The general details of that German illustration – Zippered "casual" clothing, portable "phones" with video – Are pretty spot on, if not the styles.

And the Viewmaster style car navigation device is actually quite neat. Outpaced by computer tech, of course, but still, it'd be handy in areas without network or satellite coverage.
