Re: 22 Pictures That Prove That 2014 Is The Damn Future

Amazing isn't it. I'm still trying to keep up with the new tech. "Back in the day", there were no Windows; my first encounter with a computer was a IBM clone, and it used DOS, keyboard entry, no mouse.

The innovations shown are just so clever! Huge advances have been made in technology over a seemingly short space of time.

I've gone all nostalgic now.

Wow. Not been aware of some of them for sure, and the bionic limbs really work amazingly well now don't they.

The glass in this toilet would worry me too. Outside it's mirrored and you can't see inside. On the inside it's transparent, so you can see everything outside. I'd just be worried it was a practical joke and that closing the door would let people on the outside see inside.

View from outside

View from inside

PS: I tried to show these in the post but the IMG function didn't do anything.

Love seeing trickery used in filming, even if it does spoil it for me, but I'm interested in how it's done.
