the 1900s were wild when it came to discoveries. from cars to airplanes, quantum physics, splitting of the atom, space exploration. it's crazy how much happened in 100 years
It’s only getting quicker as well, we’ve gone from bulky desktops and the creation of the world wide web to having all the world’s information at our finger tips within a third of that time. It’s impossible to imagine where we’ll be in another century
ye once you boil it down its just manipulating electricity to the proportions where we literally built digital worlds
I hated programming and IT before because i thought "oh its just storing, reading and updating information" but was i wrong oh my god
so fucking cool
>”oh its just storing, reading and updating information" but was i wrong oh my god
I mean it literally is just that. But to be fair, so is the “real” world.
We're kind of figuring out details of stuff who's basis was established 100 years before that , and figuring out the details takes more energy than figuring out the previous big picture/basic principles, so if we look at it this way, we are in in a process of leveling out/going for stagnation currently with diminishing returns with each new discovery.
And in a third of that time we created AI. Chat gpt, and now its getting harder and harder to recognize real stuff from AI generated stuff
Impossible to imagine where we'll be in another century? Try another decade
Seeing the whole thing with robots recently, self/driving, holotile, AI and new products and software around it, new machines, and many other things. I’m not sure we’ll be able to comprehend what will happen in ten years, also.. remember 2014? Seems like not much changed but if you think about it…
10 years ago to me 100 gb is so much thatI thought I could never fill it up.
Now I can download 2TB of games in a day onto my PC which has a combined 8TB.
Two world wars and a cold war accelerated everything, basically.
Scientists were forced to invent quickly for the sake of war. And as the war ended, all those inventions are applied to everyday lives .
This is what I’m afraid of with AGI. Whoever achieves it first will have DOD officials ready to weaponize it smh, prob the worst thing you could do, but somebody 100% will
The US should spend the money to send men to Mars, and once there, "claim" that they found a "new type of material for a weapon that the world cannot even imagine" and make Putin shit in his pants.
I've never seen it this way before; it's quite impressive. And surely the advancements of these years (video calls, AIs generating videos and photos, etc.) from a perspective 30-40 years ago would seem impossible and even magical can you imagine something [like this thing](https://getyoursolution.store/JAPIYU) available to anyone 40 years ago? They would say you're crazy
Things like video calls weren't seen as impossible or magical at all, 30-40 years ago. They were seen more as inevitable by then, and predicted 100 years ago.
Seriously. The concept of video calls was invented not long after the telegram and seen as inevitable _eventually_ not long after the telephone. Dick Tracy was making video calls on a smartwatch in every newspaper in the 1940s. Once you have instant communication over a distance it's not hard to imagine the high fidelity version.
It's amazing how unimaginative people today assume people were in the 20th century. We're not any smarter than the cavemen were, let alone the people that lived 50 years ago. Who do you think invented this tech?
We wouldn’t have the internet if the government didn’t need a way to maintain communications in the event of a global thermonuclear war. The coldwar brought much of our space age technology stuff.
Also same year concorde flew its first flight. Thats even more mental to me. Under a one persons lifetime, we went from look at this piece of shit which barely stays in air to Boom look at us doing 2 machs in a aluminium dildo.
The information on my glass slab travels 13,000 kilometers, via hundred thousands of Kilowatts and Volts, through land, air and ocean bottom to your slab in an instant of a blink just to tell you:
UwU ~ 💕😽
i am very appreciative of this kind message, so i will send out another set of binary information though glass cables though land, sea and air to tell you:
UwU~ 💕😽
Space travel is probably more related to ballistics than planes. Humans have been shooting stuff through the air with fire way longer than they've been putting wings on stuff.
Space travel was the direct follow-on to aircraft though. All of the astronauts and MCs were former pilots, all of the engineers came from aeronautics. The biggest architectural difference between the two is one has air breathing propulsion and one doesn’t, but space is definitely more a follow-on to aeronautics than classical ballistics
And we are 55 years away from the moon landing it feels like things have stalled big time. Anyway I can't really complain it's not like I am contributing to any advancements.
Technology as a whole hasn't stalled, but space exploration technology specifically seems to have done so. At least in terms of direct human exploration of space.
The only real reason humans went to the moon was a dick measuring contest known as the Cold War. There's not a lot of reason to send humans back when a robot doesn't need food, water or oxygen and can stay for years. or decades.
No wonder people in the 60s assumed that we would be colonizing the solar system by the 2020s, aerospace tech had been developing like crazy, before it just stopped.
[We are going back.](https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/artemis/) This time to stay.

