[@chimpinaneckbrace]

I’m currently watching this on my CD ROM shoulder pads.

[@jamielacourse7578]

As a DEVO fan i'm loving this....

[@jsherck]

That prune ad with Ray Bradbury is one of the finest advertisements I've ever seen.

[@martinvenegas748]

Dude the Pontiac Stinger looks sick

[@Oblivionbolt1]

going to refer to my phone as a personal data terminal now.

[@tolfan4438]

You should. The 'phone app is the least used app

[@AK.__]

"wearable computers" part - we watched in the office. it was lol, like good comedy movie. Instead of thinking about developing new tech, people thought, how to attach all the existing devices to the clothes. Good that they used CD-ROM and not Vinyl.

[@cosmiccivic2124]

Imagine living in a world that the future looks bright

[@ShiftingFlesh]

I really don't say this enough at all. But you make extremely radically dope content man.

[@ZLAKOZILLA]

"Radically dope content" best description ever :-) ha ha ha

[@Cracktaculus]

Indeed.

[@tri55555]

For sure

[@thedaggonator]

I cant tell weather your a boomer, or a sarcastic gen z, but either way, that's a great description xD

[@ShiftingFlesh]

@@thedaggonator Thanks lol. I'm Gen X.

[@packers12to80]

Cell phones said check mate to the whole pc body segment 😂

[@dave3657]

"The future ain't what it used to be." Sums it pretty nicely. 🚀

[@acasual9923]

3:55 hilarious how they thought faxing would still be used in the future

[@CallMeMrRook]

That corvette... just take my money!!!!

[@PhilipKaskela]

Do it, you can get a nice c4 vette for 5k now

[@WeeWeeJumbo]

This channel is the strongest argument I've seen so far for a second monitor. I've worked from home since 2014.

[@JetJockey87]

Just browsing late at night looking for inspiration for a retro dystopian game I'm working on and good god man this channel is a gift

[@packers12to80]

How's the game coming along?

[@ferociousgumby]

I think absolutely everything in that "wearable computer" line was replaced by the cellphone.

[@ohem]

Your celebration of the medium of TV is one of the highlights of KZbin. You're inspired.

[@captainarcher2]

The Pontiac Stinger looks so cool !! I wish I had one. Then I can be the ultimate Beach Douche Bag that all the ladies can love.

[@rush1er]

Hell yeah you'd be makin them basic bitches moist af! As long as you also gots this drip here @3:05

[@RM-yw6xe]

I love how these are all geared toward working more

[@railgap]

if you're gonna start thinking of "retro" after just 30 years (LOL) ya may as well start pushing for the world of Logan's Run!

[@JohnFrancis66]

Man, it's _always_ the central diode.

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

For a second I thought Future Cop Michael Shannon was the Boardwalk Empire Michael Shannon.

[@kiwitrainguy]

Whoever wrote that script didn't have a clue about electronics.

[@TheGuyThatEveryoneIgnores]

19:40 "First, let me get a snack from the vending machine."

[@Libikuroi]

Dude your videos are too awesome and far too interesting to sleep to. Find myself always watching the whole thing. You create this time travel feeling. Like I'm sitting in the past watching tv.

[@iplaymytele]

This is my new favorite channel.....!!!

[@ShoutItFromTheHousetops]

Great content for comparison from past to present. Crazy how long ago the technologies of today were conceived. Not always advances for the good of mankind...

[@michaelascerno3813]

Love everything about your channel. Content, editing, storylines...Thanks!

[@LouisLeeKH]

The green future car is wonderful.

[@oneeyewanders]

Another killer set. I am addicted

[@lopiklop]

trackballs are the future! Literally everything will have trackballs!

[@JoshTheBassist]

I found your channel about a week ago. I really really enjoy it.

[@edeggermont]

Super nice compilation again. I like your editing style

[@duplicarus]

1:58 … watching this on my computer that fits in my pocket and more advanced than anything they had at the time

[@radcheckinski6300]

cd rom shoulder pads lmfaoooo

[@zmoore5555]

Amazing how the smartphone made all the computer clothes completely irrelevant

[@picard714]

Lol Never knew that the great Ray Bradbury did an ad for prunes!

[@michaelascerno3813]

This stuff is beyond reality for sure. Computer cloths is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Keep up your channel please. It's original mind numbness...love it!

[@rayceeya8659]

Me in 1990: That Pontiac Stinger looks pretty cool GMC in 2000: We now debut the Pontiac Aztec Me: ummmmmm

[@markjeffels3327]

The Aztec was so ugly and cost so much, it is what killed the Pontiac label.

[@OhioScot]

@@markjeffels3327 the road to a car brand going out of business are paved with good intentions! lol

[@cookiecat1234]

If they just made the stinger it probably would’ve sold well considering everything built in, as long as it wasn’t crazy expensive

[@cookiecat1234]

Also call me weird but I don’t mind the look.... don’t get me wrong it is ugly and I wouldn’t buy it but there are ways they could’ve made it look better

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

The Stinger sort of reminds me of those weird Polaris Slingshots.

[@xtalvt]

WOW ... memories !!!!!!!! I still have the original article about the Pontiac Stinger! I had never seen the video .... still dream of building one of these. Another great video !!!!!!!!!

[@francescaa8331]

These videos are oddly relaxing. Thank you.

