[mattdakat]

“2020 will be very eventful”

[anotherrandomperson]

So much of this didn’t happen because of COVID. It’s amazing how much the world can change

Watching 5 years later I'm impressed by two things: 1) This channel succeeded because it started by providing information people really wanted to know, and 2) This channel has drastically improved in quality of presentation over the years.

"In 2020 the summer Olympics will be held in Tokyo"

I wish

[chscelebrity]

This comment section is exactly what I imagined it would be now

1:56 Update: Today, it happened. The Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse right now is public domain, which means you can use the character whatever you want without getting copyrighted by Disney.

0:40 - 2018: New Caledonia voted to remain part of France in 2018, 2020, and 2021, though the 2021 referendum had historically low turnout, barely more than half of the turnout of 2020. Despite this, a referendum on New Caledonia's status in France has been scheduled for 2023. Bougainville's referenda was held, not in 2018 but in 19, returning an overwhelming vote in favor of independence. An agreement between Bougainville and Papua New Guinea was reached would have Bougainville gain independence by 2027. FIFA 2018 was held in Russia and won by France. The JWST was delayed multiple times and was deployed in late 2021.

1:01 - 2019: Britain's exit from the EU was postponed a couple times and Britain eventually left in early 2020. FIFA 2019 was held in France and was won by America.

1:10 - 2020: "Quite eventful." Jidda Tower has been indefinitely delayed due to labor shortages relating to the 2017 purge. The _tallest_ structure remains the Burj Khalifa. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were delayed until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bigelow Aerospace laid off all their employees in 2020 and all projects were indefinitely delayed.

1:33 - 2021: India's maiden human space flight has been delayed to 2024.

1:39 - 2022: As of Oct 2022, the Tiangong space station is still under construction. FIFA 2022 is still scheduled as planned. The 2022 Beijing Olympics went forward as scheduled, and Norway won the most gold and overall medals.

2:00 - 2024: Completion of the Fehmarn Belt fixed link has been delayed to mid-2029.

2:35 - 2025: Britain's phase out of coal has been brought up to 2024.

2:52 - 2026: Most recent date given by Musk has a crewed mission arriving in 2029. Closest thing I can find about a NASA asteroid mission is the Asteroid Redirect _Robotic_ Mission which would have a robot collect a boulder from an asteroid and have astronauts explore that smaller boulder, which was cancelled in 2017. Completion of the Sagrada Familia has been delayed until after 2026.

3:24 - 2027: See 2026 re: SpaceX mission to Mars.

3:58 - 2029: Portion of the rail connecting Bakersfield to Los Angeles has been delayed until 2033.

4:11 - 2030s: Chinese human lunar mission has been given a more specific date of 2030.

4:37 - 2031: Russia doesn't have a more specific date than 2030s.

5:34 - 2042: Current UN population projections put the 9bn mark in 2037. Current US Census projections expect non-Hispanic White Americans to be a minority in 2045. Apparently Elon Musk has been projected to become the first trillionaire in 2024, though I'm not sure if these projections take into account the fall of Tesla stock & his buying of Twitter.

Anything else I didn't comment on either seem to still be correct predictions, or have such incredibly variable projections from different experts that I didn't feel it would be appropriate for me to give a definitive answer.

“The summer olympics will be held in Tokyo” yeah. About that.

[rishumishra]

2000: We will have flying cars by 2020.

2020: Even planes aren't flying anymore.

[doublethomas]

In 2050, I'll be 70 years old, and my oldest child will be the age I am now. I really hope I get to see a human on mars.

[valentin]

I bet there is still gonna be kids saying “Who is here in 2050 ?”

[TheCubeSnowflake]

“2020 will be very eventful”

We are all beating each other up over toilet paper.

[stev]

I would LOVE to have the ability to watch this video once we hit the year 2050 (I'll turn 60 that year!) just to see how much changes. That's actually a wild thought.

[acoder]

“In 2019 the UK will officially leave the EU.”
2019: any day now

[hithere]

Anyone watching this in 2020

"2020 will be quite eventful"

Oh you think
