This is how our ancestors thought the future (i.e. today) will be. Most ideas sound ridiculous from today's point of view: Jules Verne's idea of aerodynamical cars: ![]() that can fly: ![]() Cars runing on nuclear power: ![]() and everyone would have a mobile transmitter with which it is possible to talk to your relatives: ![]() ... what a strange idea ... who would want something like that? ![]() ∙-₪-∙ Here some machines that fly ... or not: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ∙-₪-∙ A flying boat that was successful, the Dornier Do X (1929): ![]() ![]() ![]() ... and one that wasn't: ![]() ![]() ∙-₪-∙ Monorail trains: The Aérotrain Expérimental 01 (1965): ![]() and the Alweg-Bahn (1957): ![]() ∙-₪-∙ A very intriguing hood-ornament: ![]() ![]() ... or should I say hound-ornament? ![]() ∙-₪-∙ ![]() ![]() ![]() Having fun at the race-circuit. ∙-₪-∙ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Futuristic robots ∙-₪-∙ The modern kitchen: ![]() ![]() Home shoppling with a personal touch. ![]() A fridge that keeps your veggies for six month. ![]() An induction cooker ... yes, it's not a new idea! ![]() ![]() The recipies are stored on punchcards read by a Hollerith machine. ![]() And the grille works with infrared light. ∙-₪-∙ Homecomputing in the 50s: ![]() The mainboard. ![]() The keyboard (the girl came with it). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I/O stuff. It made incredible 4.300 additions per second. ∙-₪-∙ That's all for now and if I have nothing else to do I will find this one: ![]() ![]() ∙-₪-∙ Thanks to all that helped identifying these strange vehicles! -- Last edit: 2007-12-28 22:01:45 |
