Here’s something I think you’ll find quite interesting… These crazy images were created by French artist Jean-Marc Cote, and a few others back in 1899, 1900, 1901, and 1910.

The point being.. Well, basically they were asked to imagine what life would be like in the year 2000. According to Collective-Evolution, these artworks were originally in the form of postcards or paper cards enclosed in cigarette and cigar boxes

Interesting view of what people in 1900 of what life would be today, also gives a person a respid from 24/7 corona.

Jet packs?

Flying cars have been promised for a long time.

Another good peek into the future from 1910 was discussed yesterday in “IN 1910, JACK LONDON SAW COVID COMING.”

In The Scarlet Plague, the California Author Imagined a 21st-Century Epidemic Hitting the Bay Area and the World.

The one with the kids being electronically educated is creepy looking. Maybe that’s just language lab.

And in the early 1930's we had this which is no different from today:

Interesting, but they totally missed Skeet Surfing.

How about pictures predicting a hundred years from now.

These two are pretty accurate:

Looks like they thought going underwater would be a big tourism thing. The one called “An Explorer” is really something. If that got published today all hell breaks loose.
Back then not even a shrug.

Some of those are a laff riot.

Others are scary accurate.

They’ll be Spandex jackets, one for everyone.

If you told people back on Sept.12th 2001 that democrats would elect a guy named B.Hussein Obama as President they would have thrown you in the loony bin.

Very interesting. Nobody envisioned television though... “facetime” on phones though yes.

What’s with the under water obsession?

I like the book grinder that drops knowledge into students brains and the robotic clothier. Cool.

I hope that promise stays broken. People have a hard enough time with them on the ground (in designated lanes!) without adding “flying” into the mix!

[Olog-hai]

Yes, even if the smartphones are a bit oversized . . . squint a bit and they look like those old Walkmans that people used to carry.
