Flickr Group: In the Year 2000

The Paleo-Future blog and Boing Boing Gadgets have started a Flickr group called In the Year 2000. As Joel over at BB Gadgets has noted, there is already great interest in the group (211 members so far) along with some great images. I hope to see this community grow because I've already found many images that I've never seen before.


The image above is from 1969 and taken from the Soviet magazine Teknika Molodezhi. Flickrtarian Avi Abrams added it to the group.

Russian Paleo-Future (circa 1900)

BoingBoing has a link to the blog Dark Roasted Blend and some great Russian paleo-futurism. While I take issue with Blend's contention that these are, "...probably one of the very first truly 'Futuristic/Urban' series of images ever published," it is an amazing set of images.
