Monday Musings... Postcards of the year 2000

I remember being at primary school and discussing what we thought life would be like in the year 2000. Since I was a kid of the eighties my predictions centred around hover boards, time travel and having the ability to consume three meals a day in a pill format. Sadly the hover boards and time travel are maybe still to come?! The meals in a pill format probably is best seen in crazy diet fads which isn't really what I was going for in the first place!

I was looking around on retronaut.com and came across sets of postcards from 1900 that predict life in the year 2000, enjoy...

'A stroll on the water'
