the distant future, the year 2000
What's that a picture of? Why it's aerial firefighters with bat wings putting out a blaze in the year 2000 of course. Folks, you need to check out this link. It contains photos by a French illustrator in 1910 and what he felt the year 2000 would hold for society. I find ideas about our future and technology so fascinating as a modern homesteader? How progress meant lack of effort to people then, or versions of that ease. Life was hard, I know this. But sometimes their pipe dreams are laughable. Others are spot on. Which of these made you laugh or tilt your head at the screen? Do you think the future we have now is all 1910 cracked it up to be? (I personally love the flying water bat people, but click here to see more.)P.S. Ten points if you started singing Flight of the Conchords when you saw this post title. Robots!

Actually I think we are a tad behind their vision now.
Haha! This is great. Interestingly, I was singing the Robot song just yesterday.... binary solo!
The visual telegraph (iPhones, skype, video chat) kind of creeped me out. I heard the twilight zone theme song playing in my head.
Ten points for me. :)
HA! i IMMEDIATELY started singing flight of the conchords! those guys are the best!
Okay, how funny would it be to make a movie of what life would have been like if his exact predictions came true? Honestly?!
The distant future, the distant future! Binary Solo: 000000100000011!!!
