was the phrase you were suppose to remember?

Or better yet, ill try and guess it "peanut butter and ham sandwiches in the morning?"




*one of my friends had that in something he wrote as a kid and then after reading it he said "look at that, I was such a weird little shit"
