The world in 2000 as predicted in 1910The world in 2000 as predicted in 1910

Illustrations by French artist Villemard in 1910 of how he imagined the future to be in the year 2000. A fascinating mixture of accuracy and total misses. I wonder how accurate our predictions of life in 2100 will be.

More total misses I would say. Number 7 looks a bit ominous...

Eh, #7 isn't a change. It's how the worst students and teachers alike have understood education for a few centuries now. It's no more prediction than a calendar.

Isn't number 7 a concise explanation of the internet?

Wow, some of the ideas are actually surprisingly close to stuff we have or stuff that's being worked on, some of these only have cosmetic differences, amazing :)

That was the future back in the 1920's

I see Ryanair started early, no change in service and quality then. (No9) No 10, a prediction of road rage.
