It’s crazy to think both how short and infinitely long a century is. You see, Motorola’s DynaTAC, the first cell phone, was launched in 1984 for a price of $3,995. And today, nobody can imagine their life without touch-screen mobiles with integrated Leica cameras and AI face recognition systems that come at much less than Motorola’s initial price.
So imagine how differently people back then perceived the advancements in technology that looked both incredible and life-changing. And they were. But technology, and the world we live in, escalates so quickly that it surpasses our best forecasts for what the future holds.
And this time, we are talking a look at retro-futuristic examples created in the previous century that give us a glimpse into weird and wonderful dreams of the human mind.

An Artists Depiction Of The Future, Painted In 1930
The design might not look the same, but they actually knew what would happen in the future... P.S. Why are we video calling so much all of a sudden? people don't even do regular phone calls anymore. I don't get why you need to see my face when we talk
Just do what I do and say the selfie camera is messed up, can only use the back one.
Load More Replies...Crazy, they imagined something like Videochat but can't imagined little micros. The car in the back is still future.
Ah, yes. Being on the phone talking to others instead of socializing with the person next to you. Spot on!
A Fifties Navigation System. Don't Know Who Imagined This But I Love It!
Actually, it's a ln image someone created in 2013 https://www.designcrowd.com/design/8798738
I was wondering that since al the other slides are photographs, not maps (besides it looking like a pastiche of google maps, not the maps used back in the day)
Load More Replies...Looks as though it's a View Master with different destinations in map form you can pick from.
The first navigation system has been developed in 1932 so it's not very surprising
I was wondering when someone would mention the Viewmaster...VPS, Well done!
Load More Replies...To find out more about the weird and wonderful retrofuturism movement, Bored Panda reached out to Lisa Yaszek, a Regents Professor of Science Fiction Studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Lisa explained that when we talk about retrofuturist objects and images, we usually refer to images of the past from the late 1800s through the space race, like many of the images collected here. “And when we look at these images, it becomes clear that people from the past actually had expectations of the future that were often quite like our own!”
1940s Vision Of Food Delivery Future
This is actually cool. when you order something, as the truck moves to your house, they are also preparing the food. It gets to you as soon as it's plated. AMAZING
In my childhood, before there were supermarkets everywhere a truck like that would come twice a week so people who didn't have access to a car could get their supplies. It had fresh produce, dairy and meat and you could pre-order pretty much anything. There was a also a separate bread truck.
A hot meal right in front of you doorstep, i approve raise hands,if u agree 🙌🏾
Ok but imagine trying to cook in a moving truck. There's a reason why food trucks can't move around with ppl in the back. It's dangerous af.
According to Lisa, “they seem to have been particularly good at extrapolating from all the exciting new communications technologies of the time—telephones, radios, film, and TV—to imagine a range of new communications technologies much like we have now that allow us to talk to anyone from anywhere (#1 and 11), navigate our cars with ease (#2), get breaking news on our screens (#5), and even shop from home (#18 is shockingly on the mark).”
We Really Messed Up
Well, this might come in handy when global warming melts the ice sheets!
Those balloons would need to be much larger. Assuming those little flotation shoes give little lifting force, it would take a helium balloon around 18 feet in diameter to lift a 150lb person.
Especially that horse! Damn by judging the size of that balloon that horse could be more than 100 lbs.

