Squandrous

Daniel Sinker recently re-discovered a book that he bought when he was a boy, written in 1972, called “2010: Living in the Future.” Now that we’re in 2010, he’s re-posting the contents of the out-of-print book on the web. From the page above:

In the year 2010 you do not sleep on a bed. There are no beds, no tables, no chairs. The floor is made for sitting, sleeping, and walking on. It is soft where you sit or sleep, hard where you need a table or desk.

Your home is very carefully planned.

Click through to read the rest of the book. It’s great to see how people forty years ago imagined the future. I wonder what people forty years from now will think of the predictions we make about the future today.
