You'll have a home control room - an electronics centre, where messages will be recorded when you're away from home. This will play back when you return, and also give you up-to-the minute world news, and transcribe your latest mail.

You'll have wall-to-wall global TV, an indoor swimming pool, TV-telephones and room-to-room TV. The status symbol of the year 2000 will be the home computer help, which will help mother tend the children, cook the meals and issue reminders of appointments.

Amazingly they did get somethings right, or came terribly close.

Rocket belts will increase a man's stride to 30 feet,

Unfortunately my rocket belt is at the shop for repairs.

I'll trade you mine for a little more of that Man Zan stuff.

What amazing? There is nothing amazing about it.

Many of those items, like pool, telephones, recorders and TVs were already known.
