I remember reading somewhere that 50 years ago, they thought we would be able to control the weather in 2000.

Remeber flying cars?

Man was that rich.

I was talking about this with my brother yesterday. How movies always have these incredible forecasts of the futere.
Remember Back to the Future 2? Flying cars, 3D movies, force field technoligy. :D

Minority Report is one of those movies. But that atmosphere there just makes me feel sick. :green: Why does EVERYTHING have to be new?? Nowadays we're still using things of 50 years old.... or things that really look like it. :)

+rep for the computer pic though. :p

The funny thing is that our government has them. Seriously.

Re: Popular mechanics was right....
 

They also have Aliens.
And Bigfoot.
And Elvis.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

*conspiracy face*

They don't have flying cars... haha.. The physics of that are impossible at the moment, I mean for a car to fly it has to have a thrust weight ratio and It's just not economic for the world if we have flying cars. Until there is a better way to make them fly :)



Ace195 has left the building.....with elvis!!! wh000000!1!1!!

You've been Punk'd, or Farked, as the case may be.

The photo is real, but the text isn't.

That's from an old Sub.

Re: Popular mechanics was right....
 

Haha, that's great. :D

I've heard about flying cars. I think they work like helicopters...

Re: Popular mechanics was right....
 

The public has them too. The future is here.

Re: Popular mechanics was right....
 

that'd make sense... thought "how a home computer could look like" sounded a little like a 4th grader talking

either "how a home computer could look" or "what a home computer could look like"


or they were just dummies in the 50's

Re: Popular mechanics was right....
 

I think the bottom picture of the flying car is more of a joke...

Re: Popular mechanics was right....
 

Hello? The Harry Potter car is the real deal, chum!
