1910's prediction of 2000 vs 2000

[K-97]

I found this interesting picture concerning the title:

1910

So in most ways, things are actually much better than the prediction foretold?

1910? Sure this isn't some simpleton's predictions? I would have expected them to be a lot more imaginative even at that point.

That is like the sexiest Dystopian future ever.

Also this must be made into a roleplay, especially the flying policemen and personal airplanes without safety equipment.

The third image with the dude grabbing the glass from the waiter is the best thing ever the more you think about it.

Also, bumper tanks!

Yeah it's 1910 but the drawings began in 1899, they're the work of a 19th/20th Century French Artist who tried to imagine what life would be like in the 21st Century. He was weirdly correct most of the time.

I could actually imagine this being a pretty neat setting, with the right story it would be an amazing RP.

I was expecting one of those 'flying car' prediction ones and to see how they predicted too much.
This one turned out to predict too little, interesting. :P

I could see it working.
It honestly reminds me a bit of what would happen if you mixed a Hayao Miyazaki movie world with a Renaissance kind of Steam Punk.
