In this picture, students in school are learning from textbooks being dropped into a machine. . . Not sure how the artist thought it would be that advanced and still dumb enough that the machinery would require a hand-powered crank.
Here an architect is constructing a building remotely. The strange part is his control panel appears to only have twelve buttons at most. That certainly must be difficult to imagine.
This one dumbfounds me. They aren't hair styling machines, they're shaving machines. How anyone would get close to that is beyond me. And the decision to put them behind the face seems like an unnecessary handicap.
Considering how much the French love their scooters, I'd say this is the most spot on depiction of the set. However the riot shields are an interesting choice. Seems like it would make it hard to detect things coming at you from a front angle.
Not sure what's happening here, notice it's uncommon to think of an invention to replace things recently invented, I.E. no concept for speakers in 1910 because the Victrola already made this drawing look high tech.
Took me a second to figure this out, but the man from Curious George on the left and his family are shocked by seeing a horse. I wouldn't say he nailed it but it's more accurate than the classroom.
Fireplace replaced by divine light. Where can I get one of these?
I love that in the future we all have snazzy flying machines. . . Oh wait.
Seriously, still waiting on these things. What the hell future? You are disappointing.
"Wait! I have to write you a ticket but I can't stop flapping!"
Is it me or are they about to collide? It doesn't look like those gliders can hover.
It's an interesting picture of what the world would be like, that's for sure. Very 1910 and very French, too. It would be a lot of fun to write a story set in a world like this, and maybe write in some really extreme tech to make the absurd stuff possible.
