Human beings naturally like to think about some problems. Thinking is one of the greatest pleasures of human beings. Everyone must have thought about what the future looks like?
100 years ago, our ancestors also made some imaginations about our current life.
In the early 20th century, people made predictions about the future of transportation. In 1914, Ford Motor Company developed its first automobile assembly line, with a production capacity of approximately 300,000 cars per year. Transportation began to change society, people began to imagine the future world, everyone in the world can own their own car. Today, 100 years later, this “small goal” is not far from achieving it.
Early futurists filled the sky with a variety of aircraft, varying in size and function. The writer and illustrator Albert Robida imagined a world in which people took their own small flying machines to go to the theatre, the sky boat was used as public transportation, and the sky was a luxury entertainment place. But so far we haven’t turned this idea into reality, and I look forward to experiencing the feeling of a spacecraft in my lifetime!
In addition to the way of travel, people at that time also fantasized about various life modes of mechanical automation. Of course, we still haven’t fully invented this kind of professional machine for training lazy people. But things like sweeping robots and automatic dishwashers have already joined our daily lives.
