30 Predictions From “Retro Future” That Were Either A Hit Or A Miss

Liucija Adomaite and Ilona Baliūnaitė

30张上世纪初人们心目中的未来想象场景,有些已经实现而有些还须努力

It’s crazy to think both how short and infinitely long a century is. You see, Motorola’s DynaTAC, the first cell phone, was launched in 1984 for a price of $3,995. And today, nobody can imagine their life without touch-screen mobiles with integrated Leica cameras and AI face recognition systems that come at much less than Motorola’s initial price.
So imagine how differently people back then perceived the advancements in technology that looked both incredible and life-changing. And they were. But technology, and the world we live in, escalates so quickly that it surpasses our best forecasts for what the future holds.
And this time, we are talking a look at retro-futuristic examples created in the previous century that give us a glimpse into weird and wonderful dreams of the human mind.

一个世纪说长不长说短不短,但想想都很疯狂。你看,摩托罗拉的DynaTAC是1984年推出的第一部售价为3995美元(注:约26000人民币)手机。而如今,你几乎无法想象没有集成徕卡相机、人工智能、人脸识别系统以及触摸屏手机的生活,而这些手机的价格比当初摩托罗拉最初的价格便宜的多得多。
所以,想象一下,当时的人们对科技的想象千态万状,这些科技看起来既不可思议,又会改变生活。且雄心满满。但是,技术和我们生活的世界发展得如此之快,以至于它已经超过了我们对未来最大胆的想象。这一次,让我们来看看上个世纪创造的复古未来主义的例子,一瞥人类头脑中怪异而美妙的梦想吧。

Except for the cigarettes lol.

烟是例外,哈哈

And except for the flying car.

除了飞行汽车。

I think its a joint ;)

I think the flying car should be forgiven because it's only economics and air traffic management that has inhibited that.

没有飞行汽车我认为能理解,因为它被经济性和空中管制给限制住了。

Pretty damn accurate!

Their equipment to make video calls is much clunkier than ours, but the idea is just the same. Flying cars...sigh...I think those of us who were kids in the '60s (and later) were quite convinced there'd be flying cars by the 2020s.

他们想象的可视电话比我们的要笨重得多,但理念是一样的。飞行汽车…哎…我认为,我们这些在60年代(及之后)还是孩子的人,都以为到本世纪20年代,天上满是飞行汽车的。

Mary Peace
It's pretty close, apart from the size of the equipment.

还真挺有点那个意思,就是设备体积大了点

They got the product right. The only thing they got wrong was that technology would enable everything to be made much more compact. And smoking...?!

This is actually cool. when you order something, as the truck moves to your house, they are also preparing the food. It gets to you as soon as it's plated. AMAZING

这真的很酷。当你点东西的时候,这种车就会开导你家边上,然后开始做。做好后就送到你手上。真神奇

MyMyMySharona
There's a food truck in my town that does this, but they deliver to a very limited area. Idk if they actually cook while they drive, but they do cook the food in the truck and deliver it hot straight to your front door. I wish I was in their neighborhood!

我住的镇上就有一辆这种形式的餐车,但他们配送范围有限。我不知道他们是否真的边开车边做饭,但他们确实会在车把吃的做好,然后把刚做好的热菜直接送到你家门口。真希望我家就在他们附近!

Mimi777
That sounds amazing. I want one in my town.

听起来不可思议。我希望我们镇也能有一个。

This is a groovy thing. It would take some hellacious balloon to lift someone (me, anyway.) All you'd need is a stiff breeze and it's off to the races!

Not even close to the entire knowledge. In fact, it's mostly filtered and censored today, not to mention not entirely archived. At least you recycle, though.

说能全部了解就过了,事实上,你现在所看到的大部分内容和信息都被过滤掉、审查过了,更不用说完整内容。但至少还算环保。

Edwin Quantrall
"We'll call it: THE EVENING NEWS!"

我们通常把这叫做:晚间新闻!

Azziza
Can you imagine how annoying it would be to have to sit in front of the TV to read the newspaper? How could anyone think this would be an improvement. Newspapers are so compact and portable, you can read them anywhere, why would you want to have to go home and sit in front of the TV to read a paper???

你能想象在电视机前看报纸是有多别扭么?这能算是进步?报纸内容紧凑方便携带,你可以随时随地拿出来看,还有,为啥你非得回家坐在电视机前看报纸啊? ? ?

Mishte Tine
So the internet, conceptually, has a much longer history than we might think.

因此,从概念上讲,互联网的历史比我们想的要长得多。

我敢打赌,如果你告诉他们,报纸不仅能在电视上看,而且还能在电脑、手机、智能手表上看,这会让他们感到震惊的。

David Ruggieri
They couldn't have chosen a more cheery article?

他们能在那上面找到一篇自己喜欢的文章吗?

Luis Machado
Actually we have that in Portugal. It's one the apps of the telecomunications operator tv box. Newspapers frontpages from all kinds of newspapers and the world.

葡萄牙电信商提供的机顶盒里的APP就能提供来自世界各地的报纸头版。
#6自动驾驶

Self Driving Cars Of The Future, Circa 1960

1960年想象中的自动驾驶汽车。
原创翻译:龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处



Norma
Even if this were 100% proven safe, it scares the crap out of me!!

即使说这东西100%安全,我也一点不敢去坐!!

MyMyMySharona
Human drivers scare the crap out of me.

人开车更吓人

Jace
Human beings can think. Software cannot. Software also has tons of flaws in the supposedly finished product, and we are expected to consider this as normal.

