predicting the future

What kind of things do we dream of in our futures? What will come true?

Here's a little compilation that originally ran in Ladie's Home Journal in 1900.

It's equally interesting and amazing what they had right and what they had wrong.

  • That's great!!
    Some of those predictions really showed the political and social environment, and it's very cool to realize that unilateral progress has been made (I think everyone recognizes that the extermination of any species and remittance of everything wild to menageries is WRONG). Thanks for the perusal of the past!!

  • I hadn't thought about the political environment, but you're right.

    I thought it was interesting how they thought subways would rule the cities, and no one would drive. If that had come true, we'd have a much healthier environment today. And not be spending $3/gallon on gas.
