2057 The City part 1

[brianluk2006]

shi t. i would not want to play with silly holophin everyday. I play the skyrim!

[pantsuck10]

Wtf segways?

that came and left like in 2006.

guess those teens are "hipsters"

[ctrlaltdisease]

Maybe get some real friends?

[MrBranagain]

Why are there no older buildings in "The City"?

[NoNameMcStickles]

Haha Im the old guy

[Linkage1992]

I'll probably be Paul's grandfathers age.

[PeaceOfTruth]

and lets hope our laptop looks better....

[PeaceOfTruth]

Oh gosh lets hope that is not the fashion in the future.....

[fromstart2finish]

I dont have very high expectations for future tech besides communication technology. It seems to be the only type of technology that is growing faster than the others. Robotics, Fuel, transportation, agriculture, and sadly medicine are all stagnating. Why? No really cares about them or see any capitalistic finanical gains in them yet. I mean the personal phone has only been around 18+ years. Look how much it has changed because of consumer interest.

[bigfoot1000bc]

reality- two completely separate pieces of technology can make either shitty holograms or shitty 3D

conclusion- using neither methods shown we will have free moving 3D holograms with extremely developed AI in 50 years

[vaidotas86]

WTF I just watched?

[EternalDarkness333]

zz scientist need to focus on invasive techniques like attaching a chip to our optic nerve. they are doing it the hard way. the initial surgery could create a detour from the optic nerves to each respective side of our heads so chips could be replaceable on the outside.

[ArmanCortez1]

In 2057 i will be 65 years old (pretty sure ill still be here, considering the average lifespan TODAY is 77 and by then it will likely be higher, unless we get a post-apocalyptic future...) I will be hanging around old friends and i will say "Hey remember the discovery channel way back when we were in high school had this show called 2057, well all i have to say to that show is where is my goddamn flying car! Friend says"At least we got our holographic porn"

*We all laugh*

[TOTCD]

@ArmanCortez1 I also think that's what is going to happen.

This would've been more accurate if they would've called it 2100.

This is in just 40 years. I don't think we will all have flying cars etc in 40 years.

The logistics of it will take much longer to figure out.

[kwan185]

50 years ago computers could only just fit

into a single room in 50 years there will probably be a lot more small portable devices with touch screens for a lot cheaper

[RAK11]

so stupid!

[03bgood]

@RAK11 Your stupid.

[lubu160]

Now let me tell you the truth and what will really happen in 2057.

we will have electric cars rather than petrol fuelled. probably another war due to the middle east mostly. have bigger and better guns and missiles for blowing each other up with. life for the common person would not of changed too much, other than those drafted to go tot war.

[03bgood]

We probably won't look like this in 2057, maybe in 2107 though.

[jmlrugby11]

why doesn't that kid have a hoverboard?

[QuickRefs]

I'm sure this seclusive japanese dude is glad to have little holograms as his friends, wife and lovers. But I would rather have a laptop, a smartphone and that's it. I would spend time hanging out with young girls in 2050, cuz there will be even more of 'em when we reach population of 9 Billion.

[manz92]

this is applausible but not in 50 years, i think maybe 200 years.

[03bgood]

@manz92 More like 100 years (criteria 2111)

[PivotalPlatypus]

Wow, I'd rather drive my own car. Computer best get out my whip and walk.

[altoids79762]

i doubt kids will be outside at all

[03bgood]

@altoids79762 Probably in the world of Tron.

[redarrowhead2]

I think most people would settle for a fully functioning economy at the moment.

[PrinceDreLance]

lets be real this will not happen why because the way to survive is work and labor and if no human does labor then no pay and if there's no pay no survival. the robots will take over

[TheBigThoughful]

IF WE STILL HAVE QWERTY KEYBOARDS IN 50 YEARS I WILL OFF MYSELF

[Balmung812]

kid still using a crappy cellphone in 2057? wtf it should be hologram.

[jan8919]

Every decade ppl do think differently

[xfubar]

that kids chair looks ultra uncomfortable

[VoltaireActNow]

we won't care but to archive and forget about this show 50 years in the future. We are all ready laughing at its views and ideas now. We'll just find it trite, but worth its existence as part of the historical record of our technological baby steps.

[sk123010]

Hell, my laptop is better then this futures kids shit top... and its only been 4 years since this doc was made (-_____-')

[Scoinsoffaterocks]

I remember this show that I saw in 2007.

[mwps99]

@Scoinsoffaterocks Me to, it was on SBS i think?

