Artifacts From the Future: Fridge Display Forecasts Apocalypse, Mold

Here's our vision of what a typical fridge might look like a few days before Thanksgiving in 2020. We imagined what new capabilities a fridge might have by then, and made some subtle changes to many pieces of bric-a-brac that you might find on a present-day icebox.

We'll continue to create a new Artifacts from the Future in upcoming issues of Wired magazine. But we'd like to see your prognostications too. What do you think our world will look like in 10, 20 or 100 years? Each month, we'll propose a scenario. Then it's up you: Sketch out your vision, then return here to upload your ideas, see other submissions and vote for your favorites. Check out this month's Office Cubicle of the Future challenge.

The concept and most of the text for this Found came from writer Steven Leckart. Contributing Wired magazine designer Walter Baumann, photo assistants Sarah Filippi and Daniel Salo, deputy photo editor Anna Goldman Alexander, Senior Editor Chris Baker and production director Jeff Lysgaard helped create the image.
