I very much enjoy these sketches by Cote and others envisioning what this century would be like from the vantage point of the last. http://publicdomainreview.org/2012/06/30/france-in-the-year-.../ What interests me is that some of the ideas are reasonably accurate, although they are using antiquated technology in an antiquated setting (e.g. the steampunk synthesier concert to a polite parlour audience) whereas some are laughable because the entire concept has been superseded: flying postal workers delivering letters to rural inhabitants, risible for much different reasons.
