Mod view of the future

It’s so fascinating to see what people in the past thought the future was going to be like. Here’s a view from the 1960’s on what shopping was going to be like in 1999. Think internet shopping…not too far off. I love how the bill automatically gets sent to the husband.

There’s also a really neat blog called Paleo-Future where you can see futuristic illustrations and prints made in the past. His most recent post has a neat picture of what some french guy in the early 1900’s thought firefighting would be like in the year 2000. Really dig those wings.
