Thank the folks at Paleo-Future for sharing visions of the future from the past. The site is chock full of fascinating articles and images of "future" technology such as this beautiful 1910 French print of the classroom of the year 2000. You can even share your memories of the future by taking part in the Paleo-Future Project. "The Paleo-Future Project seeks to document our collective memory of the future."
It's funny how one's mind can distort distant memories. Take this obscure t.v. 1979 show called Salvage 1. What I remembered as a t.v. show starring Bruce Dern about people in a junk yard trying to escape a zombie infested Earth was actually just the story of Andy Griffith trying to build a spaceship so he can Salvage the Apollo mission space junk sitting on the moon. Actually, with the exception of Andy Griffith, that whole idea doesn't seem too far fetched. The Moon has all sorts of people junk including the Apollo mission equipment. That's gotta be worth something.
