Twenty years later, I picked up an old children’s book called “Future”. Many of the forecasts for 2018/2020 are far from realizing, but there are some fields to the pass and others less …
The future of twenty years ago.
I have just gotten ricapitato in hand an old illustrated book by DeAgostini that I read as an adolescent beginning around 1998: the title, dreamy is THE FUTURE.
The book is gradually going to present the latest technological innovations, and — ambitious — launches into a series of forecasts. What is even more interesting, as an illustrated book, tries to show and visualize possible future inventions, through drawn illustrations and 3D rendering.
Note: Many of the forecasts refer to 2020, or to “twenty years later”, then to our 2018.
A “lazy” future
Once I reread the whole book, with an overview of the content I realized one thing: some inventions and discoveries have arrived, others not. As I expected.