[Scoinsoffaterocks]

@mwps99

What is SBS?

[mwps99]

@Scoinsoffaterocks It's a world news and stories program in Australia and they show it in England as well, where are you from?

[Scoinsoffaterocks]

@mwps99

Canada. Though I lived in the States for most of my life.

[crossvariation]

Remind me to watch this 50 years later thank you

[SHR2012FOOTBALL]

Yes! now my imaginary dolphin can finally be my real only friend!

[Chessaisthere]

instead of using fog, can they have little lasers that detect dust particles to bounce off of to create an image? And also think about how every kid will have one and distract them in school how much trouble it would cause. and the how noisy it would be in streets if everyone had one.

[kurt9876543210]

who the fuck wants a flying faggy dolphin

[Nightdrone]

lol he has a palm pilot with a stylus and a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor... It's not even 2050 and I'm laughing at how low tech some of this is...

[HalfTimesTwo]

@Nightdrone My exact first thought lol. We had stuff way better than that back then and they didn't even bother using it. o.O

[AspiringPotato]

Yeah, because kids chasing imaginary dolphins across the street will be so safe.

[AlexFoeShizzle]

Oh silly Paul and his floating blob/thing

[saa442]

But with out resources how we are gong to achieve these ?

[KaiserJames]

I'm still waiting for my flying DeLorean, ;)

[TheRetartedcentral]

years srry about that

[TheRetartedcentral]

in 50 wars we might still be in ww3 or somthing like that......

[CUMBICA1970]

LOL 30 years ago I read an article in a kid science magazine predicting how's gonna be the world in the year 2010. No pollution, no wars, flying cars, eradication of pretty much all diseases, etc... And well, from what we actually got today, "Soylent Green" was way more accurate...

[Oneninekilo]

Oh yeah? Well wheres my Jet Pack And my summer home on the Moon? By the year 2000 of course

[coolieo389]

This all a fun idea, but none of this will happen.

[crazywales]

what a load of shit... fucking holographic dolphins, sorry, holophin haha (I don't think so). This will never happen, we do not have enough resources left on this planet to create anything like this in the future.



[amx0x90]

Oh boy are we gonna laugh at this in 50 years..

[Bozewani]

@amx0x90 You can already pop out Youtube videos and have a full screen view of Youtube

Having external Youtube images could be possible by the end of the decade

[brettofromthghetto]

@amx0x90 laughing now!....a tsunami of information, verbal dhiarrhoea..hehe

[BadboiRules]

More like year 2457.

[255ad]

@BadboiRules your reeeeally optimistic

[BadboiRules]

I was just thinking about it. But, I don't want the world to be like that. I want the world to be just the way it is right now. With a few advanced changes but not including robotic stuff. With those, we would be lazy, we will not have time with socializing with real people instead replaced with those robots. Real fun vanishes Artificial fun arrives.

[255ad]

@BadboiRules OK if humans never had to do manual labour that would be a good thing

why the FUCK would robots stop us socializing with real humans, and what do you mean Artificial fun, fun isn't in in the act it's in how the act makes you fell that why I can have fun doing something you can't

[BadboiRules]

@255ad Hey hey hey, It's just my opinion. So don't take it seriously. Did I say something wrong?

[255ad]

@BadboiRules it wasn’t an "opinion" at all it was you making a statement about what you think will happen in the future, if you said turns out not to happen (as it probably will) then you will be objectively wrong

The thing you said about “Artificial fun arrives” is also not an"opinion" but statement and already objectively wrong

[BadboiRules]

@255ad yeah whatever. btw, thanks for that stupid explanation. 

[255ad]

@BadboiRules I really hate people who just spout any old crap on any old subject they know nothing about but then try to defend it later as just "opinion" when it wasn’t, it was them making an objectively wrong STATMEANT that they should face up to

[BadboiRules]

@255ad Okaaaay. Finee then why do you care? Did my "STATEMENT" affect your life? WOW, you're really funny. a subject I don't know nothing about? Why? have you been to the future? No one knows. It can change anytime so you don't have the right to judge every person's STATEMENT. ;)

[255ad]

@BadboiRulesI care because I thought you where wrong isn’t that enough?

