Postcards Predicting Future

It's amazing how when i heard about starting this blog, i was so worried about finding articles or events to talk about that combine art with science or are interesting. Now i see stuff all over the place that i can use for this blog, it's kind of like when you get a new car you start seeing that car everywhere!
Today i saw an interesting slideshow on Yahoo.com about how some French artists made postcards depicting how they thought we would be living in the year 2000. These postcards were created in the 15th century, and although some of their ideas are still far-fetched, some of their predictions are super close! It's an interesting slideshow, here is the link. : http://news.yahoo.com/photos/historic-visions-of-the-future-slideshow/postcards-from-the-future-photo-1347289263.html#crsl=%252Fphotos%252Fhistoric-visions-of-the-future-slideshow%252Fpostcards-from-the-future-photo-1347289263.html

However, if you don't want to go through the slideshow, i'll provide some of my favorite slides right here.

 1) The above image shows how the artists thought our barber shops would be. A robot that does all the work for us, with just a push of the button!
