Retro-futuristic postcards from 1900 May 1, 2007

Posted by Al in : art,cool,future , trackback

This series of postcards shows what people were expecting the year 2000 to be like. I guess humans just don’t like conforming to stereotypes, and so we have not developed any of these technologies, apart from television, yet.  Still, it’s nice to see the faith the Victorian era had in the advancement of the future. If only we had the same faith today.
