Do you guys even realize what a time it is to be alive in 2016? Compared to people just around the 1900's or 1800's we're so far ahead technologically we might appear ayy lmaos to them, to people in earlier centuries we might as well be Gods.
Here's a not at all complete list of what had changed since those times:
>people have been to outer space, humans had literally walked on the fucking Moon
>people can fly, and do so regularly. Visiting another continent is just a couple of hours away
>we're able to cure or control most diseases short of cancer and a few heredetary diseases (soon to be fixed)
>we can communicate with people on the other side of the globe - instantly. We can do so in more than one way.
>we're more cunning, know a lot more, and socially are more developed
>people are able to record immense amount of data on devices the size of a fingernail
>our weapons are capable of wiping out entire civilizations
>we're capable of manipulating DNA and create life for specific purposes - the only limitation is ethical considerations. Bioluminescent trees as street lighting? Just say no more family.
>advanced robotics, automation
>true AI's are to be born in the next decade or so
Why don't you appreciate what we have /int/?
>amazing time to be alive
>I still dont have a gf
>>57288671
>Why don't you appreciate what we have /int/?
Because some pig farmer in Poland 400 years ago had a qt farmer gf and I don't
>tfw still waiting for my 2D waifu to be born
>>57288744
Your ancestors had to marry people from their village or the next town.
You on the other hand have the entire world at your fringertips, able to choose from literally millions of women. You just have to man up and work for it. You can do it.
>>57288991
>no gf is still no gf no matter what century you live in
>>57289128
I just want to reach through this monitor and smack you in the head. I don't know how else to solve your crippling anxiety.
>>57288671
>tfw I will never live in the simple and romantic 18th and 19th centuries
>tfw I'll never be a Conquistador or a space traveler
>>57289717
>I'll never be a rich colonist settler with a large homestead
>I'll never sail with Commodore Matthew Perry to open up Japan so I can get a qt asian gf
>>57288671
>tfw even in worst conditions my ancestors kept the family name going and now i have the whole world to spread my seed but even in that way the Medina name dies with me
>>57289875
back to Saudi Arabia
Might I add the following:
>we possess an item in your pockets which is able to access basically the entire humanity's knowledge
>>57290043
>American Education
Medina is a name related to land, moors named cities Medina of (Insert geographic accident) in the reconquista knights were payed in land and they took the name from their fief

good catch. Also:
>being able to carry and access a library's worth of books with a simple e-reader
>>57288671
I appreciate all of this, but it also makes me realize we will be able to do even more incredible things in the future, a future I won't live to see
>>57290763
D-Does it come with a girlfriend?
>>57290868
>Reading
>Having a gf
Pick one
>>57290863
Well, if you're under the age of 30, you might live to see the invention of immortality. Basically we just have to figure out a way to keep DNA from deteoriating with time. We also know worms, and sea polyps that are essentially immortal.
Give it time Pierre. You may yet see the wonders of the future.
>People who lived in the early 1900s assumed that we would have flying automobiles by the year 2016 A.D.
>Still no flying cars.
>Still no virtual reality (I'm talking about actually VR like Neuromancer or GiTS not this goggles shit).
>Still no bionic limbs like Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
>We still haven't even established a colony on Mars.
>It still feels like I'm living in 2010 and by 2020 it'll feel like I'm living in 2015.
Yeah, OP, living in the "future" is great.
>>57291050
>>People who lived in the early 1900s assumed that we would have flying automobiles by the year 2016 A.D.
No they didn't. Not even Jules Verne did imagine in his wildest dreams that flying cars one day would be a possibility. Also there are already flying cars. It just crashed in Slovakia last year lol :^)

