Welcome to Awakenings

Life IS history in the making. Every word we say, everything we do becomes history the moment it is said or done. Life void of memories leaves nothing but emptiness. For those who might consider history boring, think again: It is who we are, what we do and why we are here. We are certainly individuals in our thoughts and deeds but we all germinated from seeds planted long, long ago.

A group of French artists designed a series of postcards between 1899 and 1910 that depicted scenes of what they thought we would be doing in the year 2000. Some of them are actually pretty good. Very inventive :-)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

How cool are these? Are you amazed or not really surprised?

    WOW! What insight to the future. I wonder if these people would have been great leaders of the future or maybe they were.

    Thank you again for another interesting post.

      It is a reblog so I don't know where they were retreived originally. They definitely caught my eye for Awakenings!