Ok for starters half of the stuff you said wasn’t about the future and as for the half that was… well yes you can’t say for sure but that doesn’t mean you can just predict any thing

[BadboiRules]

@255ad Hahaha. Okay. :-) Thanks for the tip. I admit that I'm wrong. I just don't want to get this cnversation get any further. ;-)

[FlawdaFootball]

What if we go backwards? what if there is a backlash against scientific progress? This has happened before in England in the 1800s - read about the Luddites on Wikipedia. Not everyone is okay with being plugged in all the time. I personally don't like the impact cell phones have had on modern society - people prefer to bury themselves in their phones on the subway instead of talking, they think nothing of interrupting a date to whip out their phones to respond to a text, etc etc

[alexbeathaloreach]

@FlawdaFootball true dat. but i also own a cell phone

[255ad]

@FlawdaFootball the Luddites didn't have a significant effect on progress.

"being plugged in all the time" your plugged into your needs not the technology that services them

[iRunThisZone]

Il b 70 this could all happen we already have 3d tvs

[coolieo389]

@iRunThisZone Not if we dye by war already.

[Derp1978]

2057 I'll be 65, and I doubt that this vision of the future is likely, but that's just me, it is depressing that the fact that young kids will not have any real friends if this vision was similar to our future... I believe that Generation Y will be the last group of kids that will grow up the good'old fashioned way, where kids actually "played" on the streets with each other, not in their rooms. sad times indeed. when I have Children, I will definately bring them up the old fashioned way too.

[255ad]

@Derp1978 by that do you mean your not going to let them have computers or your just going to makes play out side to either way how would that work if no one else's children are playing on the streets

kids play out side because they won't to be physically active which no amount of face book can substitute that, the thing that's actually keeping kids inside is over protective parents I think

[RayDandy]

the hologram thing is already real, it was developed in japan a few years ago, its now called aerial burton, just look for a video called "true 3D display"

[GhostOfAStranger1]

@RayDandy Doesn't count, the Japanese are alre- scratch that WERE 20 years ahead of everyone else. Their 30 yrs now. Since you know, every time they get majorly fucked up...for some reason they always come back superior.

[RayDandy]

@GhostOfAStranger1 i dont know what youre talking about,man

[algonquin91]

"A special infa-red tracking device the user wears on his [penis]"

[mquiroz90]

i,ll be 66 in 2057

[mquiroz90]

we will have flying cars hover vehicles

[Brian567899]

In 2057 I'll be 49... if bodies can rebuild themselves then I'll be amazed how we can live a lot longer than today hopefully

[Beandude202]

@Brian567899

So you were born in 2008?

[Brian567899]

@Beandude202 I meant 59 -.-

[coolieo389]

@Brian567899 so your saying your a three year old now. I highly doubt it. Check your math mate

[Brian567899]

@coolieo389 yeah it was an accident sorry lmao

[wheely132]

In 2057, I'll be 65..

[AlphahawkA25]

this holographic tecnique is actually being used in nintendo's 3ds coming next week

[Salien1999]

@AlphahawkA25 I'm pretty sure the water would ruin the 3DS. Sorry, but it's not the fog screen technique.

[AlphahawkA25]

@Salien1999 i'm talking about the other holographic technique, the one before that

[Salien1999]

@AlphahawkA25 The one with the special glass? That seems a lot more likely... >.>

[MrNvona]

Grandpa's a dick...

[03bgood]

@MrNvona Oh my God, I can't believe in about 46 years I'm going to be a 69 year old grumpy grandpa, damn getting old is gonna suck, hell even in the future!

[WretchedSerpent]

Amazing :) Thanks for uploading the series :)

[Phrantix08]

hmm,, the cgi dolphin would be cool to make a mod that turns the cgi into a shimigami D= badass

[thedudecalledpj]

Haha, 3d tv, that will never catch.......wait what?

[Neueregel]

In the future I will have forgotten that I have written this comment.

[darkcamry]

this might not happen. from 1960 to 2010 the only thing that had change, was the military stuff.

[cosmothechihuahuadog]

@darkcamry really? that's what you think? how about the internet, the space station,phones with acces to internet, touchscreens,video games and video game technology like the wii or the kinect, etc.

[darkcamry]

@cosmothechihuahuadog u do have a point. I forgot about those.

[xTheDeathSaintx]

in the future there will be all this new technology....90% of it will be banned

[kevlore123]

Wait, doesn't the world end in 2012?

[barr65]

cardgames=yugioh? lol that would be hilarious!

[eb248318]

that not true not in tell 4000 years

[Megadedly]

@eb248318 Uh...humans aren't stupid enough to take that long.