"Twenty dead and fifteen missing" ... not much has changed for front page news. Same doom and gloom on front page.
Strange article the artist chose to illustrate the invention...
Load More Replies...It actually was done. In Denmark we have (had?) this system called text tv where you could (can?) acces certain textpages via your remote on the tv to gather relevant information; kind of like you would browse the web, but with more limited content. The tech actually existed, but is now hopelessly outdated. So it is more representative of the past than the future now
Great choice of article there. Couldn't they have shown a capybara cuddling a kitten?
That actually happened before eventually phased out: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext
They had high hopes for the Dirigible, didn't they. So this was drawn pre-hindenburg.
Self Driving Cars Of The Future, Circa 1960
Me, too! Imagine spending a 6-hour drive playing dominoes with your family...
Load More Replies...No, there are cars who can go on the highway without any support, it's this reality.
Load More Replies...Sorry, still not there yet. Roads too dangerous for this technology.
I don’t think it is, I think it’s a kind of track for it to follow, they’re all doing it.
Load More Replies...As long as they had those lines in the road, this would have been doable with 1960's technology -- electric-eye sensors could see the lines, and radar altimeter technology was also available (but probably size/cost prohibitive for a production car)
I remember seeing this as a child. There were supposed to be magnets under the road that propelled you car along it. It was in the magazine Highlights.
Load More Replies...Moreover, “People of the past were also quite good at anticipating how our clothing and personal presentation might change! Image #1 presents us with the kind of brightly colored, streamlined, unisex uniform first imagined by avant-garde artists and then made popular by science fiction filmmakers in the opening decades of the twentieth century and that are still very much with us today.”
As for image #16, Lisa sees it as an exciting representation of future fashion. “The two models here appear to be wearing then-contemporary undergarments, but other aspects of their styles are very modern! The artist certainly guessed correctly that in the future, we would wear less clothing in public, indulge in more body ornamentation (the man’s tattoos look a lot like the tribal body art that became popular with the Modern Primitive movement in the 1990s), and that gender roles might be less clearly defined.”
2022
I think it’s more smart car based. I’m referring specifically to the brand (considering the name has nothing to do with the car being intelligent or anyone owning one being more intelligent for that).
Load More Replies...Yeah, i know. I'm still going to be wearing a mask indoors and around crowds for a while.
Load More Replies...I wonder if the artist was thinking electric or petrol vehicles. What about families? And why is the one gentleman tipping his hat to Jason?
I think he's tipping his hat to a woman wearing a turban.
Load More Replies...Social distance on streets. But doesn't look safe enough for possible collisions.
'ship's Cat' By Keith Spangle
I am calling BS. There is no way that the cat would not knock over the glass of juice.
Apparently this cat appreciates escargot and the finest of wines when window watching
Imagine you're on the bridge. The ship is at red alert and combat ready in the middle of a stand-off against the Klingons. The captain has to ask the Klingons to hang on a bit because the cat is sitting on the ships controls and won't move. And they absolutely understand the predicament! Klingons would assume the cat ruled the ship - Ah the arrogance! the command! the Pride! A suvwI'.
Bahaha...there is a Targ sitting on the controls in the Klingon ship barking at the cat
Load More Replies...This can't be accurate...... the cat would have knocked the glass off by now.
Ellen Ripley's cat Jones, thinking about the old days she saved them from the Xenomorph and they escaped from the Nostromo ship's destruction.
cats HATE being in zero-g so we need to have artificial gravity in space for them.
The picture above shown the spaceship has Artificial Gravity.
Load More Replies...I agree. I'm sure in the future the cats will build ships and conquer the Solar System.
The Future Of Phones, 1956
Not even in the imagined picture is it possible to hold the phone comfortably.
It's very important that a woman's hand always looks sexy, not comfy.
Load More Replies...There was a stage where the buttons were on the handset - this picture just doesn't extend "future" far enough.
that's right, for a minute there this was pretty accurate
Load More Replies...If you consider that the 80´s were the future of 1956, then the picture is quite accurate
Except for the assignment of the letters of the alphabet to the number buttons (no Q or Z) and the omission of the * and # symbols. But yeah, close enough!
Load More Replies...Oh... if they only knew what a time suck a phone would become.
That's actually not that far off the last generation of slimline wired handsets that were popular before people switched to wireless home phones with base stations and then to mobiles. The old slimlines were more rectangular, but they had the number pads integrated into the handset like that.
Having said that, the people of the past were not always very accurate with their predictions about the use of big science and big engineering, said Lisa. “Images #15, 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, and 30 are particularly good examples of the utopian dream that someone—possibly the state, possibly a benevolent corporation—will engage in big, public engineering projects that will allow us to live well in the potentially hostile environments we might encounter in the future.”
James Bond Receives A "Text" Via His Smartwatch In The Spy Who Loved Me
But where would he keep the roll of tape the message is stamped onto?
Definitely had to be edible so his nemesis couldn't get hold of it.
Load More Replies...I wonder why the designer decided that the text would be f*cking printed out instead of just...appearing on his digital watch?...like numbers...
Because now you can use it as a measuring tape also!! If you add cm on the side😂😂😂
Load More Replies...I like how it's embossed in the old crimp label maker style instead of just bring printed on. Would love to see the mechanism that could do such a thing in a watch!
It looks like the metal tape for the biggest of the DYMO embossing label makers.
Load More Replies...I like that the sender is not sparing the tape. They're going for 'immediately' instead of 'now'.
1970s Futuristic Concept For Jetliner Air Travel
All we got were planes that don't even have place for our knees..
Load More Replies...This was clearly 'imagined' by an artist and not an engineer. By the 1940's we had a sufficiently good understanding of aerodynamics that even a novice engineer would have seen the physical absurdity of this 'design'
Yes, I think this picture probably is an artist's absurdist idea rather than a vision for the future.
Load More Replies...They had to do something, that wing setup sure wasn't getting them off the ground.
Load More Replies...It is unsinkable, wait... it is unfallable!!! LOL (😂😂😂 unfallable- since plane fall out of the sky)
Load More Replies...Which makes more sense because it seems like a place you want to be for a while. Not to mention how silly it would be to carry that kind a load very quickly by air time after time.

