I wonder to what extent these prints are just jokes. Will someone in a thousand years look back at Futurama and think it was a serious prediction of the future?
- jhamburger 16y agoYeah I'm not sure they were really predicting that police would fly around in hang-glider suits. The image was probably just comical then, as it is now.
- moe 16y agoComical? Well, no hang-gliders yet, but have you seen those cops on their segways? Just saying...
- maukdaddy 16y agoI particularly like "Heating with Radium"! http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sGYULzoQCgA/RuSVOqUY0CI/AAAAAAAABDo/xderWVHa-o0/s1600-h/Heating+with+Radium.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sGYULzoQCgA/RuSVOqUY0CI/AAAAAAAABD...
- akkartik 16y agoWhether they were serious or not, they'd probably find it weird to be held up as the canonical word on 'what people thought in 1910' (for all of 15 minutes)
- quinndupont 16y agoThey totally stole those images from Paleofuture. Lame.
