Digg: “The Sea City 2000 shows some great paleo-future technology such as the dish-shaped antenna that “beams microwave energy, generated by solar cells, to a receiver on the nearby coast.” The bottom right corner shows a Buckminster Fuller design for a floating community. His design includes shops, schools and homes for 5,000 people.”
My comment: As always, people in the past think technology is going to advance much faster than it actually does. People in the 50′s thought that we would have flying cars in the year 2000, and look where we are now. Maybe we will need to build a structure like that if Al Gore is right and the earth will be covered in a fiery flood from global warming. That’s a really interesting idea though.