[sixwingproductions]

@Megadedly your right you humans are smarter than that you guys once ruled the universe till your ancestores told my people to take your tech to keep you out of a war

[eb248318]

that not true

[savanath]

one thing won't change...usb cables. unfortunately the future gen would go old scho0l and decided that wireless aps are just toooo much work

[dragonofthedarknight]

Let's just hope the government doesn't abuse any of the things we will have in the future or we're screwed.

[KnightxxArrow]

I HEAR THE WORD "LAZY" IN THIS DECADE, BETTER YET WE ARE LAZY NOW!!!

[Drsemtex123]

i will be alive during that time ill be be 57

[christo930]

This is a stupid vision of the future that makes the same mistakes as the vision of today 50 years ago. They took what was cutting edge then and extrapolated it. Space and nuclear power were new, so they imagined a world with free unlimited energy and space travel. OF COURSE, NONE OF IT HAPPENED. Mobile electronics are all the rage right now, so they just extrapolate it. All nonsense. Kids are not going to have dolphin or any other virtual friends.

[Goodiesfanful]

@christo930 Maybe we should look at the Star Trek spinoffs for anticipating what our technology will be like by 2050; the '60s original was reasonably close at anticipating what it would be like by 2000 - desktop computers, CDs, mobile phones, and transportation and time travel becoming theoretical possibilities.

[christo930]

@Goodiesfanful I am not a fan of Star trek so I can't really comment too much, but I do know that many, many ideas from Star Trek, including space travel itself, is far from a reality. Of course, I don't know what timespan they are working on, because as I said, I don't know much about Star Trek.

[Virgil077]

@christo930

Moor's law? But maybe your right. Well Just have to wait and see.

[christo930]

@Virgil077 Moor's law isn't exactly like other scientific laws. Counting on exponential growth in perpetuity is silly. It's easy in the beginning but gets ever more difficult as time goes on and has at minimum, a theoretical end. The liquid fuels shortage that is going to start this decade is going to put a real damper on all this.

[deanmullen10]

if ppl hate tv adverts imagine holographic adverts floating around, ppl will probably try beat them up rofl, cool vid btw.

[PeaceOfTruth]

asimo!

[squigoo]

So... holograms, clothing that monitors your health, intelligent roads, cars that drive themselves... and traditional desktop computers? I must be missing something here.

[chevon1920]

@squigoo

I think that was his grandpa's old stuff he plays with.

[squigoo]

@chevon1920 Yeah, I got that RIGHT after I left the comment. Oh me. XD

[TheCarissa1994]

i migth be living in 2057

[BASilAndSAPhronyummy]

The Discovery Channel officially mastered the art of creating soap opera with this series of videos. 

[sergioswow]

YAY porn in 3D

[sk8nboomer900]

lol. guide kids home? man. theyre babying these kids... let people fuck up! just once ya know? it might help their skills...

[UtubeDude011]

so in 2057 we will watch porn in 3D?

[spartenkiller456]

as cool as all this stuff sounds the fact of the matter is in the 50s we thought we would have these things by the 1980s instead we got the internet which while useful, for most people its simply a more effective way to deliver gossip and pornography, WERE THE HECK IS MY JETPACK DANG IT

ps sry bout da caps its for enphasis not anger

[fermerwuvu]

cars that drive themselves?..and what if it stops working?..what if a solar flare from our sun screws up all the electronics?..then it would be a disaster!..never trust machines!!

[roboticsynapse]

@mercanaries3 Remember, his grandpa? had the old Asimo too. It was the guy's computer, not the kids.

[mercanaries3]

@roboticsynapse

how did you find my comment!

[roboticsynapse]

@mercanaries3 By clicking the numbers at the bottom of the screen.

[mercanaries3]

@roboticsynapse

i was at page 6 i did not see my comment you troll

i bet you waste your time skimming through old comments and replying.

[roboticsynapse]

@mercanaries3 STFU! Get a life. Next time write something more worthwhile, troll.

[mercanaries3]

@roboticsynapse

well that proves who the real troll is, good bye,asshole.

[Salien1999]

If I were 10 in 2057, I would annoy my friends by covering up the light they use to make a hologram.

[hongpingmike]

i can't wait until holographic japanese porn!!! imagine what that'll be like in 2057!!!

[muzzikka]

Nice

XD

[tewlive]

It's funny, either everyone acts like they know everything in youtubes comments... or their just plain FN DUMB.

