Hello - and Happy New Year!
How are you? I hope you are a little refreshed from the New Year's break. Today let's look at some ideas about the future (未来).
Every culture has its own ideas about what the future looks like. The picture above comes from a magazine in the U.S. called Popular Science. It has been published for a long time, and this picture is from 1947.
In one of their magazines from 1947, Popular Science had a report about the future. It imagined many things about it. How many of these things have become real?
These are very some American ideas, especially after World War II, about what the future would look like. Would any of these ideas be the same as some Japanese ideas at that time about the future?

Let's look at these other pictures from the 1947 Popular Science article. What do you think they imagined in these pictures?
例えば：In the picture at the top, maybe they thought all our electricity (電気) would come from nuclear power plants (原子力発電所) in the future.
1. First - let's try to imagine what they thought in these pictures!
2. Next - let's see where these pictures came from with a report about them. Go to the Popular Science website here to find out!
Have fun! See you next time!
