Fascinating Predictions from 1900 about the year 2000
Here are a few of the most interesting to me:
Mosquitoes, house-flies and roaches will have been practically exterminated.
Strawberries as Large as Apples will be eaten by our great-great-grandchildren for their Christmas dinners a hundred years hence.
There will be No C, X or Q in our every-day alphabet. They will be abandoned because unnecessary.
There will be no wild animals except in menageries.
Those are some of the ones that sound ridiculous, but there are actually plenty of others that sound familiar. For instance:
Ready-cooked meals will be bought from establishments similar to our bakeries of today.
Any that you find particularly interesting? Be sure to explain why.
