Visions of the Future ( 1930 )

 

Well, they were ( nearly ) bang on with the smartphone, dunno about the flying car though. . . and they correctly 'Predicted' people actually sitting together, but socialising with other people electronically . . .

FLying car.. Is the Tereafuga certified (not as insane), yet... And I think there is a gyrocopter version of the flying car already on sale...

I saw a video of a flying car some months ago, can't remember what it was called though. If these things ever become a widely available reality; I'll bet that the accident investigators in various countries will have their hands a bit on the full side,. . .unless they are all automated . . I mean, WE nerdy, well experienced Pilots have enough difficulty staying out of trouble don't we . . !

Phil, re: Visions of the Future,

 

Been done before.

 

I'm sure you've heard of a bloke called Jules Verne. He wrote a couple of SF yarns back in the 1800's.

 

But I bet you haven't read his very short story "In the Year 2889" ?

 

A short story written in 1885 (but not printed until 1889), simply describing a day in the life of a businessman, one thousand years in the future. Get it from Gutenberg Project.

 

He Foresees supersonic intercontinental travel, Skype, internet, etc, so he was a bit out with his timing - we got there a lot quicker than he thought. Maybe he set his time machine to the wrong year !

DAMN IT TO HELL. . . .I get to the bloody bottle bank after a hard night on the champers. . . .and the damn bottle won't fit ?

 

I can only assume that these containers are designed for the 'Plebs' with their £3.99 bottles of El-Cheapo fizz,. . . and not for the aristocracy. . . . like me. . . . .

After studying the picture, I would have thought the opposite.

 

Classic case that proves that some people don't get to breed without the aid of beer goggles.

 

Or the drinkers lament;

 

"I've been to bed with a lot of beautiful women, but haven't woken up next to one yet"
