Had to show everyone this incredible hi-fi sphere.

This image was from a book published in 1962 with predictions of life for 1975.

More pictures from "1975: And The Changes to Come" by Arnold B. Barach can be seen on Derek Bostrom's flickr.

I also found this 1968 magazine article which predicts what life will be like in 2008. So close, yet so far...

    I love hearing about old predictions of "the future" and seeing corresponding artistic visions. In fact, I have a few books that are chock full of such things!
    That hi-fi sphere is trippy! Are those speakers on the ends of what look like T.V. antennae? Strange!

    That is the coolest, spaciest, most fabulous stereo I've ever seen. Can you imagine having that in your living room? You'd be the envy (or the recipient of pity, depending) of everyone who walked in your door!