Load More Replies...Being rapped on the head for misbehaving was the norm in 1970's Catholic School!
And wrong answer mean you didn't study hard enough, was lazy, so it's misbehaving and punishment...
Load More Replies...Because if you have good classroom management, you don't need it. And hitting a child is not only unnecessary but traumatic for the child.
Load More Replies...on the right green shirt boy is happy about getting hit on the head.
For some reason when I look at this drawing, I am taken back to the 1970s and when that toy called "Clackers" was popular. I can still feel it too!
The Japanese have the wackiest game shows. It's nice to see they had a way to recycle some of the show props as children-minders.
According to the professor, people also had surprisingly different ideas about transportation than we do now. “I get the sense that the women in image #1 have flown their personal airplanes to the restaurant for a quick drink, and I love the idea that we might create maglevs for mass transit and then use balloons and mechanized glass domes for personal travel (#4, 7). People were right to guess that we’d have automated cars (#6, 17), but they clearly didn’t anticipate that such cars would be used mostly for corporate purposes.”
“Finally, as a university professor, I am desperately sad that we have not developed robots to rap students on the head when they are misbehaving as in image #10. Someone needs to start working on that immediately,” the professor commented.
VR In 1989
Someone keeps saying jesus is lord... I grew up in a christian household but we never forced it down other people's throats. It is annoying
I believe Jesus is Lord, but I don't say it in the middle of random conversations. As you say, it just annoys people and probably puts them off, if anything.
Load More Replies...Is it just me or is she living out her fantasy of shooting someone?
By the looks of it, that literally WAS virtual reality in 1989. That's not how they imagined the future, that is a real working VR headset and gloves
this isn't a prediction, it's an actual functioning VR headset at the time. It's like showing an old car and claiming it predicted our modern cars when it's basically the same technology, just made better.
I have a Rift and glasses and it works quite well with a little spacer.

