if you told those people that in 60 yrs people would be vacu-sucking their unborn children out of their mothers wombs by the thousands im sure they would say that the future has much in store for humanity
No matter how silly an invention might seem, the thought behind it can lead to great things. Personally, I think a lot of these items could be useful today, either as they are or with just a little bit of tweaking.
Why the hell aren't we still trying to invent things like this? This "try anything, see what happens" spirit is what made america a superpower. Now progress is only achieved for immediate profit!
1:24, 2:11, 2:37, 3:27, 4:00,4:30, all practical inventions, some even innovative. For example 2:37 is a solid rubber tire, unpoppable by the horseshoes that commonly popped the old high-pressure balloon tires on rural roads. It makes sense, and is now being reinvented as the "tweel"
That tentacled cotton sucker looks like something out of an old Japanese sci fi movie. It'd be great to live back then, but.... no air conditioning. That kinda ruins the whole thing for me.
@xxgolgothasaurxx They did have air conditioners back then. But they were very expensive and not widespread. Also they were using Ether based refrigerant for cooling.
people of the future will laugh at us. Al;though holding a fully functional telephone in your hand, and wanting to communicate with someone else holding a similar instrument, people frantically typed with their thumbs instead of just speaking!!
some of those inventions were actually pretty good, such as the basis for modern helicopters etc the 20s clearly was a very innovative era for inventors I wonder in modern life why we aren't so creative anymore, long live the retro days and Japan for being one of the few countries still producing wacky and wonderful technology.
Some of these inventions are not at all crazy. The ship with the tall 'funnels' is interesting, these are not funnels but rotating cylinders which drive the ship by an aerodynamic effect. The Baird televisor at the end not only worked but showed the picture in colour!
@shelton705 things are not as they were. environmental, economical, ethical and social deterioration, corruption, violence, greed, all of these have reached record breaking heights, followed by the fact that they are irreversible.
@londonparistokyo I'd like to get to point when in say 2050, I can proudly show a generation now yet to be born, a record, and the required player from last century.
These people are much more "can do" than we are today. Let's not forget that we landed on the moon - OVER 40 YEARS AGO! Now we can't even replace the space shuttle. We have regressed to the pop culture mentality and we can't build anything.
You are SO RIGHT on this one. I am a school teacher, and we are graduating great test takers, but no great minds. Colleges don't do much better either. We are nothing BUT a pop culture now.
very true.The goverment are making people dumb on purpose and lazy.All people do is spend there time trying to find gadgits and and cookers that cook there food faster so they can spend more time whatcing the tv or spending money in the stores.
One of the reasons why we have become less Can Do in our outlook than our forebears is thanks, in a large part, to lawyers, politicians and bureaucrats who have insinuated themselves into our lives to a much greater degree than in any other time in our modern history.
@nonsquid I've always thought the exact same thing, The early 1900s are the greatest period in American history because this was a time when Americans could do absolutly anything. In this time period some of the worlds greatest wonders were built and we have so much technology from then still in use today
@kaishininjou I have actually been in one of those RVs at a Palo Alto car show - it had a few more windows but otherwise was about the same design. Very well made for the day but it was too expensive to produce in the Depression.
"Taller = Faster" - Take that item in context - a coal fired boiler with taller smokestacks: More draw on the furnace, more heat, more steam. From an engineering viewpoint, quite logical and practical - and it works! LOL!
I loved this. Most of these weren't crazy at all. Like the early version of a camper van or double decker bus. They were just earlier incarnations that had yet to be perfected. Cool!
