Topic: Futurism in the 1920s

A look at some ideas of how in the 1920s the then future would/might look.

As far as I have noticed thus far, nothing about computers and the internet sort of things. Are they sort of looking-back-from-now-retrospectively-implied by the things that are shown? Sort of like a reverse Columbus Egg sort of thing?

It is interesting as to what has happened, what has not happened, and what, like robots, is not how then envisaged but some things have been achieved in different ways. For example the looks almost real robot receptionists that now exist, contrasted with the then envisioned large clearly mechanical robots.