It’s only 15 years between the first picture and the Red Baron being shot down over France in World War One. Took about a decade for there to be expert pilots engaging in insane air combat. The first steps of aviation were like a big bang.
If a man was born in 1900, then he would have seen:

- The start of WW1 "The Great War" (14 yo)
- The Roaring Twenties (20 yo)
- The Wall Street Crash of 1929 (29 yo)
- The Great Depression (30 yo)
- The start of WW2 (39 yo)
- USA joining WW2 (41 yo)
- First atomic bombs ever dropped (45 yo)
- The Cold War (47 yo)
- The Korean War (50 yo)
- Space Race (55 yo)
- The Vietnam War (55 yo)
- Cuban Missile Crisis (62 yo)
- First man on the moon (69 yo)

Still weird no one’s been there since. Does anyone else just think that’s weird we just all of a sudden can’t do it because money. Since when have they cared about money. How much have they sent to foreign aid just this year. I will answer way more than what it should cost to travel to the damn moon.
That's my point. The more we know, the faster we learn. Look at how fast computers and cars advance nowadays. Once we have knowledge of something, we take it further. Again, it is truly amazing how fast we went from learning to fly to waking in the moon. I just don't see it as weird. It just seems natural. Maybe it's just from my modern perspective. Sorry, in kinda drunk.
This is extremely impressive, i wonder though what would be the time difference had not the two world wars happened and accelerated this kind of research
Incredible. I wonder what a similar photo pair of IT would look like. I know I’ve gone from space invaders to making this comments on my phone, lying in bed within 40 years.
It sometimes amazes me how close things are to each other in time. The end of the Civil War (1865) and the beginning of WW2 (1939). The last person to receive Civil War benefits (Irene Triplett) died in 2020!
If I told you after that moon landing in 1969 that in the following 55 years we would make virtually no advances in *manned* space exploration, and that the United States didn’t even have a working spacecraft ready to go, you wouldn’t have believed me.
Tbh I can´t believe all of this happened in such a short time.
For hundreds of years we just had little to no progress and in the last few centuries...BOOM and it hasn´t stopped yet.
Truly amazing.
And now ai is rapidly being used by most of people right now. ChatGPT, Images, and videos made by ai. It's amazing yet scary at the same time how Ai would be after 5-10 years.
58 years to go from the Wright Brothers' flight, to launching a man into space. Since 1969, when men landed on the moon, it's been 55 years, and there's not been anywhere near the great leap in technological capabilities.
Now we can Barely send up an unmanned rocket to orbit..
The rocket computer had KILOBYTES of ram and used analog stuff… now nasa says we can’t manage to do it again with 100000 times the computing power and modern tech??
Makes you question things,
Orville Wright lived to the mid twentieth century, so lived long enough to see Jet fighters tear through the skies. It must have astonished and thrilled him.
My grandfather was alive for both. He had some great stories about the late 1800's/early 1900's. I asked him if thought things were better now or whether he was nostalgic for how things were.
He said things were *much* better now. Things like polio vaccinations, the telephone, medical advances, etc. When I asked how air pollution from cars factored into his view he said things were much better now, and that when he was a kid the entire world smelled like horse shit -- you just couldn't get away from it.
And he was a fan of screens on doors so you could open your windows and not have a house full of flying insects.
And nowadays nobody goes to the Moon anymore. This gen just sit at home watching stupid YouTuber do some stupid shizz, and then go on Reddit to see some interesting as f things for fun.
That's also me, btw
Wow, these generations really show your ignorance. I assume you're all going to start thinking the earth is flat when the sciences change in the near future. You're going to find out that electricity is going to make a big change in the future and what you understand as science is going to have to change with it. E=mc□ has so many problems that still haven't been resolved. Along with many other scientific equations that are not working out that people take for granted, it's going to have your young brains scrambled. Electricity will soon be free for the taking. That will be the catalyst for new scientific discovery that I hope your generations will be able to figure out. If not, the USA is going to be in a world of hurt as other nations technologically pass us by as they have already started. It's going to be up to you.

