Magazines of the Future

Posted on August 1, 2005

Magazine Publishers of America has an interesting advertisement that offers a look at what magazine covers from some of the most popular magazines might look like. This advertisement may be an attempt to promote the longevity of magazines at a time when print is in danger of being replaced by digital technology -- however there should still be digital versions of magazines.

Some of the futuristic covers include things like Pluto vacations, a youthful looking 100-year-old woman, telepathic discipline, moonwalking workouts, dermal ceramics, gardening with gravity, androids, see-thru vehicles, the clone of Jesus and California after the big one. The message on the front of the advertisement is disturbing:

In the future, ads will pop up in our cereal bowls
Our dreams will be interrupted by commercials
But we'll still look to magazines when we don't want to be found.
