100 year old predictions

So, The Ladies Home Journal got a bunch of scientists together in 1900 and they predicted the future.

And the funny thing is, they got a lot right. They foresaw the internet, sort of. They see the end of horses and the rise of the car.

And they're completely wrong about biology. Somehow, they had a panel of telegraph scientists and transportation analysts who nailed it, and a crazy, pie-in-the-sky flying car biologist who thought we'd do things that sound impossible still.

And of course, since it's before the invention of the airplane, it's all about blimps.