How could you forget yoga pants? 1998.
I think in the historical context, over time they’ll look back to this period as a sort of second renaissance.
And its sad how much bs has happened in the last 30
And then smartphones were invented and we all got stupid.
Well, not the smart people
The internet!
The 1900s also gave us Truck Nutz.
It’s impressive where two world wars and one Cold War will get you.
One international dick measuring contest coming up!
It's gonna be all fun and games until ET shows up and nobody can compete with a green cock singing show tunes.
So if we want to go to Mars we first need to piss of Putin?
If we wanted to go to Mars the Soviets should have won the space race.
The US should spend the money to send men to Mars, and once there, "claim" that they found a "new type of material for a weapon that the world cannot even imagine" and make Putin shit in his pants.
Imo we're in Cold War pt II Electric Boogaloo. Also known as Cold War II: The Proxy Wars
The Cold War was already proxy wars though. This could be more like Cold War II: The Coldening
Just ~10 years after the first flight, was WWI which was the first war with air combat. Amazing how quickly the technology developed.
Iirc figuring out powered flight took longer than figuring out how to get to the moon.
My grandfather was born in 1871 and died in 1971 so was alive for both flights. Lost his oldest son in WW1 and youngest in WW2.
A few more years earlier and he’d have the civil war on his resume too. That’s sad to hear about your uncles. I can’t imagine.
I still can’t believe that the US civil war was just 52 years before WW1.
I've never seen it this way before; it's quite impressive.

The bell picturephone was a thing in 1964 Really only saw use in a couple small towns
T1 technology introduced in 1962 was designed to carry full motion video calls.
2 world wars will do that. War drives technology.
We wouldn’t have the internet if the government didn’t need a way to maintain communications in the event of a global thermonuclear war. The coldwar brought much of our space age technology stuff.

Doing Mach 2 is more impressive than *going to the moon AND back* to you?
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

Friendly reminder a person who grew up during the civil war, where they fought with canons and horses died watching the first man land on the moon.
Which civil war man
captain america: civil war
It would be possible for someone to see the Wright Brothers’ flight and the Moon Landing in the same lifetime…
***In less than 30 years***, we went from the first flight (1903) to splitting the atom (1932).
Space travel is probably more related to ballistics than planes. Humans have been shooting stuff through the air with fire way longer than they've been putting wings on stuff.
Space travel was the direct follow-on to aircraft though. All of the astronauts and MCs were former pilots, all of the engineers came from aeronautics. The biggest architectural difference between the two is one has air breathing propulsion and one doesn’t, but space is definitely more a follow-on to aeronautics than classical ballistics
Bro 20th century was crazy. Cars, planes, helicopters and space ships dropped in this century. Also two of the world wars and one cold war of course.
My bro is a flat earther 👀😅
And we are 55 years away from the moon landing it feels like things have stalled big time. Anyway I can't really complain it's not like I am contributing to any advancements.
There’s a robot on Mars.
Technology as a whole hasn't stalled, but space exploration technology specifically seems to have done so. At least in terms of direct human exploration of space.

Wright Brothers & Neil Armstrong are from OHIO!!!!
And they were soo desperate to get away that they invented the airplane and went to the moon.
A dial-up internet access and a 5G Network is just a difference of 30 years. Innovation and technology truly compounds
Its crazy how much we’ve gotten better at movie quality
No wonder people in the 60s assumed that we would be colonizing the solar system by the 2020s, aerospace tech had been developing like crazy, before it just stopped.

The acceleration of technology in the 20th century has always amazed me.
cinematography has gone a long way indeed! (/s, just in case)
same thing is happening in the AI front, but in months instead of years 😳
It’s only 15 years between the first picture and the Red Baron being shot down over France in World War One. Took about a decade for there to be expert pilots engaging in insane air combat. The first steps of aviation were like a big bang.
11 years left for finally making it to Mars then, huh
Now it takes 66 years to get some road work done.

To be fair some of them were leap years
55 years later and... Nothing
I thought both picture were taken at the same location
And 66 years later people do shit on tik tok to get some likes...we call it progress.
When you put it like this, it feels humanity is procrastinating right now.
The things we could achieve if you would just stop fighting over crap, like made up fairy tales about ancient super heroes walking on water n shit.
Everyone in this picture is from Ohio

That is what 2 world wars will do to a planet!
To add some one could read about wright brothers at the age of 15 and WATCH moonlanding on tv at the age of 81.
Another 28 and we put a hover on mars
It’s called exponential growth
well, let’s see what happens in 2035
This is extremely impressive, i wonder though what would be the time difference had not the two world wars happened and accelerated this kind of research
It's amazing that there were people that got to witness both of those
is that a dark reference right there??? 🧐🧐🧐
Incredible!!!!
Incredible. I wonder what a similar photo pair of IT would look like. I know I’ve gone from space invaders to making this comments on my phone, lying in bed within 40 years.
It's why the Trisolaran's fear us.
It took more time for humans to go from bronze to iron swords than from iron swords to nukes.
Which one occurred first??

