How People In 1899 Imagined the Year 2000 (All Episodes.)

[@awakeningwithreiki9451]

Fabulous Video. Absolutely delightful

[@verynearlyinteresting]

I’m so pleased you enjoyed it and thank you very much. Tez

[@elenasimon1270]

Imagine fighting a fire with very forceful water hoses with a jet pack keeping you in the air. Which force do you control first? Water pressure or gravity? I suppose someone could figure a way but I can’t see it.

[@susanfanning9927]

I'm really enjoying the videos. I am interested to see that apparently fashionable clothes weren't any different in 2000 than they were in 1899!

[@pandap4ntz]

That's a really good point, lol. I do wish that custom tailored clothing was a common and affordable thing in our current world.

[@seemachakraborty5201]

Loved watching this video. Truly very interesting Thank you.

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Nice to see you again Seema and thank you so much. Tez

[@seemachakraborty5201]

@@verynearlyinteresting looking forward for the next video. Keep it up Tez .

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Thanks Seema 😊

[@wiljak_hakker]

I've listened one minute and i just want to say : thank you!!! i love you for doing this

[@karenakelly2526]

Thank you for this! It's both fascinating and fun. I came across it by happenstance, but I've now subscribed.

[@verynearlyinteresting]

@@karenakelly2526 That’s great to hear Karen thank you. Tez

[@pimpozza]

I love these prediction videos, Tez.. I wonder how people imagine things a hundred years from now.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@verynearlyinteresting]

That’s something I really should make a video about! Tez

[@honeybunch5765]

Ugh, it will most probably be dark and negative predictions. We live in such neurotic times with doom and gloom predictions.

[@honeybunch5765]

I just love these pictures 😊

[@vintagefilms6590]

Awesome video

[@MarcusZepeda]

I love this video. It was very entertaining and educational, Some of the predictions are very accurate but some of them are very imaginative and I honestly Love that. But I love that their clothing from the 19th century is still the some in 2000.' but they also got that right too. because some people still dress like that now in modern times

[@LapsangTe]

When the first video was posted I pointed out the fact that no one seemed to imagine that fashion will change. The are all dressed as in 1890.

[@llantup]

This is a neat video! Thanks!

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Glad you liked it! Tez

[@paulwood927]

I love this channel but it's title is so unjustly self-effacing. You should call it, "Absolutely Fascinating" because it is 👍☺️👍

[@verynearlyinteresting]

@@paulwood927 That’s so kind of you Paul, thank you. Tez

[@pimpozza]

I agree, Paul! 👍😁

[@davidseymour6447]

Looks like no one attempted to predict what year 2000 clothes fashion would be like.

[@honeybunch5765]

Yeah, to them, fashion has reached its limit 😂

[@Sheevlord]

To be fair, fashion is harder to predict than technology. With technology you can look at the current trends and extrapolate them, and add something that people would want that isn't currently possible but is realistic enough to be plausible. Meanwhile fashion is rather arbitrary. Some of it is indeed driven by technology (Velcro straps, synthetic fiber fabrics, zipper locks and so on), but most of it isn't.

[@bekanimal]

"We're underwater again!" 😅 ... but now that you mention the excitement over 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, it makes so much more sense ... also, I am shocked that I never heard that anecdote about Mark Twain and Halley's comet (I also always heard it pronounced like "Hailey's comet" as a child, btw)

[@verynearlyinteresting]

@@bekanimal At last!!! Someone who pronounces Halley’s Comet like I do!!! Thanks so much for your comment. Tez

[@witchqween]

I very much like ur professional manner of presenting these videos. its like a professional tv series, but I've got one suggestion which might be interesting, and that is of a figure the victorians believed in called springheeled jack, so perhaps you could make a video about that?

