How did our ancestors imagine the 21st Century? Sputnik published a set of postcards issued by French artists in 1899-1910 depicting people’s expectations of the 21 century. Did we meet them?
An automatic barbershop? Looks scary.
Flying firefighters. A good idea. Probably in a decade.
A flying postman. Actually, emails and text messaging save way more resources.
Riding seahorses would be fun, but they aren’t so big.
Hey, we have surpassed this expectation! We have robotic vacuum cleaners!
A remote control harvester. Men have always had a love for hi-tech toys.
The chopper technology is well on the way.
The fastest incubator. Farmers would be delighted to get one.
Fashion industry. Our ancestors would hardly be able to imagine what we have now.
Hey, those people certainly expected a lot from sea animals.
A mechanized orchestra. Fortunately, we still value live performances more.
Bingo! A lot of people live and travel in trailers.
So, information goes directly into the minds of students… We have seen it in "The Matrix".
No, women will never allow machines to take care of their beauty!
A whale-bus. They were really entertainment-savvy.
Unfortunately, this fantasy becomes real sometimes.
A bomber is another part of reality. Though seahorse races would be better.
Air taxis! Well, they are close at hand.
