This was originally posted in 2011, but it still remains cool. The Sad and Useless Blog posted numerous illustrations made by French artist Villemard in 1910 of how he imagined the future to be in the year 2000.
Somewhat prescient pictures include:

- You’ll be able to send mail just by dictating it into loudspeaker
- Building sites will be equipped with automatic devices and machines, and
- Video-telegraph