if anything it was a machine to make your fingers longer. there were a lot more pianists back in the 20's, and small hands is one problems that pianist never really knew how to cure.
Samuel Morse patented the Telegraph machine in 1838, and this was what brought an end years later to the pony express. combining the inventions of the telegraph with the type writer,etc. they came up with teletype. People figured how to modify it to send pictures by the late 1800's this became known as telephotography and was used by newspaper businesses. On tvs the jetsons George Jetson has a car that folds up and fits in a briefcase we aren't their yet, but someone made a fold up motor device
Man, things have changed a lot! A lot of people cringe at the thought of living back in those days, but hey, the technology of the era was the cat's ass to the people living back then. I can imagine 80 years from now, the 2000s will look like the stone age. Just look at all that's changed in the past 10 years. Things change so quickly now. One minute you got a cassette walkman, the next you got a little thing the size of a walnut that can hold 1,000 songs.
In fact, I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds! You think everything has allready been invented, and nothing can progress further than this, but people have thought that 100 years ago. And look at all that's changed since then!
People will look back at us and think "How can they live like that?"... hehe I can imagine myself 50 years from now, telling my grandkids about life waaay back in the 1990s and 2000s.
I'm 23 and allready feel old lol... the '90s feel like 100 years ago.
I remember the early 90's when I was a kid. The world was vastly different back then even. No cell phones, no internet. Payphones still existed. You had to call hotlines to figure out how to beat videogames. If you went out no one could contact you. Discmans were super sweet and walkman's were outdated. If you had a discman that had 14 second skip control you could lug it around with you and listen to your grunge music where ever you wanted. Life was good and simple.
Yep, games back in the 90's videogames were simple but fun and gaming consoles weren't internet browsers, with DLCs and all that junk the video game biz is now a rat race, I have a 10 year old NES that still works yet I here about todays "hi-tech" game consoles getting red rings left and right.
Back then inventions were typicly useful and innovative, now innovatives used falsely and rather than making cars that we can put in our homes we're making cards that can hold music.
I wish I was alive back then, when people lived in reality instead of behind their cell phones, computers, and televisions. It looks like a lot of fun! But what are they doing at 2:30? It looks like they are vacuuming up flowers.
Wow! The first Jazzy Scooter! I predict WalMarts everywhere will buy dozens per store! Just think, driving up and down the aisles, blocking everyone else!
I'm not sure I'd care to wear that cast iron pressure suit and be lowered 12,000 feet down to look for the Titanic. Yikes!
I look at these videos and am amazed at society's progress in the last 80+ years.
Some people laugh (and dread) the ideas of life back then but what will happen in the next 80 years? Generations are going to look back at us and laugh! I think the early 20th century would have been the best time to live.
Most definatly, today we have better technology but the 1920's was by far the best decade America had and will ever have. I would give my airconditioner, Internet, and Tv set if i could live during the Jazz age. Style, Culture, Prosperity, and Optimism. We hardly see that in todays society.
to caitiepie99: as far as "i would hate to live in the olden days". I am only 55 years old an when I was a kid there were no home computers, no cable, very few "color" TVs, only about 3 TV chanels, no cell phones, no telephone answering machines, no ipods, no video games, most homes did not even have air conditioning, So I guess what I am saying is.....you don't have to go back very far for it to be "the olden days" anymore....technology is moving so fast now.
to caitiepie99: Actually people my age look back at it with fondness. I can rememberas kids we did alot of activities like a whole bunch of us would cruise the neighborhoods on our bikes (bicycles) for like hours and no one could get hold of you because there were no cell phones, listening to "records", listening to that new type of radio called FM radio (lol), all kinds of sports, if you were into that. You don't miss what you don't know will exist in the future i guess
