What the World Would Look Like in 2000: Predictions from 1900

Predictions for the Next 100 Years in 1900

I thought this was a pretty cool piece of writing for over 100 years ago now. The amazing thing is that much of this was right on the money at least in conceptual forms. The only unfortunate thing that isn't true yet is that coal still seems to be a prime source of fuel for electricity production. I amazed that there were not more outlandish predictions in this piece but I think that is the difference between the "Back to the Future" mentality and what most people thought as probable.
