These are all pictures and illustrations of what people predicted future vehicles would be like today. To me, beyond the coolness of the pictures, is the analysis of where they went wrong. You see, predicting the future does not usually work, because we are too fixed on how things are right now. For instance, the clothing in the pictures is the most wrong. Men don’t dress nice in suits all the time like they used to. It is a way for futurists such as myself to look at the mistakes in predicting made before and try to avoid them. Society, dress and appearance is likely to change just as much as technology. The pictures also do not reflect a change in urban buildings or lifestyle as technology changes. With that added thought, enjoy!

I don’t think their being “right” about the whole picture is important – I think the beauty and sublime detail is what is really important. It would be enough for a lifetime to design even one of these beautiful visions of the future.
Thank you for so a full a plate!

I agree. As a person who writes science fiction though, I always try to understand how our current view of things skews are ability to truly predict the future. I doubt anyone knew what computers would do for the world, or cell phones.

This is something I can joyfully disagree with – with all due respect we (normal people) were so far behind reality it is a hoot. YES, THEY did know what computers and cell phones would do. We (again, normal people) think these things sort of evolved recently. Generously, the consumer world lives two (minimum) or three decades behind “science.” That is why I think the glimpse artist’s gave us of space is lovely – a peak – yet we were so out of it we didn’t know what was going on. Much like right now.
I love space art. So glad I found your blog. It will be my pleasure to follow you. Laughing all the way to the future.
