24 Retro Ads That Tried to Predict the Future

Businesses have one thing in common with science fiction writers: they try to predict the future. If a business can correctly predict the next trend or the next big thing, then they can make whole gobs of money. Even better, they can use the power of marketing to convince people that their thing is that next trend. The result is advertisements not just trying to predict the future, but showing people what they want the future to be. 


These 24 ads take their shot at predicting the modern world, and while some are eerily accurate, others fall well short of the mark. Yes, inflation has made the cost of living very difficult, and yes we will do everything in our power to avoid cooking meals. But no, we don't live in floating cities on the water or in the air. Check out these retro ads that get it right and wrong.
