來自“復古未來”的預測要么成功，要么失敗

來自“復古未來”的預測要么成功，要么失敗

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.

一個世紀又短又無限長，想想都很瘋狂。你看，摩托羅拉的DynaTAC是1984年推出的第一款手機，售價為3995美元。今天，沒有人能想象沒有集成了徠卡相機和人工智能人臉識別系統(tǒng)的觸摸屏手機的生活，這些手機的價格比摩托羅拉的初始價格低得多。

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.

所以，想象一下，當時的人們對科技進步的看法是多么不同，這些科技看起來既不可思議，又能改變生活。它們確實如此。但是，技術和我們生活的世界發(fā)展得如此之快，以至于它已經(jīng)超過了我們對未來的最佳預測。

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.

這一次，我們來看看上個世紀創(chuàng)造的復古未來主義的例子，讓我們一瞥人類頭腦中怪異而美妙的夢想。
