The future is now, but the future is also in 10, 20, and 30 years. Things are changing so insanely quickly these days that it's hard to keep up with everything that is new. Technology is advancing faster than ever before which can be amazing but is also pretty terrifying. There are pieces of technology out there that couldn't have even been thought of 50 years ago.

Everything from flying cars to virtual reality to holograms and more have been thought of.

The Internet has eternalized many images of what people thought the world would look like now. Here is a collection of 23 of concepts, ideas, prototypes, and pieces of art showcasing what some people thought the world would look like by now.
