Predictions from 1900
This is impressive, apparently Mr. John Watkins wrote an article, “What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years” (easy readable version), asking a number of highly educated and conservative minds to predict what they believe will be in the US at the turn of the century.
What I found most impressive about this list is some of the predictions did indeed come true. While the predictors were off on the details, their general ideas were dead on. Some of them accorded only within the last 30 years. Other predictions, however, still remain pretty far fetched, even with today’s standards.
