Advances for the Year 2000! I Can't Wait!

In this article from the December 31, 1967 Tulsa World, we'll learn what "the experts" say will have come about in that fabled Year of the Future, AD 2000.

SUCCESSFUL FORECASTS:

• #11, regarding high-altitude cameras, is a good projection of car/phone GPS, and services like Google Earth
• #20, 3-D printing
• #30, pervasive surveillance
• #33 "educational" propaganda -- FB anyone?
• #38 birth control (though abstinence still works!)
• #68, recoverable rocket boosters
• #70, home video recording and playing
• #72, video chats
• #76, internet search engines

FAILURES in PREDICTION:

• #15, protecting the environment
• #16, weight control
• #48, "physically nonharmful methods of overindulging" -- hah!

Please continue to investigate the list yourself.  Have fun -- see you next year!

See you Thursday!
