Futurists predicted that the tech of today would surround us with flying cars, robot maids, and teleportation. While some of these predictions are still sci-fi, others like mobile video calls, virtual reality, and even A.I. and quantum computers are quickly becoming a part of daily life. In season two, Brownlee will unravel these retro tech promises to see just how close we've come in 2021 and the direction revolutionary tech is headed next.
Retro Tech Week launches tomorrow, April 13th. Episode one - which explores the technology of Flying Cars - will be available to stream for free on Marques Brownlee's YouTube Channel, in addition to a bonus episode on Wearables exclusively available to YouTube Premium subscribers. New episodes will drop daily as part of a week-long channel takeover.

Marques takes a look at wearable tech and how it's developed over the years with a special appearance by comedian Wyatt Cenac.
