Interesting article from the year 1900.

No, we don't have flying cars yet. But who cares? These robots are much cooler than flying cars could ever be!

Makes you wonder what we will see next...


Note: I've created a list of cool robots over at the Arcana Wiki - there are links to quite a few other interesting developments over there...

Mad Max and the Meltdown - How we went from Christmas to crisis.

"This year we celebrate the desacralized "holidays" amid what is for many unprecedented economic ruin -- fortunes halved, jobs lost, homes foreclosed. People wonder, What happened? One man's theory: A nation whose people can't say "Merry Christmas" is a nation capable of ruining its own economy."
