The Fu-ture! (future!... future!.......future........)
Cross-posted a little...

Artistic interpretation of the future in a hundred years, a hundred years ago:

Key lessons:
    Slide #1: Click on the right arrow above the image of the crystal ball... that's it...
    Slide #2: The lady of the house will gawk endlessly at the unsightly additions to the home that their geeky husbands have wrought.
    Slide #4: Dr. Seuss will become an influential architect and engineer.
    Slide #5: Hamburgers will be served in roofless commuter planes.
    Slide #6: The more things change, the more they will stay the same. Really.
    Slide #7: Everything will be mass produced by soul-less machines.
    Slide #9: OMG! Flying- er, umm... I think we've seen those already on Madonna.
    Slide #10: Pr0n will become a social experience in the privacy of one's home.
    Slide #15: People will collect and actually use antique technologies.
    Slide #16: We will redefine fast food, but it will be a hit or miss experience.
    Slide #17: The lady of the house will make use of machines to do her work for her.
    Slide #19: Dog and pony shows will continue well into the future.
    Slide #22: Felons will commit daring air-borne jail breaks like the kind you see now everyday (on CSI: Miami)
    Slide #23: The barber shoppe will become an assembly line experience.

There are actually 25 of those pictures extant as far as I know.

The ones you're missing are

"Les Pompiers aériens" [Flying Firemen]
"Audition du Journal" [Listening to the Newspaper]
"Dictant son courrier" [Dictating His Mail]

They're fairly readily found on line if you want to add them.

Not my link content, but I appreciated it. I skipped over some of the slides I just couldn't come up with a good ad-lib for.

Just "L'an 2000"

There doesn't seem to be any one web site that has all of them, but if you follow links to that plus the name of the studio, Villemard, you find all of them eventually.

I love the one where the children are seeing for the first time a REAL LIVE HORSE!
