Consumer Reports: glimpses of futures past
Photograph used under CC license from ShashiBellamkonda
Consumer Reports is best known for providing in-depth product reviews, but it’s easy to forget that they’ve been doing it for more than 70 years. That means they’ve got some great archive pages of reviews conducted in the past.
Some of the entries give you a real flavour of how people thought about the future; whether it’s this robot dog from - or in-car vinyl record players from 1961… or even portable electric hairdryers.
