This is the Future - a Century Ago

"What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years"
(There's a facsimile of the John Elfreth Watkins, Jr., article in a link from another URL, a blog post: "What May Happen in the Next Hundred Years (Ladies Home Journal, 1900).")

"Futurists" and their progenitors have been around for a long time. Here's a look at the The Future that we're living in, seen from about a century back.

Some predictions didn't happen.
  • No wild animals, except in menageries
  • Life expectancy extended to an unlikely 50 years
Others did
  • Telephones around the world
  • Trains running 150 miles an hour
I don't think the "Ladies Home Journal" author thought the speedy trains would be called shinkansen.
UPDATE: December 7, 2007. I corrected an error in this post's link: and added another. Sorry about the bungled link.

Um, Dad? The link just takes me back to Apathetic Lemming.

Might want to fix that.

Перечень действий, ориентированных на предвидение линии жизни, называется хиромантия. Гадание на крещение на суженого - это простейший способ узнать судьбу с применением разных вещей и средств. Сверхъестественные силы и различные варианты ворожбы учеными не доказаны, но все же различные люди верят в это. Возникновение Таро обрамлено пологом тайны, поскольку на сто процентов ни один человек не в курсе, откуда они пришли. Старые карты сопровождали людское общество в период основной истории. Ходят слухи, что карты Таро впервые возникли аж в Древнем Египте.
