Of course, in order to get time travellers to come all the way from the future to attend, the events will have to be well publicized.

Back when Burning Man was just a low-key get-together, Survival Research Labs made Killer Robots. Now that the field of weapons development as art has expanded, you could easily find a personal EMP bomb, or a lethal biological pathogen vending machine at your next vernissage or festival. All this, courtesy of the Experimental Interaction Unit.

Since its introduction in 2002, The MDI Air Car has been causing a small stir in the automotive industry. Its engine, for example, is almost entirely fossil fuel free. The design of the car is remarkably similar to the SMART car, or some of the smaller asian models, but they also make a truck, just in case people need to use it outside urban areas. With all the major engineering issues solved, the only major hurdle left for MDI is selling the car. Its expected that their unusual business model might help with that.

The United States government made some pretty heavy-handed Propaganda posters during world war two, but the real crux of the work was in the post-war, Nuclear Era with films like the famous "Duck And Cover". Now you can own them, but wouldn't you rather go to a real live bomb-blast site? If not, you could always just calculate how much damage your home town would receive if it were in one.