[@claudiacann]

please don’t stop posting retro

[@ZCKaiju]

"I didn't mention prunes in any of my stories, never. I'm sorry to be so candid..." @10:10

[@geraldtrudeau3223]

"You can work even when you've left the office". How very Japanese. Work like a drone non- stop, till the day you die.

[@accidentalpatient4152]

More Chinese

[@pinkkam]

nah, thats the entire 1st world, people continue to work on laptops at home n stuff

[@johnbockelie3899]

In Japan it is an honor to die on the job. A dishonor to die doing nothing.

[@lindaeasley5606]

Some people have lives outside of their job .This whole presentation for combining the human body with the computer is so creepy and wrong,not to mention at this particular time,incredibly uncomfortable for the body making it less mobile

[@vernonpaigejr.1517]

@@pinkkam which I'm doing right now. LOL

[@orgenoburt8988]

No better channel on KZbin IMO!!

[@j.d.4697]

That Corvette still looks great today.

[@carbonunit3191]

I absolutely adore these videos. You must have put so much effort in. Just to help me sleep. Problem is, it’s just so interesting that I often don’t! Please keep up the good work!

[@gregwilson825]

Excellent work here. This material so obscure.

[@fiercecamaross]

That Pontiac Stinger was way ahead of it's time without a doubt.

[@Agustin_Leal]

The wearable computer segment was so cursed 💀

[@diddykong7354]

lol those computers like geez man what we have now is way better than what they imaged. smartphones and ipads

[@diddykong7354]

even apple watches

[@bratfett]

in the past, even the old times were better. a prima channel. _ TanX and cheers.

[@j.d.4697]

"Hmmm which computer am I gonna wear today??" 🤔 "No need to stop work, just because you left the office!" A dream come true for all humans!

[@marcblack1]

I love this guy.!. He could pass for Jerry Louise so funny

[@TheInfinitySystem]

Okay, not gonna lie... if they sold the Stinger in Cherry Red- totally get one.

[@berighteous]

nobody will ever wear a laptop. Funny that nobody thought of just small touch screen computers

[@adamnelson4428]

Arthur C Clark did in 1968 for 2001 a space odyssey

[@Y2Kr4SHM4N]

They did. The Knightridder tablet was prototyped in 94.

[@durrcodurr]

Star Trek TNG had PADD tablet computers (conceptually -- for filming they had to print out the screen content onto foil).

[@Y2Kr4SHM4N]

@@durrcodurr Also, around about 2000 I had an Ipaq 5550 which was effectively a smartphone without the phone. Biometric fingerprint access ✅ News apps ✅ GPS ✅ (GPS sleeve accessory) Full length movies on SD card ✅ Games (Doom, Tomb Raider etc) ✅ So society had thought of that long before I was using it. I used it, because I knew it was futuristic due to seeing the tech in media. I knew it’s what phones would become. Others didn’t understand what it was, nor would they believe me. “I won’t watch a movie on something that fits in my palm.” “Im not reading news on something that small.” “I’m not taking directions from a talking machine!” Oh yeah?

[@Halflife2-y2m]

Every time I hear " in the not too distant future", I start singing the MST3K theme.

[@Chas4Sale]

They're running the future!

[@sandrosantos3622]

8:11 The Corvette add is so daft punk!

[@weeue]

Lesson for companies is never showcase your products not ready for sale.

[@sithlordbok420]

If only they knew about the Internet and micro processor boom of the 90's.

[@HiroNguy]

That patient is already a cyborg.

[@pedazodeboludo]

I love that the old concept is waaaay cooler than the crappy car they show in the "present."

[@jaredwblack]

That first film is Retro-Retro Futurism

[@rayceeya8659]

"All updated 16 times every second" LOL 16hz display would give me a headache.

[@vernonpaigejr.1517]

Can't wait. The future looks bright.

[@CC-fn4ch]

20 to 25 hour work weeks 🤣

[@BluetheRaccoon]

5:00 The inventors got so caught up in making a wearable tech, they forgot to consider *who* it would be for. It looks more "movie prop" than plausible idea.

[@pentizel]

The spherical spaceship was one designed by Ulinski and was propelled by electricity.

[@TheInfinitySystem]

1:57 You mean the cell phone?

Imperial units were invented in england and are still used there for cars although most other applications in the uk have since switched to metric

Lots of leisure time is right because no one has a job.

[@franciscobarraza1744]

Love the content of your channel. However, it is a shame that someone finds these videos boring and uses them to sleep.

[@oliversmith9200]

Per the last segment's interview forecasts. Time has shown that under the persisting situation, enabling people to be more human turns out to be incompatible with 21st Century market economy elite driven political criteria... And of course, what happened to the national influence of organized labor? What orchestrative money-property elite political block subsequently dominates unfettered? Oh yes... Sleep.

[@BillOweninOttawa]

So many keyboards. Futurists did not see much future in voice recog as at the time it seemed almost impossible. That was the case right up until a few years ago. Even today Assistant and Siri will fail, but the day will come, and soon, when AI's are better at understanding spoken language better then we do.

[@balthazzaarmontague8036]

In 2003, Ford spent millions to make a dozen reproduction Model T's for their centenial. They were going to make a hundred of them, but once they realized the cost, they decided they'd better stop
