Ridley Scott’s beloved sci-fi movie, loosely based on a Philip K. Dick novel, tried to predict what life would be like on Earth in 2019. It presented a dystopian, industrial version of Los Angeles with dreary weather, humanlike robots and people living in outer space colonies.
Replicants- nope
Flying cars- Nope
Weather is miserable- Not there yet but Global Warming...
Companies like Pan Am and RCA would still be around- Sort of.
RIP Pan Am and Atari but Coca-Cola, Cuisinart, Budweiser and Tsingtao are still here.
We’d talk to our computers- Alexa says yep
go into phone booths to make video calls- video calls yep but not in phone booths.
smoke like chimneys at our workplaces- nope. indoor smoking is banned almost everywhere
