@randir12 Instead of improving our life quality we end up spending 75% of our income to dindus, migrants and co. Oh and we are also breeding out of existence, 45% of new born in 2015 were non-white. Good bye my beautiful country, I will miss you.

I don't know why people care about a race getting bred out of existence.
Who cares
A culture being bred out of existence, I can understand the concern.

Dear Diary,
Today, I got shaved by an automaton, put on my diving gear and rode a genetically modified seahorse to the airport. Once there, I boarded a ship attached to a hot air balloon. To my great delight a flight attendant winked at me and I followed her into the lavatory. Whilst I was fucking the stewardess, the airship clipped a skyscraper and caught fire. Not long after, winged firefighters arrived, flapping their wings about like butterflies they quickly put out the fire. Unfortunatel More..

Fascinating to see how impossible it is to imagine the future. Almost all of these were just enhancements to the conceivable limit of mechanical technology, the apotheosis, either to provide automation or some sort of easy flight to solve their current problems. The capabilities of our electronics and communications were inconceivable. I love also how they didn't bother to update any of the styles either!
The books being ground up and somehow passed to the students' brains through headphones More..

Great post as always. I loved the automatic robot for cleaning/sweeping. If they only could have seen the "roomba" sweeper we have today. Pretty far fetched idea over 100 years ago.

@Yrrom Look how small the artist made the "engine". Remember now that engines...and computing devices got way bigger before they got way smaller. The automatic sweeper was conceived only about 20 years after the first light bulb
