This one (above) is called, “A Quick Stroll on the Water.”
Can you imagine!?!
These postcards are circa 1900, portraying how they foresaw the year 2000.
These are amazing:
The Moving Pavement
House-Moving by Train
Televised Outside Broadcasting
Personal Flying Machines
Weather Control Machine
Combined Ship and Railway Locomotive
Undersea Tourist Boats
Roofed Cities
Personal Airships
Summer Holidays at the North Pole
Police X-Ray Surveillance Machine
It really makes me think about how we foresee technology. Limited by what we know now, since there’s so much left to be discovered.
What’s your favorite?
