Retro future predictions that show how people from the past imagined the future, 1900s-1970s

QuoteHumanity has always tried to predict what the future would look like and this vintage photo collection shows predictions that were either a hit or a miss.

While some people actually managed to predict it rather accurately, many of them look pretty hilarious from today's perspective.

I like things like this, the car satnav made me laugh but then again it's not that far from what we have now.

There was a video we posted of a house of the future made in the 50's I think, that was quality too, if only I could find that and add it here.

Good post Freddy 

The car sat nav was a bit odd. I do remember those 3D viewers from when I was a child, the round inserts with images on them and you looked through a viewer. I guess they were building on that idea. It would have been very limited though!

I see what you did there Carl 

Yes a small Tesla would go down well here, I'm sure they would sell plenty of them.
