1900's previsions on how will people live in 2000

It's interesting how accurate a lot of this stuff is. Usualy these old future predicions are full of crap. They must have asked some serious scientists.

I can write a book too what will happen with you in the next five days

you will post in mapcore

did i predicted it?

I can do that too Nexus, and I predict I’ll be wearing your skin as a casual jacket.

that's becoming quite fashionable

here check it out.

This is a genuine copy of this book, photo taken in a library somewhere in the states. http://www.drexlermusic.com/temp/lhj1900-12p8.jpg

Some of the most impressive topics:

uhm, it's wrong on so many issues... for example flies and musquito's haven't been exterminated on the contrary, in many parts of the world there are a lot more of them buggers than a hundred years ago. Aircrafts are everywhere and more used for freight and passengers than for combat.

It's correct for a 50%, do the same today and I'm sure it will be somewhere near the same accuracy on a technological side. Advancements will be mostly biomechanical. How the world will look in another 100 years in less a question of technology but one of society and the enviroment.

Indeed. If we still go on like we did in the past 20 years, ignoring all the indicators, we won't exist any longer
