When did the future start?

Took the girls to the Science Museum in London at the weekend to an exhibition called 'The Birth of High-Tech Britain'.  It was about how Britain capitalised on its war-time industrial strength to develop products for gloomy post-war Britain.  

Dan Dare and Eagle comics were used to illustrate the exhibition in terms of how the future was envisaged and portrayed and just how optimistic post-war Britain was.

Interesting that the only product pic I got was a tape-recorder.  Hmmmm.
