令人難以置信的過去的技術(shù)，如今看起來很奇怪

Twenty years ago, you would have been the coolest kid on the block for carrying a Nokia 3310. But time flies and technological innovation accelerates along with it. Today, we live in a world ruled by touch screens, face recognition, and machine learning, so imagine what the technology was like a century ago, or two.

20年前，如果你帶著諾基亞3310手機(jī)，你會(huì)成為街區(qū)里最酷的孩子。但時(shí)光飛逝，技術(shù)創(chuàng)新也在加速。今天，我們生活在一個(gè)由觸摸屏、人臉識(shí)別和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)統(tǒng)治的世界，所以想象一下一個(gè)或兩個(gè)世紀(jì)前的技術(shù)是什么樣的。

In order to find out, we’re taking you on a historical roller coaster to see what ancient technologies defined the future a hundred years ago. From motorized roller-skate salesmen in 1961, aka the proud ancestors of today’s hoverboards, to giant mechanical tricycles from 1896 and orgone accumulators of the '50s, these are some of the most interesting retro-historical devices.

為了找到答案，我們帶你坐上歷史過山車，看看一百年前古老的科技是如何定義未來的。從1961年的電動(dòng)輪滑銷售員，也就是今天的懸浮滑板的祖先，到1896年的巨型機(jī)械三輪車和50年代的orgone累加器，這些都是最有趣的復(fù)古設(shè)備。

Some were truly incredible, others look kinda cool, and the rest… make you think "what on earth were they thinking?"

有些真的很不可思議，有些看起來很酷，剩下的……讓你想“他們到底在想什么?”
