Predicting the future and imagining seemingly impossible inventions and scenarios are the hallmarks of science fiction. This collection of videos will give you a taste of the extent of human imagination and its foray in the real world.

Clothing of the future

A recently uncovered video from the 1930s shows what people then thought about fashion and clothing would be like in the year 2000. We don’t know why they made this video, but it’s hilarious.

Future technology NOW

The era of new wave science fiction of the 1960s and 1970s saw the emergence of many dreams of the future. This video clip, shot in 1967, is a prediction of technologies in 1999. How accurate do you think they were?

Technology in 2015

In the 1980s, there was a lot of talk about the year 2015 because a popular film, Back to the Future Part II, was set almost entirely in that year. Unsurprisingly, a lot of 2015 we see in the film looks like the 80s, but there is some technology there we’d like now. We’re still two years away from 2015, so fingers crossed!

Travelling through time with the Doctor

Television show Doctor Who is about the adventures of a time-travelling humanoid alien who is simply called the Doctor. This video lists 11 things the Doctor was able to do with the aid of time travel.

If you thought that was cool, watch this video. Scientists talk about whether time travel, Doctor Who style, is probable. The conclusion may surprise you.

Sure, technology is evolving at break-neck speed, but the other evolution – human evolution – hasn’t ended yet. Technology has only made our evolution slower. This video shows what the future has in store for the human species, specifically, what the future will make us look like.
