Have you seen britishpathe on YouTube? If you haven’t, finish reading this post and then hop over there as fast as you can. Seriously, search up their channel like they’re selling hot cakes.
They post really old videos there, videos even older than that ancient great auntie you have, the one that keeps on getting you pink frilly knickers every Christmas.
Have a look at this fat baby, for example.
Did you see how he immediately sets to work fetching the chocolate? I wonder how the kid grew up…
Look at the phones from 1922:
I wonder what those ladies would have thought if they saw a Blackberry or an iPhone! The old phones were much better, don’t you think? Imagine being made to carry that around by your parents. Imagine having to go through all that trouble to pick it up! It’d earn you so many missed calls…
I’ve stumbled upon thousands of articles, each sadly and dramatically informing us (falsely?) of our future. Everyone wants to know something about it. Will there be flying cars, will we suddenly mutate into strange beings? What about the end of the world?
Flying Cars
Have you ever thought about whizzing through the sky in a car? I have. I don’t like it. Cars are made for the ground. They’re supposed to be driven, not flown. Planes are for the sky. I seriously hope that flying cars aren’t ever released for sale. Oh. Apparently the ‘American agency for development of advanced military technologies DARPA’ patented a flying car that will be used for the army. Wow, I can imagine Americans flying around, shooting guns and laughing.
Robots
I can bet my ass that everyone is at least a tiny bit frightened at the thought of robots in the future. Robots already exist, obviously, but what will they be like a few years later? I sure hope they don’t turn out like the ones in the Terminator movies.
The Japanese have produced many things that have left us staring at the YouTube video advertising it in shock. They’ve even made a nurse robot.
Hopefully, if they make more robots, they’ll use them in a good way, and not to kill us all. Actually, I hope the robots don’t turn against us, as that’s more likely.
Mutated Humans
Wow, that actually sounds scarier in bold. It is highly possible, in my opinion. Scientists are getting pretty curious about our bodies. Everyone is wanting to find out how to enhance their body, stuff like breast enlargers are already being thrown out into the market for god’s sake!
I can imagine the whole scene: A wild crazy scientist “I’ve done it! The test is complete! We now know how to- be careful! You don’t want to knock over the test tube, I told you that it might make the human develop zombie tendencies, and mutate horribly- NO!” And the mutated being suddenly jumps out, rips free from the velcro straps and smashes the glass to the lab, free and untamed.
2012
Finally, probably the thing people secretly fear the most, 2012. I don’t think anything too major is going to happen in 2012. Oh you know, apart from the goddamn apocalypse. Just kidding. But seriously, there are many sites explaining how we can save ourselves from this ‘impending doom’ . One thing I have to say to them. Ok bro, if it’s the end of the world, it’s the end of the world. You can’t freakin’ escape it by having a few extra band-aids or packing a gun. If we’re meant to die, we’re gonna die. End of.
I don’t really know if anything is gonna happen, I can just wait like the rest of you lot. But if it does happen, then see you in heaven (I hope they give out free movie tickets there). Or hell, it depends.