[@verynearlyinteresting]

I will have a look at Springheeled Jack! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Tez

[@witchqween]

@@verynearlyinteresting yes its a very strange and interesting story

[@jsl151850b]

24:56 *Episode 3. Thanks. I've already seen the first two.* 36:11 *The tough treaty he pushed for helped cause WWII.*

[@Tokinjester]

33:27 He might've been wrong with his prediction about there being no C, X or Q in the alphabet in the year 2000 but he was spot on with his prediction that there would be two M's in the year 2000 👍🤣

[@Non-Doctors-Music]

Great video. However, just so you are aware speech to text has been available for 70 years. Dragon Dictate was developed in 1990 for the home user.

[@ram2791]

@ 4:33 , there are pipe organs that do just that. They are very old also dating back to the early 1900s There was one of the largest in existence in Springdale Ohio at a place called The Springdale Music Palace, a pizza place. Percussion, strings, horns, etc all played by one person at the main organ controls. I am not sure where that "Organ" set up was taken after the restaurant closed.

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Oh wow!!!

[@paulguise698]

Hiya Tez, I was laughing all the way through this vlog, why did them in the past think us in the future will be living underwater or flying about, I find it weird and funny both at the same time, this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Choppy!! Yes the video’s really crazy isn’t it!? It really made me laugh too when I was editing it and putting it together 😆

18:40 anti-gravity maybe.... we should have this by now. It reminds me of the jetsons

[@Crazyguy_123MC]

Cool video but you are a little wrong with the Titanic part. It actually hasn’t been proven the ship would have survived a head on collision only that it potentially could have survived a head on collision. Also another misconception Titanic wasn’t called unsinkable it was actually her older sister Olympic that was called unsinkable after her collision with the HMS Hawke. After this the news advertised the Olympic as unsinkable and people assumed the Titanic was. White Star Line and its builder Harland and Wolff never actually said she was unsinkable only that she was as unsinkable as humanly possible with the current technology. And to be fair they did do a good job. It took her nearly 3 hours to sink compared to the usual 15 - 20 minutes. It was also such an unlikely event. 1/3 of the hull was compromised. That’s 300ft of damage. It really starts to show how well she really was built. No ship would ever survive that kind of damage.

[@brianjaber3171]

One could get so lost in looking into those pictures. Just let your periphery and imagination go and fall right in…oh what a great feeling. Oh yeah Tez, just give it some thought, you know, the word “nearly”. By the way - Loved them all!

[@verynearlyinteresting]

Thanks as always Brian 😊😊. Tez

[@pattycake8272]

Those blades from the aircraft and the cop stopping them while basically standing infront of it...well....nevermind

[@paulbennett772]

Actually, Halley himself pronounced his name "Hawley"; good enough for me

[@IncredibleCactusRoll]

Im guessing the people thought planes would fly with a combo of helium and an engine, they just didn't draw where the helium would go

The iPad was not the first tablet computer, not by a long shot, I had both a tablet, and a convertible tablet laptop, both ran 'windows xp tablet edition,' this was in 2005, arthur c clarke saw his prediction come true

10:06 but wouldn't this just be radio?

We have fully electric cars now AND I have a friend who takes driver-less taxis on occasion, but I'm still waiting for my flying car!!!!

[@martineldritch]

Very Nearly Interesting is twice as refreshing in this time where AI generated content is sprouting up like weeds ! It's kind of funny that Victorian principles wouldn't allow the futurists to envision the changes in Western clothing only 20 years in their future. The Inuit men, women and children depicted at 24:20 in their coats and boots and trousers probably had the most "modern" wardrobe :-))

[@verynearlyinteresting]

You’re right about Ai content cropping up everywhere Martin 😩

Great video, but the constant loud music and flashing up your channel name between each story item is very annoying. Sorry, can't watch anymore. This is just too distracting and annoying. Pity. Your first video without this annoying addition, was much better than the third with the constant music and reminder of your channel name between each item. Pity your work has gone backwards from amazing to annoying. Sorry, I have had to unsubscribe.
