Is It Any Wonder That I, Kathleen, and PatSue Are Bitter?

These pictures are from a 1950 article in Mechanix Illustrated. It describes in detail what life will be like in 2000 AD. I would like to point out that I do not have the luxury of hosing down my furniture. And I am not quite sure if an "electronic stove" is the same as a microwave. 75 seconds to cook a dinner is awfully fast, even by microwave standards. But the "electronic stove" is much bigger than a microwave, so maybe it is also much faster. I like the slot where you insert the food.

The article also goes on in much detail about how the denizens of 2000 AD will all be flying to work in their private helicopters. Once again, at the risk of sounding (more) bitter, I must point out that I do not have a helicopter.