All of those are feasible now though, which is a huge step on it's own. Back then it was magic for a far flung future generation, now we have people funding and working on developing everything on that list.
>>57291397
>Can't even run.
>Difficulty climbing stairs.
>Loud af.
>Still need assistance walking around.
>"flying car"
Absolute shit.
Seriously. When I was a kid I thought that I would be able to plug in a wire in my brain and browse the internet by now. I can't. The future is shit. Slow af. You are too optimistic about it all. We won't see immortality within our lifestime. We won't see a city like the one in Blade Runner within our lifetime. I'll be old af by the time I see a legit flying car. And it'll STILL feel like I'll be living in 2025 despite living in, what, 2037 or something. These motherfuckers need to hurry up with this shit.
>>57291979
So stop whining like an entitled child an do something about it. Become an engineer or mechanic and help them. Or is that too much to ask for?
>>57292105
Yeah Anon, let me just become an engineer. Let me just stop majoring in Criminal Justice and become an engineer because I'm sure that a single individual helping out will make all of these inventions ship out quicker. Let me stop what I'm doing in my life and become an engineer. Pls.
>>57288671
>tfw no tali gf
>>57292388
>implying people don't switch majors all the time
Anon...pls. Criminal justice is so overrated anyway. Why would you want to become a tool of state oppression when you could be an inventor too?
Also pretty crime is fun.
>>57292825
petty crime*
>>57292825
Because I live in Detroit..and I just don't have the mind for engineering, m8. Inventing shit just isn't for me.
>>57293104
>Because I live in Detroit
*lick lips nervously* Are you certain you wish to become a cop in that environment? It's like painting a target on your back.
>>57288671
I don't know, I still look out my window and see the same boring brown shithole so I don't care.
Make this thread again when all the buildings are like pic related and people are riding hoverboards everywhere.
>>57293104
nigger?
>>57288671
This is literally the worst time to be alive. Happiness is at an all time low due to wageslavery and constant bombardment of how great other peoples lives are compared to ours, and we JUST missed out on living as immortals in a permanent matrix like VR world with robots as our slaves.
>>57288671
>Bioluminescent trees as street lighting?
i want this in my yard
>>57293358
Because I wanna feel like I'm doing something good for the community. It's a lot better then getting involved in the petty shit the niggas from back in the day are doing. Either way I'm not gonna stay here for the rest of my life.
>>57293779

>>57288671
Feels like early 2000 except
-CCTV cams everywhere
-TV's and monitors are thinner
-smartphone zombies
-people are fatter and isolated
>>57294167
You should be glad we even let you float over on your tire raft with your societally worthless family island nigger.
>contributes nothing
>plans to become prison guard to lord over his own kind
>has the gall to complain about technology not moving fast enough for him
>when asked why he doesn't contribute says he's too retarded to handle white people technology and would prefer to send tyrone and jamal to niggerland adult daycare camp 24/7
Great work bub
>>57294498
I came here on a plane, m8. And I never said I wanted to become a prison guard at all so nice putting words in my mouth. Still mad Carlos took your girl? KEK!
>>57294167
>Because I wanna feel like I'm doing something good for the community.
That is an honorable goal.
>Either way I'm not gonna stay here for the rest of my life.
Probably for the best anon.
>>57294498
/pol/ pls go.

Looks like shit mate.

>No matter what you say I still must shitpost.
Nice reply.
>>57294746
You have to go back
>>57294833
I can't. Trust me, I would like to but I can't.

This
The biggest advancements are in computers, everything else is still shitty
>2016
>graphene still can't be mass produced
>cancer is still unbeatable
>Alzheimer's is still a thing
>there still hasn't been a man on Mars(people from 1969 would have expected a colony by now)
>third world is still shit
>wageslavery is still a thing
>have all the worlds knowledge at our fingertips yet people are too distracted to use it so we're still barely more advanced than the late 1900s
>"VR" is just a screen strapped to your face
>depression is still a thing
>poverty is still a thing
>aging hasn't been cured
But at least we can share epik menes :^)
Nah this world is still shit
>>57296057
For you you inbred mongrel
>>57288671
progress is actually slow thanks to demand of retarded people, humanity is focusing more on meaningless supplies.
>>57291050
flying cars would actually be useless and would create shittons of problems. it's mixture of humans' passion to fly and love of cars.
>Born too late to explore the world
>Born too early to explore the galaxy
>Born just in time to see Islam dominate Europe
I still think it's incredible we can all post and talk and shit and be from totally opposite side of the planet with totally different lives.
>>57288671
>tfw no quarian gf
I get the feeling when non-autonomous cars are outlawed or overregulated to the point nobody uses them retards like this >>57298563 in the future will say regular cars are useless and create shit tons of problems.
>>57298809
shit tier argument. ppl should stop this annoying flying car obsession its literally useless
>>57288671
Nah, this future is boring.
>>57298918
I wasn't making an argument, I was stating a belief you dumb arab.
>people can fly, and do so regularly. Visiting another continent is just a couple of hours away
more like 14+ hours
>we're more cunning, know a lot more, and socially are more developed
This is socializing according to millennials
