Back in 1900, a German chocolate manufacturer by the name of Hildebrands decided to create a series of postcards predicting what might be like in the year 2000. Some of the predictions, such as live broadcasting, turned out to be perfectly accurate, but others, such as weather-proof cities, are just plain laughable. Take a look at the 12 predictions made by these 117-year-old postcards:
1. Personal flying machines.

2. Movable sidewalks.
