Predictions About The Year 2000

The following is taken from a Ladies Home Journal from December of the year 1900. It's title says it all, "What May Happen in the Next 100 Years." You can either click to enlarge the image or read the list here.



I think my favorites are:

• No mosquitoes or flies
• Peas as large as Beets (Dwight Schrute would be proud)
• There will be no letters C, X, or Q
• There will be no wild animals except in menageries (zoo's).

There were some pretty accurate ones though as well. One thing they didn't predict is how much there publication changed in 100 years. :)

It makes me wonder what we think will happen by the year 2100 and what actually does.
