I found the above while doing an image search for "house of tomorrow". The pic dates back to 1956. The artist was not too far off in certain circumstances; note the flat screen tv, or the pre-skype-style video conferencing system in the kitchen. The artist was off on 3 minor aspects of the painting, however. Only a handful of people have a private helicopter, not many people smoke inside their homes anymore, and nobody watches channel 3...Tuesday, December 07, 2010

and don't even get me started on that stupid smoking jacket

Like do they even sell smoking jackets anymore?
All of my meals are delivered from a clear plastic cube also!
I don't know what's up with the fact that the kitchen has no roof.
They probably assumed that a)we would be able to control the weather, or b)there's a big retractable roof that's open so we can't see it and it appears like an open-air kitchen.
Cigars for grandfathers, as popular as ever. Putting your ass on a kitchen counter, more acceptable than before!
Fred was spot-on with the 3D flat screen TV and the microwave stove.
I had to give up my private helicopter after I ran out of blades.
Blast: I love the artwork of it, though.
Steve: That was never allowed in our house (sitting on the counter). You just didn't do that. My folks were so uptight about that.
SP: Fred??? Sorry, you lost me
There's no Wii! But i must say, I absolutely love the refrigerator with the slide-out glass shelves. Very cool.
I guess the artist had no clue that eventually kids wouldn't care about Westerns
... and who knew that in the near-future all the women would have 16-inch waists