Exactly. Kids used to go outside and play. They were fitter, rosier cheeked and weren't allergic to everything. I hate seeing all these youngsters walking around in their own little worlds texting each other instead of communicating face to face. Communicative skills are an important development in later life. I fear that they won't know how.
Oh they've already taken over. Look how they address adults, and look how their parents do nothing to correct it. I wouldn't dream of ever speaking to my parents or other adults the way that they do today.
That's not true! Adults CAN correct it if they only would! All they do is sit around let their kids do whatever they want. Even the schools are that way, letting kids get away with anything. The law is ALSO that way. They arrested a lady just for spanking her kids! I was raised under very strict terms. I am 14 years old and i don't even own a cell phone. Nor do I own any video games or video game systems. I am only aloud to use the computer one hour a day, and the TV only after it's dark out.
how about instead of pointing fingers at who's fault it is, we do something about it????
or perhaps no one will have to anything about it, perhaps an economic collapse is apon us. Perhaps after we suffer another depression and kids aged 18 and younger have to go out and work labor or plant food in order to keep from starving for mere pennies a day would straighten their behinds out.
Maybe economic collapse is the best thing that could happen to USA
Age has NOTHING to do with wisdom! Look at Jeffery Dahmers, He was over 30, and he CERTAINLY couldn't be trusted! The best way for anyone to get wisdom, is to read the Bible and pray for knowledge. wisdom CAN NOT be judged by age, EVER. Anyone can say "you're under 30 and can't be trusted." Just exactly as anyone can say "You're over 30 and can't be trusted" , but that does not make it true.
I do pay my taxes. I have a job 4 nights a week working at a Japanese Steakhouse being a bus boy. Every time i get my paycheck, tax is deducted. Every time I buy something at the store, tax is deducted. I just get angered to hear people complaining about how awful kids are , and how they are so good for nothing. That's hypocritical. We are merely a product of our parents and the world.
Evidence in my comment? The country is in bad shape, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hit another depression.
Would you mind telling me where you get your legitimate information that provides you with a your idea that people under 30 can't be trusted?? I think that would be very amusing. Maybe economic collapse IS the best thing that could happen, maybe not. However I CAN inform you that there is a great deal of things we can do to help it, if we only would. But no one wants to take a kid's advice. They NEVER do. Adults always know. It's evident by the way this Country is.
At 1:31 (ship with two columns): The ship is equipped with "Flettner rotors". (You can see the name "Flettner" on the side of the ship at 1:37.) See Wikipedia: "Rotor ship".
At 1:09? Is it supposed to increase the span of pianists' fingers?
We are at a time in history 100 years down the track where the excitement of Karl Benz, Henry Ford and his Motor Car, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi, Thomas Edison and his wonderful inventions & others that paved the development of the 20th Century has been reinstalled into the hearts and minds of those engaged in the development of technology passing into the 21st Century. GenericGene
Those crazy people! What'll they think of next!? But then again! Most of those worked and were practical, and they said Tesla was crazy. They're not crazy! There just ahead of there time! And a bit eccentric.
Imagine how different the world would have been if it wern't for the great depression, and WWII? Then the cold war? It seems that just when things start to get good, something happens.
Right now, my province (Saskatchewan (in western Canada)) is in a huge boom... I predict depression II, and our economy relies greatly on agroculture, so we'd be as fucked as we were in the '30s. I just hope people don't turn to socialism like in the last depression.

