French Postcards from the Past Predict the Future!

It's weird how close some of them are, although, of course, they couldn't quite envision how different the future could be :-) Clickez vous!

EDIT: Check out the 1990s picturephones too!

I like how seamless the Flowers by Alice technology is. If only current voice concierges were like that.

"Lady in Her Bathroom" looks like a car wash! "Correspondence Cinema" reminds me of YouTube, which in 2000 wasn't yet quite the phenomena it now is.

LOL, doesn't it though? I wonder if car wash makers got the idea from the postcard - it's too eerie. Boy, the other postcard will look quaint when we get holophones :-)
