Can you imagine being born in 1900 and dying in 2000? It always

Apart from TV, not that much changed unless if you lived in a major city or Europe

30 years can pass by in rural areas and not much will actually change.

The 19th has been pretty fast changing, too. Compare technology in the 1850 to technology on the 1900. Urbanism, for example, changed drastically, from normal human based towns to car-centered megalopolis.

If you felt like it's seems that you're a fag.

Trust me it will be a lot worse in 2000-21000.

When I was small: i-pads, twitter, ebay, google, wikipedia, smartphones... all that shit didn't exist.

>>37470936
Yeah dude i wonder what life will be like in 21,000 ad

>>37470936
Wow there m8 I don't know If I'll live THAT long.

Assuming that the average life expectancy continues to go up as the older generations die off, we could think that people born in 2000 could live well up to 2125.

Since we are talking about the future, does anyone wonder what the place of history studies will be in the future?

I mean, jesus christ, people in the future will be able to (assuming the internet's infraestructure doesn't come tumbling down at some point for some reason) look up porn of people who have been dead for centuries, or even millenia.

Like, I always feel that the closer the representations of life we have are to IRL, the more "modern" something feels. Like, the hyper-realistic paitings of the 1600s make that era feel more "modern" than the crude paintings of, say, the classical period, but having so much writting from that era makes it feel close still.

And then when cameras became a thing then shit that just feels like they're practically living alongside us, while the stickman figures of the 5000 b.C are almost unsettling to look at.

Anyway my point is, if we don't have a calamity during the next 10,000 years, don't you think people will feel a huge disconnect between our current times, and just 300 years before? Like, "oh man 2010 a.D feels a lot closer to our time than it does to 1500 a.D despite the fact that they're literally closer to each other than to us".

>>37470941
What are you even talking about? I can't understand your gibberish.

Anyway I think it's pretty sad that cameras where invented after history has almost ended. Footage of Hitler or Stalin or the Berlin wall is maybe the only footage we have of real history.

People in the future won't sure as hell be too interested in Obama or Trump.

Considering the massive advances in technology we're on the edge of, you might live much longer than 2100.

There won't be an organ waiting list when you can fabricate genetically modified or cybernetically enhanced ones in a say or two. Heart encrusted with plaque? Here's a slick polymer one that won't accumulate shit and reports your BPM and general circulatory health to your devices. Got cirrhosis? Have a modified one that simply won't scar over, etc etc.

>Yet when I approach this different task, I find it hard indeed to have to stammer and retract what I have written before about the lives of Justinian and Theodora. Worse yet, it occurs to me that what I am now about to tell will seem neither probable nor plausible to future generations, especially as time flows on and my story becomes ancient history. I fear they may think me a writer of fiction, and even put me among the poets.

This makes me feel so sad. I wonder if one day the things we believe in, things we are certain will be considered as a joke.

Don't worry Fukuyama said we reached the end of history

All you'll see is a succession of leaders and (hopefully) an end to Russian Aggression.

>>37470943
So, technology does end humans, but not the way we expected it to? People will just stop having kids if they can live for longer and longer, not to mention the resource allocation of a population of 13 billion+ who live 1000 years.

Not him, but you just responded to him which is even more autistic.

With more time to live I think people will naturally out off parenting. The real blow will be the second our dumb AI and materials catch up to robotics, when we can finally put together a robot that's extremely similar (if not identical) to an actual person and make it affordable, we'll see a sharp decrease in birthrates naturally. People can turn their urges on the sexbots and save child rearing and love for people they actually care for.

my grandmother was born in 1917... yes she will be 100 years old this August. 100 fucking years old. She unironically remembers phonographs and shit.

Now she gets to see the world as it is today.. the only solace I take is that she doesn't use/know very much or anything about the internet so she doesn't know JUST how degenerate society is now

>>37470994
>degenerate
It hasn't changed much, we're just acknowledging what was always there

>>37470930

I wonder the same too, OP.

I've always thought it must be incredible to live from about 1840 or 1850 to halfway through the twentieth century.

Imagine growing up in a United States still connected by patches of dirt road and the railroad. You'd live through the Civil War and the advent of the automobile and airplanes.

By the time you die, wars would be fought with machine guns and atomic bombs; flying over the Atlantic for holidays in Europe would be expensive but possible.

That'd be fucking crazy.

>>37470994

le born in the wrong generation xD

it has change a lot in fact. my grandmother never in her wildest dreams would have imagined that we would be walking around with computers in our pockets and girls twerk on chad and tyrone's dick for basically nothing

>She unironically remembers phonographs and shit.

there's this girl i've talked to on gaia like that. she grew up out in the country and didn't have running water and shit. total fucking freak.

My grandmother died on her 100th birthday. I always thought it was tody, checking out on the same day she was born.

I for one find it very interesting. My grandmother passed away three weeks ago at the age of 83. She got to see so many advances in technology and society. Not only she was old enough to experience WW2 first hand, but also "smaller" stuff. For example, she told me how one family owned the only telephone in the nearby radius and how they'd go to their house when they needed to make or receive a call. The same thing when the TV came around, they would hang out at that one house that had a TV to watch it for a while. She went from that to having her own smartphone (by her request) and sending text and voice messages to people. I wonder what new things will exist in 50, 60 or even 70 years. Maybe the grandparents of tomorrow will tell their grandchildren about how the internet was back then, which the kids would find so very alien

>>37472089
I'm jealous of geezers that can buy a toy they had as a kid and have it fully functional

when I'm 80 or some shit I find it very unlikely I'll be able to do shit like play bomberman 64 without a damn computer monitor reminding me I'm not at home playing on the carpeted floor in front of a big fat tv without all that pixelated shit flat screens could draw attention to in all ignorance of the graphics to come

>>37470932
Imagine living between the years of 1830-1920 in a city like Vienna or Paris, from turning 18 in 1848 in the time of revolution to seeing the end of the great war and socialist Russia. The modern era feels pretty boring by comparison.

I've met a couple of girls like that on Gaia. Seems to attract weird homeschooled kids.

Imagine that. 1000 years of being a slave to the jew and paying off loans...

Anyone alive right now has a decent shot at living for the rest of time.

If anything like that happens in the Western World in our lifetime, it probably won't be out in the open and most people probably won't even know it happened.
