It's easy to be a general after a battle, so these photos that show how people around 1900 imagined life in the year 2000 will have you laughing. But after all, they would probably laugh at your hundred-year predictions in a hundred years. The paintings depicting the future are the work of the French painter Jean-Marc Côté, and they adorned postcards and cigarette and cigar boxes.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time.

Laptop, mouse, smartphone, tablet. If we don't have a storage surface, such as a desk, where we can arrange everything in an efficient manner, everything is one big chaos. That's why we love the idea of the LapPad mobile stand (pad and stand) so much, which elegantly solves the problem of managing multiple mobile devices at the same time when away from the desk.

Are you afraid of spiders? Most people probably get chills at the mere mention of a spider, let alone when you actually see it. One who was deathly afraid of spiders was the son of Irish inventor Tony Allen, who discovered the perfect solution to close encounters with spiders - a gadget he called My Critter Catcher. With this spider catcher, you will not only remove the spider without worry, but also without damaging it!
Close-ups of passionate kisses are the work of American photographer Nastia Cloutier-Ignatiev. When a man is head over heels in love, he lives in an invisible bubble. Passionate, hot kissing in a public place is living proof that the couple sees nothing but themselves around them. Such authentic moments were captured by the photographer from Montreal in her facility and packaged in the Love photo series.
The Chinese copy everything. From computer equipment, fashion brands to cars. But (almost) no one has gone as far as the Chinese manufacturer Zoyte has gone in the automotive world. Do you think the photo is a Porsche Macan? No way! This is its Chinese copy, the Zoyte SR8 SUV. It will make its debut at the Beijing Auto Show.
The Mexican hotel Mar Adentro is a true paradise for minimalist orthodox believers. It is certainly the most minimalist hotel in the world. The white-clad complex is the work of Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragonés.

Apple lovers, look away! We are usually used to writing that Apple once again destroyed the competition with its latest product, but this time it tasted the other side. Admittedly, it was not destroyed by the competition, but by Michael Tompert, who did it for an art project.