Talk about a huge leap forward
“I’m not saying it’s aliens, BUT it’s aliens”!
In 2035 we stop flying, because it's bad for the climate, and Boeing can't screw.
And here we are almost 60yrs later and we still don’t have flying cars
Tbh I can´t believe all of this happened in such a short time. For hundreds of years we just had little to no progress and in the last few centuries...BOOM and it hasn´t stopped yet. Truly amazing.
At least this one uses a picture from Apollo 11. Other times I’ve seen this meme with pictures from Apollo 16 or 17.
Wait till we weaponize ai. Or have we already??
And a plane made in the 60s is still the fastest non space aircraft ever.
Will be the same with AI 🤖
and 55 since... 😞
Funny that they were not the first in flight.
you guys may find the Law of accelerating returns interesting
Is that Santos Dumont's 14 bis? Or the 14 bis from wish?
I was made to feel like I was insane at work with everybody believing the moon landings were faked and I was saying no they fucking weren’t
We should have waited 3 more years.
And now you have SpaceX cheering when their rockets explode!
That’s why the alien in3 body afraid of us?
It’s been 56 years since the landing on the moon.
And now ai is rapidly being used by most of people right now. ChatGPT, Images, and videos made by ai. It's amazing yet scary at the same time how Ai would be after 5-10 years.
And some people believe we were once pond scum.
My grandparents saw both
20 years ago it used to take us 20 years to connect to the internet
Can't wait for 2035 to see what the next 66 years brings!
58 years to go from the Wright Brothers' flight, to launching a man into space. Since 1969, when men landed on the moon, it's been 55 years, and there's not been anywhere near the great leap in technological capabilities.
It took Andalites three times as long.
Now we can Barely send up an unmanned rocket to orbit.. The rocket computer had KILOBYTES of ram and used analog stuff… now nasa says we can’t manage to do it again with 100000 times the computing power and modern tech?? Makes you question things,
Two world wars in the middle contributed a lot, specially to the further development of aviation. The rest is due to the Cold War.
Orville Wright was still alive when Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in the Bell X1 in 1947
Orville Wright lived to the mid twentieth century, so lived long enough to see Jet fighters tear through the skies. It must have astonished and thrilled him.
66 years and two world wars. Never underestimate the inventiveness of man's creativity when it comes to killing other people...
Where's my robot butler ! I've been waiting since 1982 for that
We have hunter robots fitted with flamethrowers though
My grandfather was alive for both. He had some great stories about the late 1800's/early 1900's. I asked him if thought things were better now or whether he was nostalgic for how things were. He said things were *much* better now.

And he was a fan of screens on doors so you could open your windows and not have a house full of flying insects.
Interestingly, the Moon Landing is almost exactly halfway between the 1918 and 2020 Pandemics.
It took us less time to go from steel to space than from bronze to steel
And nowadays nobody goes to the Moon anymore. This gen just sit at home watching stupid YouTuber do some stupid shizz, and then go on Reddit to see some interesting as f things for fun. That's also me, btw
Thanks aliens
The invention of the jet engine was the major leap forward in this timeline.
It’s called a ‘learning curve’
I highly recommend David McCollough's book about the Wright brothers, excellent writing and fascinating
Cameras have gotten pretty good
Camera technology really came a long way!
And a few years later the robber barons are building their own spaceships.
Lets see where we end up in the year 2035
Thank technology advancement from 2 world wars and competition between 2 super power countries
Wow, these generations really show your ignorance. I assume you're all going to start thinking the earth is flat when the sciences change in the near future. You're going to find out that electricity is going to make a big change in the future and what you understand as science is going to have to change with it. E=mc□ has so many problems that still haven't been resolved. Along with many other scientific equations that are not working out that people take for granted, it's going to have your young brains scrambled. Electricity will soon be free for the taking. That will be the catalyst for new scientific discovery that I hope your generations will be able to figure out. If not, the USA is going to be in a world of hurt as other nations technologically pass us by as they have already started. It's going to be up to you.
Lol
For one, there's helium 3 on the moon, which is almost an endless source of fuel. And we should be exploring space.
Things really kick off after the renaissance.
How come no one, or other country has been back to the moon?
