The future ain’t what it used to be. Case in point: the “Futurama” exhibit from the 1964 Worlds Fair, displaying all kinds of stuff that people thought should have been in place by now.

Beyond how close they got it or how far off the mark, one thing to consider: if such a display were put on today… would much of anybody even care? I suspect not. i just can’t see people getting excited by this sort of thing anymore. “Just Google it.”