Artoo Deco
This is not old. Kurt Zimmerman is a contemporary kids author and droid maker. I looked him up - some of his books were published in 2012. So, this was inspired BY Star Wars, not an inspiration FOR it.
How Nasa Imagined Life In Space
katie-bot's comments are the first ones I see under the post. how does the BP algorithm work that the post with the most down votes is seen first?
Load More Replies...Nope. This is how Larry Niven imagined life in space in 1970's "Ringworld," pre-dating, by far, the Elysium film.
This is NASAs concept of a Bernal Sphere - originally conceived all the way back in 1929.
A thought just occurred to me----> guns wouldn't be permitted as their bullets would puncture the tube; hence, the air pressure needed to sustain life would be compromised....maybe this IS the answer to gun control?????????????
The professor of science fiction studies also noted that it’s important to remember that these futures were not retro to the people who imagined them. “They were modern imaginings of the future, inspired by the cutting-edge sciences and avant-garde arts of the time.”
From the retrofuturist images that were generated between the 1880s and 1960s, “we get a great sense of the sciences and technologies that were most important to people of the past, including new modes of mass and personal transportation, new communication technologies, and new habitats for new forms of living (garden mega-cities and artificial ringworlds),” Lisa explained.
Fashions Of 1950, As Predicted On The Cover Of Life Magazine In 1914
Yes more like the 90's and 00's. A lot of skimpy fashions showing a lot of skin back then even outside in winter. It's now gone full circle to the baggy clothes of the early 90's.
Load More Replies...Her little outfit is cute, though. But why is dude wearing a diaper and carrying a cane?
Just like we predict that ripped jeans will be ripped to the point of non existence
Why would people walk about in just pants and an (admittedly fabulous) hat? Did they think there was no weather in 1950?
1981 Vision Of Suburbia After There's No More Room Left For Suburbs
I love the fact that everyone still has a garden and freestanding house instead of a balcony with no space.
Except without sun shining on the trees, they would actually die, so it’s a smidge unrealistic...
Load More Replies...Place looks like it's in the middle of nowhere. No room for spreading out, they say?
So much plants, but there must be a hole in the middle for daylight. Think about the consumption of water.
Yeah the arcology where you have a self sustaining "city" in a building. This was first thought of in the 60s. And 60 years later, we aren't quite there yet. Maybe another 60 years would do the trick.
Home Shopping In The 1940s
“Yep, that looks like I don’t need it.” *click* (you may checkout now)
Load More Replies...The shopping channel is sort of like this. I have known people who have spoken to the host while it was being broadcast.
When I was a kid (60s-70s), there was ONE clothing store in a bigger town where I got almost all my clothes. I got jeans from our Village Department Store and they were so stiff, dark and un-hemmed it took a while to break them in. I miss those days.
Lisa added that “people were inspired by the rise of modern cities and modern factories to imagine that we would enjoy many large, state- or corporate-sponsored public works projects—and that those projects would combine the best of the natural and technological worlds,” and added: “They are wholeheartedly utopian!”

No and it’s something I didn’t think I needed, but I’m gonna go pick me up a pug now.
Load More Replies...City Of The Future As Imagined In 1908
It's interesting to see how integrated all the architecture and roads are, when the reality is more an individual mish-mash as each building is made by its own designer with no thought to the ones next to it. It would take a massive investment and tons of planning to create such a unified city as depicted. Cities grow organically as people come and go, businesses springing to accommodate their needs. That's why ready-built "cities of the future" often fail. You can't just build infrastructure and hope people will move in.
That was my first thought too. The first Batman movie made me think of Metropolis as well.
Load More Replies...So, and now, we'll hire this guy to sort this out a bit ... I think his name is Escher ...

Meanwhile, Lina Survila, a global tech PR and chief editor at Abstract Stylist, also told Bored Panda that “artists had the perfect vision, and it seems they were very close to the ideas we see today.”
Moreover, “Retro futurist aesthetics have touched every possible art form there is. Fashion is no exception. When we think of futurism in fashion and a bright vision of what the future might be, we think of Paco Rabanne. The Spanish fashion designer was active in the '60s and totally disrupted the fashion scene with retrofuturistic designs and his ideas of how people would dress in the future (most likely, that future is now).”

1984 Smart Watch
I like Apple's version of Smart Watch much better, thank you very much.
This is how it felt having to carry around those huge graphing calculators for one math class in college.
Retro ideas of how the future would look inspired many creators, artists, and thinkers, “from architect and designer Matti Suuronen (Futuro house created in the 1970s) to writer Isaac Asimov's book The Naked Sun.” Lina added that The Jetsons with their retrofuturistic flying cars also deserve a big shout-out in popularizing the movement’s aesthetics in popular culture.

This is cool, but I wish they had done a better job of separating (or at least labeling) the things that are actually retro futurism from the things that were created more recently to _look_ like retro futurism.
I love this! Retro-Futurism always looks paramount cool, and I love how the progress of technology sometimes isn't expected - tapes, gigantic tube TVs (in cartoons, they reached a size of a man ... as a tube can only project imagery on a certain area per unit, those would be pretty hard to synchronize ...

Retro-Futurism always looks paramount cool, and I love how the progress of technology sometimes isn't expected - tapes, gigantic tube TVs (in cartoons, they reached a size of a man ... as a tube can only project imagery on a certain area per unit, those would be pretty hard to synchronize ... I only know of fourtube TV devices, which never were any common, but always expensive, huge, heavy and, aside from size, not really any progress compared to the one or two tube units. But, I love it ... still love it.
Would love to tell Katie Potasky that I'm a lesbian, feminist and practice witchcraft. Just imagine her face!
Haha, love it. I'm a homosexual Jew...where you at Katie? Oh, she's off praying for our damned lost souls.
