Where's the future we were promised we should have had by now, like fish bowl swimming pools, flying cars, and mining on the moon.

In the 1930s scientists were trying to come up with anti-gravity and flying cars-- now it's more than 50 years later and we're still waiting on hoverpads and personal air vehicles.

As a matter of fact, the only two things that were predicted by futurists that we actually got are the electronic home library, and robot warehouses where the bots fetch your orders. Sometimes futurism is more hopeful than predictive.

One such futurist was Arthur Radebaugh, who was also an illustrator who came up with many of the "world of tomorrow!" style ads that you'd see gracing the inside pages of magazines like Motor, Esquire, Fortune and Advertising Agency throughout the 1930s. He even coined the term "imagineering" back in 1947.

Here's an online exhibit of Radebaugh's art at the Palace of Culture called "The Future We Were Promised, where you'll see art like the picture above.
