They thought clothes might be adaptable to different times of day, but they didn't think that the practice of dressing differently for different times of day might become obsolete for most people. They speculated about future bridal gowns, but it never occurred to them that the 21st-century bride might be marrying another bride.<br /><br />I don't have a flying car or a jet pack to get me to the office, but most days I don't go to the office -- I do my job from home, over the internet. A much more desirable innovation.<br /><br />I will grant that the outfit shown briefly on the man would not actually be worn today by anybody other than an extra in a very poorly-conceived re-make of Buck Rogers vs Ming the Merciless.<br /><br />As for the women's outfits, I'm most pleased by something else they apparently didn't anticipate back then -- mini-skirts.Infidel753https://www.blogger.com/profile/10965786814334886696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095807065479059898.post-27230465552834331492011-10-02T07:32:40.696-07:002011-10-02T07:32:40.696-07:00Interesting how women do wear pants more, although...Interesting how women do wear pants more, although skirts are still here.

I find it funny that people tho..."Swish!"<br />I find it funny that people thought we would have 'adaptable' clothing. That would be kind of cool. But instead we have specialized clothing and some people change a lot (business casual clothes, home slobbing out clothes, dressy clothes, gardening clothes, work-out clothes, etc.). I did see some fancy underwear in Peak Sports that claimed to be the last pair of underwear you would ever need to buy!
