"The Future Isn't What it Used To Be"

Yogi Berra made one of the most profound statements on how well the future was conforming to predictions when he said, "the future isn't what it used to be"

People have been predicting the technological miracles and scientific cure-alls (or kill-alls) for about a hundred years now, at least. A very few were right, most were wrong, and many were funny.

For entertainment, and a reminder to take predictions with at least a pinch of salt, Apathetic Lemming of the North presents:

A website, and a blog

• "Tales of Future Past," "...settle on your jetpack, hitch up your blaster, and tune in the videotron as we tour Future Past!"
• "Paleo-Future," A look into the future that never was."
  • Now at a new location: Paleo-Future, paleofuture.com

Individual posts

• "Google as predicted in 1964"
  Web Owls
• "Miracles You’ll See In The Next Fifty Years (Feb, 1950)"
  Modern Mechanix
