來(lái)自“復(fù)古未來(lái)”的預(yù)測(cè)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(gè)世紀(jì)又短又無(wú)限長(zhǎng)，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(jī)，售價(jià)為3995美元。今天，沒(méi)有人能想象沒(méi)有集成了徠卡相機(jī)和人工智能人臉識(shí)別系統(tǒng)的觸摸屏手機(jī)的生活，這些手機(jī)的價(jià)格比摩托羅拉的初始價(jià)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(dāng)時(shí)的人們對(duì)科技進(jìn)步的看法是多么不同，這些科技看起來(lái)既不可思議，又能改變生活。它們確實(shí)如此。但是，技術(shù)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(guò)了我們對(duì)未來(lái)的最佳預(yù)測(cè)。

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(lái)看看上個(gè)世紀(jì)創(chuàng)造的復(fù)古未來(lái)主義的例子，讓我們一瞥人類頭腦中怪異而美妙的夢(mèng)想。
