It may seem unbelievable that we’re already saying hello to the year 2020! Where did the past decade go? If you’ve ever watched older “set in the future” movies, you’ll know that we’ve far surpassed the timeframes of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Back to the Future Part II (Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled to 2015). Even the original Blade Runner’s futuristic world of flying cars and space colonies was set in what is now the past (last month, to be exact)!
Needless to say, some of these cinematic predictions were way off!
What about you? Did you have any of your own predictions for 2020? Believe it or not, it wasn’t just the movies that imagined everyone having robots running their households and living on the moon by 2020.
So as we get ready to greet the new year, we thought it would be fun to take a look at predictions from decades ago on what life would be like “in the future.” These are all pretty wild and we hope you have some fun reading what some people thought 2020 would hold for us.
Until next year, enjoy!
