If someone came to you in 1995 and said in 2015 everyone would have a little computer in their pocket that's thinner than a pencil and is basically just a very high quality screen tha5t can do everything., With fulll access to the internet, and able to make phone calls to anyone, or video calls to anyone anywhere in the world. And the video quality would be better than the highest end picture photography. And it was 1000x faster than the best computers now. Would you believe them?
i was 4
Probably. Electronics were improving at a break-neck pace back then.
>>107550253Yes. All that shit was predicted way earlier and technological development at the moment made it credible
>>107550253>that can do everythingyour definition of everything seems to lack quite a lot you could do on a computer (desktop or laptop).over than that, nice pic in op
>>107550253>Damn, where can I get one of those PDAs from 2015?
>>1075502531995? Yea, easily.
I wasn't born at the time so I would be incapable of believing or not believing them.
>>107550253Yeah, I mean. It would sound plausible.
>>107550253they had such device in star trek tv-serie 1966-1969https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060028/
>>107550332Jan 1, 1996 niggas BTFO
>>107550253Yes but I think people would ask themselves why they would need it. If they wanted to call or use a computer they had that stuff at home or at their desk so..???
>>107550331I always wanted to have one of these back in the day :'(
well i was 2 years old at the time so i was most likely sucking the teat and shitting my diaper
>>107550253yes, because I was that someone in 1995 who was saying that
>>107550253I would resoind with gaah ba budh waaaaah
>>107550253>And the video quality would be better than the highest end picture photography.It's not even close.
>>107550253>If someone came to you in 1995I wasn't born yet, make it 2005
>>107550300>>107550332>>107550474>>107550705>>107550794Do you really believe someone would make a thread about what people in 1995 thought, and want the input of zoomers?You could have just not posted at all
>>107550825using 4chan at 45 is just sad
>>107550253I saw how fast computers were progressing back then, so I probs would have believed most of it. Except maybe this part:> thinner than a pencil
>>107550858> thinner 6mmIs there something as thin?
>>107550858I'd have told you in 1995, well imagine a calculator. They're thinner than pencils they just have a small cheap display on them. Imagine the whole calculator is just one big computer screen. Calculators used to take up a whole room, then they got small enough to fit on a desk, then they were big as bricks, and now in 1995 they're small enough to carry in your p0ocket.And then you'd ask about well where would the buttons go? And then you'd be told, the screens will be touch screens. You just press the number on the screenWould you get it then?
>>107550253I think the mind-blowing part for them would be how quickly normal people got dragged onto the Internet after it was made available on their phones and how the world wide web platform got turned into a surrogate bootloader for all new software projects going forward because programmers became retards and didn't want to write native software anymore.
>>107550253I wasn't born yet, unc.
>>107550916Yet we can never seem to top the heights of the HP-41CX ecosystem.
>>107550849Don't forget. You're here forever.
>>107550253Yes, PDAs existed and I had used them. Computers were getting faster and smaller at a rapid rate.
>>107550253Zoomies really have no idea how quickly tech moved in the 90s,>> The Internet will be to women in the ’90s what the vibrator was to women in the ’70s. It’s going to have that power. – Lisa Palac, 1994https://www.elon.edu/u/imagining/time-capsule/early-90s/brief-but-biting-quotes/
>>107550253its going to be glasses and eventually contacts before the end of the 2020's
>>107551739Lotta gems here btw>> We techies should be more honest about what computers can do and what they cannot do, or else we are setting ourselves up for a big pie in the face. – Clifford Stoll, 1995
>> Just as the development of the Interstate Highway System led to the creation of McDonald’s hamburgers, Holiday Inn and a thousand other new commercial developments that would have been impossible without the Interstate Highway System, in the same way we will see the emergence of information services on a nationwide basis that will be extremely profitable and nearly ubiquitous. – Al Gore, 1993
>>107550253This is from the 70's
>>107550253I'd say "yeah, I saw that episode of Beyond 2000 last night too".
