A 1930s vision of the future...

Gday...

A fascinating and accurate glance into the future in 1930 from an artist who got it pretty spot on.

Also note that they are engrossed in technology and talking to others on their devices whilst ignoring each other at the table - sadly what many do now that such technology is in our hands.

I've seen some web sites that claim that this image was done in the 21st century by artist Bruce McCall.
