REWIND: GenX Future Predictions
Manage episode 439509994 series 1531938
When Generation X dreamed about the future, we pictured either a technological paradise with flying cars, helpful robots, no illness and rocket ships or we pictured a wasteland brought on by some human action. Neither came true (luckily in the latter), but we’re still a ways off from where we thought we would be by now. In this Backtrack we look at what we thought the future would hold and discuss some of the things we thought we would have and don’t, and what we have that we never would have predicted.
