Hilarious! I love how they predicted that "Grand Opera" would be telephoned to private homes - not many people are streaming "Le Nozze de Figaro" these days. Obviously they didn't foresee Lady Gaga and rap music.

Also, they really seemed excited at the prospect of the average American living to be 50 years old! My mother in law is 80 and I'm not that excited about that. She's probably going to outlive me!

Too bad we never exterminated the mosquito and housefly. That's one prediction I'm really bummed that it didn't come true.

Strawberries as big as apples? No thanks. I'll take them just the size they are, so they can fit on my spoon when I put them in yogurt or ice cream.

Wow, that is a facinating read.
I am glad peas are not the size of beets though.

That’s a VERY cool post! Some of them are spot on; e.g. Man Will See Around The World, and Store Purchases By Tube. The language was still “of the times” but the meaning/intent was completely correct!
