In this day and age, things are rapidly changing and technology is evolving faster and becoming crazier than ever. Things exist now that people could have never even imagined 30 or 40 years ago. It's pretty amazing and kind of terrifying at the same time to think about how quickly everything is evolving. It also makes it kind of difficult to even think about what the future from now on will look like. With so much happening, including AI, VR, and so many other pieces of technology, anything could be possible.

Back in the day, though, the things people thought would be developed in the future were kind of crazy and super interesting to see. Some of the classic things everyone thought would exist by now are flying cars, being able to live on other planets, and things like virtual reality. Some of these things do exist in the modern world but others have yet to be made. It is hard to say if all of these concepts will ever come to fruition.

There are so many drawings and images from the past depicting ideas that people had for the future. Some are pretty outlandish and others are kind of true. Here are 25 images from people of the past who had big ideas for the future.
