It’s why a lot of sci-fi written in the 1900’s takes place in like the 90’s and 2000’s. Writers thought that we would keep on exponentially advancing and have Mars colonies and flying cars by now. They could have never predicted that interest in space exploration would have waned, like people stopped caring about the space shuttle, and that the actual technological revolution took place in the computing space.

It's weird reading work by authors like Asimov, where people travel between planets as a matter of routine, and we have sentient robots, but not mobile phones.

but then on the flipside there's stuff like star trek, which since it's literally the inspiration for cellphones is remarkably normal

even the fucking tricorders aren't that far off these days, just today i used an app on my phone to identify plants automatically for fuck's sake, that's insane!
