100 years ago, this is how people imagined the future

The future always arouses curiosity in people. It is unlikely that anyone would not want to know what awaits humanity in a few decades or hundreds of years. Thus, our ancestors tried to imagine what the world of the future would be like, more precisely at the time we are currently living.

Did they come close to reality? Keep reading this post and check it out!

1. In 1900, a German chocolate factory produced cards with “predictions” about what the world would be like in the year 2000. According to the material, people would have no trouble walking on water

2. People would have individual wings

3. These would be means of public transport. The curious thing is to realize that it is as if fashion had stopped in time, passing 100 years without changing anything.

4. Buildings could be moved from one side to another

5. A hybrid between boat and train. We haven’t progressed to that point yet.

6. An event taking place in one place and being followed in another. Huuum, looks familiar. Bingo! They predicted the Internet 🙂

7. Roofs over the city would not prevent people from continuing their activities even in bad weather. It would be very comfortable, but this is still unfeasible and the floods are there to prove it.

8. Mobile sidewalks for pedestrians? No not yet

9. A machine to disperse clouds and always ensure good weather. Neither….

10. At the beginning of the 20th century, French artist Jen-Marc Cote and other artists set out to portray their country 100 years from now. They thought there would be flying firefighters

11. Here, people in the year 2000 are shown leaving the theater after an opera performance. There are few similarities with reality: we still don’t use flying cars and opera doesn’t bring crowds to the theater

12. It is obvious that today’s world is automated. But hairdressers still do everything by hand

13. Looks like here they got a glimpse of what Skype and other instant messaging apps would be like

14. Robot orchestra? None of that, our music still comes from the human soul

15. Visionaries believed that knowledge could be “downloaded” into the brain without difficulty. Of course, today we have the Internet, but the absorption of knowledge does not happen that way, although there is advanced research in this direction.

16. Due to life in big cities, many children have never seen a live horse. It’s sad to admit, but it looks like the artists were right in this case.

17. The French caricaturist Albert Robida was also interested in the future and translated it into illustrations. This man, for example, appears to be listening to music through headphones.

18. It seems that this artist thought that books could be heard in libraries. Well, today we have the audiobooks, but we don’t have to go to the library.

19. According to the illustrator, fashion would be like this in 1952

Bonus

In 1914, the Russian candy factory “Einem” published cards with what would be Moscow between the years 2114 and 2259. From their vision, this is how our world will be in a few centuries

20.

The sentence written on the back of the card was as follows: “A beautiful, clear winter in 2259. In a corner of old Moscow, the ancient restaurant ‘Yar’ remains in the same place for the great enjoyment of Muscovites as it was 300 years ago. For comfort and gentleness of motion, the st petersburg freeway has completely turned into a mirror of crystalline iceby which the air sleds fly gliding elegantly. Here, in these aeromachines, go the traditional street vendors and bakers with hot buns🇧🇷 Even in the 23rd century, Moscow remains true to its customs.”

“Winter is the same as 200 years ago. The snow is white and icy. The central station for land and air communications. Dozens of people arrive and leave, all quickly, in a planned and comfortable way. earth and air are to serve the passengers. Those who wish can travel on the telegram speed🇧🇷

22.

“Lubianca Square. The blue sky is drawn by the precise lines of illuminated planes, zeppelins and air road wagons🇧🇷 Under the area of ​​the bridges fly the long wagons of the Moscow metrowhich was talked about in 1914. On the bridge over the subway, we see a fine squadron of valiant Russian troops, which has maintained its form since our times…”
