No one predicted that 2020 would turn out how it did. Wrong or right, speculating the future seems to be one of humanity's greatest pastimes. This video explores predictions of the future throughout the 20th century. From winged gliders, to flying cars and all the way up to space travel. Inevitably, this video isn't a comprehensive account of EVERY prediction ever made. But I hope to have sampled some predictions/speculations and visions over the years that have come to be representative of whichever decade that they emerged in. Oh, and in case you're wondering, I haven't included predictions in the 30s and 40s. Lots of reasons (time/repetitive/WW2), but may return to them in a dedicated future vid.

Quick note: my apologies for the few audio pops in the video. I held the microphone in the wrong positions and only realised in post. Always learning. Let me know what I can do to improve in my videos, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Finally, I'm astounded by the amount of traction my channel has gotten recently. Especially my angels vid which is currently hitting 250k views! Thank you all who have subscribed and liked my content, I'm excited to be on this journey with you all.
