The 1900 December issue of The Ladies Home Journal published an article by John Elfreth Watkins, Jr. listing some predictions for the year 2000 – exactly a hundred years into the future. A few interesting ones are shortlisted below: Prediction #4 : There Will Be No Street Cars in Our Large Cities. All hurry traffic will be below or high above ground when brought within city limits. In most cities it will be confined to broad subways or tunnels, well lighted and well ventilated, or to high trestles with “moving-sidewalk” stairways leading to the top.

Subways or trestles will be reserved for express trains.  Cities, therefore, will be free from all noises. Prediction #5 : Trains will run two miles a minute, normally; express trains one hundred and fifty miles an hour. To go from New York to San Francisco will take a day and a night by fast express.  T...

With thanks and praise for Bob Dylan, ladies and gentlemen, The Times They Are A-Changing : Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics, who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who that it's namin' For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside and it is ragin' It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-ch...