[muffles12]

i am womder if they use agian for 2157 -2150s

[NoStressChessclub]

this certainly is an optimistic and biased view of things. typically the foundations and companies that fund these types of programs are the ones who expect to control the technology so it just turns out to be a commercial for future clients and a recruitment tool for future employees, investors, and partner companies for them. i definitely don't like all the logical fallacies going on in this and i hope people are aware of all the lies and misleading characteristics of this. :( pew pew!

[twphanley]

It would usually take about 50 years to go from concept to realisation when it comes to new technology, in that, a technological breakthrough would reach its peak in 50 yrs. Holographic technology would be refined over the next 50 yrs to include Artificial intelligence, GPS etc.

[evxdaddy]

They still have hot dogs in 2057? Man the future sounds so awesome! Also a little scary though.

[evxdaddy]

@1ramonawhite Dang! 72 years old hope I make it!!!

[MoldovanMayhem]

yeh I will live in a fully wired world.... make me

[mrdexter86]

old school for me, this document should have title 2030 The City ;)

His grandpa in 2057 should look like he would be in his 20's or 30's (whatewer he wants)

This holographis stuff we coluld see in the next 10 years, but no 50 , that's silly concept.

The producers have lack of imagination ;)

[April1991q]

omg i wont a halgraphic bambi and ronno and faline that would be so cool

[celshader]

In the future kids won't need real friends.

[MrPIROCAS]

@celshader and then they will be even more tard than today |:

[jtwith]

i'll be 62 in 2057

[ItsOver9000and10]

It reminds me of the shark from Back to the Future 2!

[muffles12]

@ItsOver9000and10 that was jaws shark movie

[ItsOver9000and10]

I hate that VR interacting sh!t, I hope it never gets invented... oh wait, we have the Wii. :o)

[Newcomer156]

3:08 LOL

Nintendo 3DS, glasses free 3D!

[BazeJr]

I think this is amazing, but i think its going to in a way kill humanity, people are going to become very lazy

[hhamor]

@BazeJr No.

They are still active but with progressing technologies to help them

[onionofdeath]

I hope I'm alive to experience a halo-deck, but I'd hadte to see 3D ads jump out at me!

[zacsparks11]

This reminds me of futurama haha

[AMP2K1]

I hope by the 2100 people will have psycho kinectic powers kind of like the Star Wars movies and we better have lightsabers already. Don't even get me started on jetpacks!

[DoNotLaughAtMe]

@AMP2K1 lol dude we already can make light sabers, just no energy to supply it, mkaku has the answer to all of the awesome technonlogies.

[AMP2K1]

@DoNotLaughAtMe I like Mkaku too. Science isn't my forte but I'm still teaching myself anyway. Occultism is more my passion. But the history and philosophy of science is at least teaching me how to deal with change and criticism much better than I thought before. All good to know if I want to learn from all sources...

[8524562008]

This is all a joke, I bet all these sophisticated machines, vehicles and computers will still be powered by fossil fuels. To be a fully advanced civilization, be must able to quit our addiction to oil and coal and move fully towards renewable energy. It is useless if we have the most advanced computers but actually powered by electricity generated from fossil fuels.

[AMP2K1]

@8524562008 Very true, I agree with you. But we also have to remember to do things the old fashioned way in case technology ever let's us down. Which it has in the past and it can do so again. The Japanese I hear have a special month dedicated to living the old fashioned way so that way the country will be still be ready to function even without technology. I wish the US would be able to do things like that.

[anngra21]

i want a girl doplhin pink one lol

[mcmisher]

@anngra21 ooooh what about a green one??? ;) green's my fav. color!

[andreimat1]

:)) self flushing toilet :)) that s a dream .. for us now .. that looks kind of scary ..

[A9420]

This is a very neat film about the future, but in all likelihood, the future will probably look nothing like this at all. Whenever we tend to make technological forecasts and prognostications, they don't take into account all of the unforseeable innovations and novel inventions which greatly affect our society in the long-run. Take for example, Disney's House of Tomorrow films made back in the 1950's that demonstrated how life might be like around 2000. I'd guess the real future will be better

[SandwidgeVids]

Aww... I will be old as crap that year.

[MSYTManagementCenter]

"ASIMO, packing, not unpacking, you idiot!!"

[frade001]

I can't wait until the chat room goes 3D holographic environment. We'll all be too lazy to ever leave our homes.

[LouistheHedgehog]

@7:12

It's 2057 and he's still using a DOS prompt?

lolololololololol

I think they should have reviewed that a little more.

[DarthZob]

XD asimo the most advanced tech lol they call it a piece of junk =C poor robot ;(
