They guessed about a lot of things.
People have always loved to think about his future, to imagine what heights they can achieve, and what kind of world they will live after 20, 50, 100 years. So, in 1900, Hildebrands chocolate factory decided to release a series of postcards, which were sold together with sweets. These postcards depicted the fantasy of people about how the world will look like in the second Millennium. Our ancestors managed to guess not all achieve their descendants, however, some fantasies are really coincide with our current reality.
Moving sidewalks. Apparently, people were hoping to stop to bother to walk. Partly because it happened. This picture shows the idea of the founders of escalators, which are now in almost every major supermarket.
Moving house by train. Part of the idea implemented. So, many architects engaged in the creation of mobile housing.
Walk on water with wooden shoes, bicycles and balloons.
Personal airships. Here they guessed wrong, as progress evolved in a different direction.
Submarines
Airships to the North pole
Police setup with x-rays for surveillance. Such devices exist. However, they did not pledge “the world order”.
A hybrid of ship and locomotive. A kind of “amphibian” also exist.
The city under a canopy to protect from rain.
Machine control the weather
Flying in the sky. Already in 1903 came the first hang-gliders and paragliders.
Stream of the performance at a distance – this is our present reality.
