Predictions About Future Technology From 1920

by Chuck Ness

A century has passed since this 1920 film predicted what life would be like over the next century. You must admit that some predictions came true, like the cell phone. Some were downright hilarious. This video shows some of the things those living in the 1920’s hoped would come true, although it seems they were quite ambitious in their planning.

How many have not considered what the future would be like? I lose count of the number of Movies Hollywood made about futuristic life on Earth. I remember me and my friends drawing pictures of futuristic cars in study class, instead of studying. Many things we predicted way back in the past are now reality, or in the works. This video does not cover everything, but it gives you an idea of what men in 1920 thought the future would be like. 

What do you think? Will some of these 1920’s predictions still become reality?  Well I would like to believe things will get better as we invent new products to make our lives better. Unfortunately the wrong people just took control of the United States, and these people are not the one's who care about what is best for everyone.

Every age of the World has had some sort of religious bent to those in control, and today's bent is a One World form of a religion that worships everything but the One True God. Mind you, all false religions have one thing in common, they all defy the True God, and those who Follow Him. The faith of the World we are entering will be an ant-Christian faith that's just a mix all the evil religions from the past. The Scriptures have warned us about this time. Well, call it what ever you desire, but the truth is we are just returning to Babylon. The place where man wanted to create a tower that would reach the heavens and thus be god. Today, every false religion can trace their beliefs back to Babylon.

Men always wonder what the future will be like. Well, here is a what men in 1920 thought it would be like. You will notice that God is no where in their predictions. Yet a century later, one would have to be blind to ignore the prophecies of the Scriptures as to what the future will hold. We are now closer to Christ returning than man realize, and instead of wondering what the future will be like in the World, we should be ready for what the future for us will be like when Christ returns.

No, if anything, we are entering into another era similar to the dark Ages, when the wealthy elites rule as they decide who controls the government. In the last Dark Ages, it was the Catholic Church, the Monarchs and the wealthy landlords who controlled the lives of people. Today as we move into another Dark Age, we can count on the Communist Totalitarians to control our lives. I say Communists, but there truly is no difference between them or the Nazis and Socialist. They are all Totalitarians who will help usher in the day when Christ returns. Be ready brothers and sister, because the times spoken of by the Prophets is quickly becoming our reality today.

The technological advances of man were stagering in the 19th century, yet as great as they were, the advances since the video I am sharing was produced, has been even more phenomenal. What follows is a list of inventions by years since 1920. The inventions in the last 100 years has been mindboggling. Man has invented more things in the last years, than he has in the rest of history. Without a doubt our inventions have turned the World into a virtual paradise compared to what it was like before 1920.

It must be said however, that as great as these inventions are, the last 100 years has also seen man invent more ways to murder and abuse each other, while destroyings things, than at any other span in human history. One day I may make a list of those sad accomplishment.

For now, here is a list by year of inventions. There would not be enough time to list everything, so I chose an imvention for every year. Many were obviously left out.