人可以思考。但软件不能。即使说成熟商用的软件那里面也不可能没有问题,我们认为这是正常的。

Finn Jager
One of the flaws a computer controlled machine has is when it is a non controlled enviorment like a highway, where non automatic cars are driven by unpredictable human beings.

计算机控制机器的缺陷之一是,当它遇到突发未知情况就完蛋了。比如在高速公路遇到不可预测的有人驾驶汽车。

Bent. O. Jensen
Response to Jace: Humans think of other things when driving like talking on their mobile, trying to calm down kids or dogs, grocery list. Machines can talk to each other and avoid collisions, drive fast without distractions etc. But the problems is when humans drivers react in unpredictable ways. Then it doesn't matter if the other driver is human or software.

人们在开车时同时也能干其他事情,比如打手机,试图让孩子或狗安静下来,要买什么东西。机器间可以相互协调,避免碰撞,快速驾驶,不受干扰等。但问题是,当人类司机以不可预测的方式做出反应时。对方是自动驾驶还是有人驾驶结果就没啥区别了。

fuggnuggins
Response to Jace: AI algorithms solve problems that we can not even begin to understand. We can't even understand what they are doing. Computers are drastically more efficient and reliable than humans. The only limitation going forward is the ability of humans to put it to good use.

人工智能算法解决了我们根本无法理解的问题。我们甚至都无法理解他们在做什么。计算机比人类更高效、更可靠。计算机发展的唯一局限是人类使用它的能力。

Anna Banana
Me, too! Imagine spending a 6-hour drive playing dominoes with your family...

我也希望这玩意能实现!想象一下,6个小时的旅程,你和你家人要是能在一起玩麻将的话…

Amazon QT
I don’t trust some REAL PEOPLE that drive vehicles- let alone a vehicle that drives itself.

So the Italians thought of the Popemobile before it was constructed, and then predicted everybody would have their own personal Popemobile decades in the future. This certainly would make finding a parking spot so much easier.

The Future Of Phones, 1956

1956年想象的未来电话

Not even in the imagined picture is it possible to hold the phone comfortably.

Roxy Eastland
It's very important that a woman's hand always looks sexy, not comfy.

很重要的一点是,这东西女人用起来会突出女人手的性感,而不是舒适。

Mishte Tine
And iPhones are so ergonomic, aren’t they? Hee...

iPhones设计的很符合人体工学,难道不是么?

mph seti
Funny how they didn't envision the cord being cut, even though wireless communications did exist.

有趣的是,即使那时候无线通信已经出现,他们也没想到把电话线去掉。

Anita Marx
See the nails in the middle? All phones are wired, not mobile. When I watched American sitcoms as a kid, the phone was always in the kitchen with an unbelievable long wire. I always wondered why.

这种手机握得住么?这些电话都是有线的,没法移动。小时候看美国情景喜剧的时候,总见厨房里装个这种电话,上面还连着一根长的不可思议的线。我一直想知道为什么。

Christine
The long "wires" were so you could walk around. We had a kitchen phone mounted on the wall and the phone cord (cord from wall to handset) was so long you could clean the entire kitchen and walk partway down the hall way. Before the handset became wireless, you were trapped by the length of the phone cords. On the flip side, the handset was large enough that you could trap it between your shoulder and your ear and keep both hands free.

电话上的那长长的“电线”是为了让你可以四处走动。我家就按了一个壁挂电话,电话线(从墙壁到听筒的电话线)很长,线长的足够你拿着它打扫整个厨房,至少能走到一半的走廊。在无线电话出现之前,你会被电话线的长度所束缚。还有,电话要足够大,最好大到你可以把它夹在你肩膀和脑袋之间,解放双手。

Mewton’s Third Paw
Holographic nails are suuuuuuper popular. More futuristic looking than plain silver

全息指甲非常受欢迎。比纯银色更有未来感

So THAT'S the durned fool who decided to put the buttons right next to my ear so I can't push 'em!! Wait till I get my hands on that varmint!!

1969 Japanese Vision Of The Future Classroom, The Odd Part Is That Included Small Robots To Rap Students On The Head When Misbehaving

1969年日本人想象中的未来教室,有意思的是,如果那个学生不老实,一个小机器人就自动跑到他身边敲打一下他的脑袋。


Farid Red
Its not for misbehaving, its for punishment for getting wrong answer. Compare each student screen. Cruel.

这不是对淘气的惩罚,而是对做题人做错的惩罚。看一下被机器人敲打那个孩子面前的屏幕把。好残忍的。

Tame panda
Yes it is cruel and abusive and against their mental well-being. And the robot hand is made of metal.

这简直就是残忍虐待,对孩子们的心理健康丝毫无益。注意。这个小机器人伸出来的小手是金属做的。

Sac Shim
No, the writing on the top left says “Even if your answer is wrong, you can recalculate. You use the computer like a notebook. But if you’re not paying attention and are looking elsewhere, the robot may punish you, for the teacher!”. Judging from the kids faces, including the one that’s getting hit on the head, the ball attached to the robot is not a steel ball. It’s not really a corporal punishment, but rather “reminder” by a sponge ball or something.

你错了,左上角的字说的意思是“即使你答错了,你也可以再算一遍。”电脑代替了记事本。但如果你不集中注意力,爱溜号,机器人可能代为老师惩罚你!”从孩子们表情,还有被打后的反应来看,机器人伸出来的小手上安的并不是钢球。这不是真正的体罚,而是用绵球或其他东西 “提醒”用的。

Even more ironic to rap them on the head.

比较讽刺的是敲他们的脑袋。
