When I was a kid, about 7 or 8, I found a stash of my dad's magazines from the mid '50's. They were Popular Mechanics and Mechanics Illustrated....Pop Mechanics is still with us. I just devoured them. They would have articles on cars, road tests, new products, how to's and every so often they would have an article predicting what life would be likes in the 2000's.
I recall one article that indicated we would all be driving/flying....a Flying Car. Traffic jams on the roads would be a thing of the past....although when you think about....the skies would be pretty crowded with all those people flying their Flying Cars.
I came across this article from Popular Mechanics. It was written in 2010 and discusses some predictions that were made about how society would live...what convenience features were thought to be coming in the future, etc. The predictions were made in the past century...some of them 100 or so years before the 2010 article.
I found it interesting to read about what was expected, what came true and what hasn't reached fruition as of this time.
