We Are Now Approaching the Futurama
I love commercials, especially ones about the future. Some are inspiring, others are trite, and maybe plain stupid. But the fact that we can dream like this, and then see this stuff come true, is cool. 1939 World’s Fair – a Vision of 1960 “The freedom to think and the Continue Reading
