If the predictions people made in the 20th century are anything to go by, don't expect too much from the future - because flying cars, robots and Mars as a holiday destination are just illusions.
Humans have always liked to test themselves in giving one and another predictions for the future, which in most cases turn out to be excessive or utopian.
At the same time, we can ask ourselves the question whether they are predictions too ambitious or we humans do not put enough effort into realizing our ideas? If we think about it, it is not difficult to see that in most cases the first option prevails. Technology is indeed advancing at the speed of light, but still we must keep your feet firmly on the ground.
How they imagined in the 20th century, to live today? We invite you on a very special journey, during which you will get to know homes that, at least for now, have not been built yet!
