An altogether more entertaining site (than Wordie, mentioned in the previous post) is Retrofuture, which, takes me back to my childhood, reading “Eagle” comics with series such as Dan Dare, set in the future, and articles on technology – such as the Concorde, refrigerated cargo ships and satellite launchers.
Unfortunately, the predictions in Eagle and those collected in Retrofuture were often far from what actually developed, but that’s what makes them such good fun to look back on.
