99 Graphic Insights into the Future

— September 9, 2008 — Art & Design
People have been predicting the future since the dawn of civilization, but the impacts of global warming haven’t been taken into consideration until recently.

How will the recurrence of natural disasters due to climate change impact the visions of futurists?

Some present day ideas of where technology could lead may look insane, but when the Jetsons debuted in 1962, flying cars seemed outrageous, yet now airborne autos may not be so far off.

Galactic glam fashion speaks to our obsession with a space-age future, as do innovations showcasing everything from cell phones of 2012 to overviews of major cities 50 years from now.

Who knows, perhaps some of these prototypes and concepts will become as ubiquitous as the iPod or Ford Focus today.

Now sit back, picture yourself in a 2050 space chair, and enjoy your preview of the future…
