It is interesting to look, how people that lived more than hundred years ago imagined the times we now live in. I have compiled a collection of postcards created by artists in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century on the subject of the Millennium.
Many things depicted on them seem to be funny, but some ideas became a reality.

I live in a 30.000+ people city in France and i got a bike postwoman. Love it! they have cars and electric vehicules too but i really prefer bikers postwoman-postman.

Still trying to figure out autonomous road vehicles. A little ways from this future yet.
Well, actually... drivers in Houston began shooting at one another loooooonnnnnggg before l'an 2000!

Or maybe you can tell because the name of the company stamped on every card is in French.
Either wings or underwater.
They'd be disappointed to know that women did not cover their knees is 2000.

Bruh they are obsessed with wings and underwater