The electric (city) car was all the rage in those days. No stinking gasoline or exhausts. The only real improvement of today is range.
Armored diving suits get reinvented or adapted for new purposes up to this day.
The Flettner rotors (not high smokestacks!) have made a comeback too. They can save a lot of fuel for large ships while being quite cheap.
The steel spring 'tyres' were used by Germany in WW1 because natural rubber was unavailable and synthetic not yet invented.

I look at these videos and am amazed at society's progress in the last 80+ years.
Some people laugh (and dread) the ideas of life back then but what will happen in the next 80 years? Generations are going to look back at us and laugh! I think the early 20th century would have been the best time to live.

Most definatly, today we have better technology but the 1920's was by far the best decade America had and will ever have. I would give my airconditioner, Internet, and Tv set if i could live during the Jazz age. Style, Culture, Prosperity, and Optimism. We hardly see that in todays society.

to caitiepie99: as far as "i would hate to live in the olden days". I am only 55 years old an when I was a kid there were no home computers, no cable, very few "color" TVs, only about 3 TV chanels, no cell phones, no telephone answering machines, no ipods, no video games, most homes did not even have air conditioning, So I guess what I am saying is.....you don't have to go back very far for it to be "the olden days" anymore....technology is moving so fast now.

Omg i feel for you like having to live like that . If i had to live like that., i would like kill myself.
the furthest like i could go back would be like that 90's.

to caitiepie99: Actually people my age look back at it with fondness. I can rememberas kids we did alot of activities like a whole bunch of us would cruise the neighborhoods on our bikes (bicycles) for like hours and no one could get hold of you because there were no cell phones, listening to "records", listening to that new type of radio called FM radio (lol), all kinds of sports, if you were into that. You don't miss what you don't know will exist in the future i guess

It sounds pretty cool if you ask me. Who says you need video games to have fun?
Ikaguah34 2 years ago 3
Exactly. Kids used to go outside and play. They were fitter, rosier cheeked and weren't allergic to everything. I hate seeing all these youngsters walking around in their own little worlds texting each other instead of communicating face to face. Communicative skills are an important development in later life. I fear that they won't know how.

That's not true! Adults CAN correct it if they only would! All they do is sit around let their kids do whatever they want. Even the schools are that way, letting kids get away with anything. The law is ALSO that way. They arrested a lady just for spanking her kids! I was raised under very strict terms. I am 14 years old and i don't even own a cell phone. Nor do I own any video games or video game systems. I am only aloud to use the computer one hour a day, and the TV only after it's dark out.

you're under 30 and can't be trusted.
how about instead of pointing fingers at who's fault it is, we do something about it????
or perhaps no one will have to anything about it, perhaps an economic collapse is apon us. Perhaps after we suffer another depression and kids aged 18 and younger have to go out and work labor or plant food in order to keep from starving for mere pennies a day would straighten their behinds out.
Maybe economic collapse is the best thing that could happen to USA

Age has NOTHING to do with wisdom! Look at Jeffery Dahmers, He was over 30, and he CERTAINLY couldn't be trusted! The best way for anyone to get wisdom, is to read the Bible and pray for knowledge. wisdom CAN NOT be judged by age, EVER. Anyone can say "you're under 30 and can't be trusted." Just exactly as anyone can say "You're over 30 and can't be trusted" , but that does not make it true.

my evidence that no one under 30 can be trusted lays right there in your comment.
sorry, but wisdom does come with age.
Just ask the Dahli lama...
nice try kido, come back when your old enough to pay taxes, drive a car, vote, then we might be able to have a real conversation.
but untill you've left the comforts of mommy and daddy, you know nothing about the world.
You're a kid... don't be in such a hurry to grow up squirt! enjoy your youth while you have it.

I do pay my taxes. I have a job 4 nights a week working at a Japanese Steakhouse being a bus boy. Every time i get my paycheck, tax is deducted. Every time I buy something at the store, tax is deducted. I just get angered to hear people complaining about how awful kids are , and how they are so good for nothing. That's hypocritical. We are merely a product of our parents and the world.
Evidence in my comment? The country is in bad shape, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hit another depression.

Would you mind telling me where you get your legitimate information that provides you with a your idea that people under 30 can't be trusted?? I think that would be very amusing. Maybe economic collapse IS the best thing that could happen, maybe not. However I CAN inform you that there is a great deal of things we can do to help it, if we only would. But no one wants to take a kid's advice. They NEVER do. Adults always know. It's evident by the way this Country is.

At 1:09? Is it supposed to increase the span of pianists' fingers?

We are at a time in history 100 years down the track where the excitement of Karl Benz, Henry Ford and his Motor Car, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi, Thomas Edison and his wonderful inventions & others that paved the development of the 20th Century has been reinstalled into the hearts and minds of those engaged in the development of technology passing into the 21st Century.

Imagine how different the world would have been if it wern't for the great depression, and WWII? Then the cold war? It seems that just when things start to get good, something happens.
Right now, my province (Saskatchewan (in western Canada)) is in a huge boom... I predict depression II, and our economy relies greatly on agroculture, so we'd be as fucked as we were in the '30s. I just hope people don't turn to socialism like in the last depression.
