In the year 2000...

The website/blog, Coudal.com (a great design studio and place to get links) has a link to a blog called Paleo-Future.com. It shows old printed material of what people thought the future would look like - and some of it is amazing. Here is a 1910 collection of French prints that depict the year 2000. Also, here is a circa 1900 collection of German prints that foresee the year 2000. Great stuff!
