From 1899 to 1910, Jean-Marc Côté and other French artists imagined what the future would look like in a series of postcards called, In the Year 2000. They postcards were made for the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris and they are really something!
Take a look! These artists thought the future would have a lot more robots, flying contraptions, and that we’d be spending more time UNDERWATER!
