In 1901 the 'Ladies Home Journal' published an article describing the advances predicted to happen in the next hundred years. Flying ships, x-rays, enormous strawberries - the success rate is surprisingly high.

But I can imagine it could be predicted. 1901 the knew the new telephone and the telegraph was old tech. There was the postal mail and I believe also then there where strict laws protecting the confedelisaly of letters. The nature of human behavior is a constant. - "People will be able to send messages very fast to the orient and back by means of many erected signal towers around the globe. Private enterprises will sell the means to keep those messages private like it now common to secure a letter from tampering with a wax seal."

Some of this stuff was pretty uncanny. They basically predicted the whole internet/network thing and a number of other technical innovations. Their main unrealistic optimism lies in how easy it is to tame nature. The whole 'we'll get rid of all the annoying flying bugs'-thing showed that we clearly hadn't quite figured out the whole 'everything is connected' aspect of the biosphere. Otherwise, not a million miles off I'd say.

It's quite amazing how they really did predict some things very closely to the actual results: •rockets, •bullet trains •the shortened type of communication that we see in not only texting but even in memes, •our submarines being so deadly •the ability to show pictures taken on one side of the world within minutes being shown in the news (though they missed the live feed) •breeding of cattle with no horns (a few of them) •breeding of extra-fast-growing & extra large food animals - we have meat birds like the Cornish Cross chickens and a few breeds of turkeys pretty close to them! •telephoning the other side of the world •free school, even college (okay, not college in the US, yet) and transport to school (school buses) •greenhouses being heated •central air and heat (though not exactly by taps) •ways doctors can peer into the body (sonograms, x-rays, CT scans, etc) Really, they did pretty good with a LOT of them! Wish they'd been right with the quiet cities, LOL, and a few others, but still - I salute them!

I think many of the predictions that people are saying they got "wrong" are only wrong about details, like we can indeed have strawberries for Christmas, though they may be frozen; we may not use pneumatic tubes, but we certainly do shop and have packages delivered straight to our homes. The horse may not be nearly extinct, but we certainly have a lot fewer than in 1900, and they are raised by wealthier folk for sport. If you look at the lifestyle they envisioned, they weren't that far off in many ways. The devil is always in the details, but looking at the broad strokes, they got more right than we might have expected.

@@DensetsuVII: College has become a form of gatekeeping. You have to go through "the system" in order to be considered acceptable to the overwhelmingly leftist HR depts across the country. Really think about this: Have jobs changed _that_ much since the 1950s, that they require a degree? Secretarial jobs require them now, for crying out loud! And it would be very easy to adjust curriculums to add opportunities to earn certificates in fields like coding, no different than offering AP classes for college credit. That's why they "teach to the test" nowadays. Not too long ago, high school prepared you to enter the real world. Today, it is almost entirely focused on getting into college. It's why so many college students are clueless about so many things. They've had little to no grounding in the real world.

@Lbot beenthere That is where you have strict requirements for child-bearing permits (post-high school education, acceptable median income over a period of years, criminal background check, and credit check), in addition to the cost to create a baby, because males will all have vasectomies at birth that will have to be reversed, only in approved medical facilities. No doctor will dare do this on the side, at the risk of imprisonment and losing the license to practice. So no more accidents, multiple baby daddies, paternity tests, etc. You ain't having a baby unless you really want and one and have valid reasons. Two is the absolute limit (two girls--too bad) unless one child is hopelessly disabled and has no chance of living independently. That'd be the ideal future, IMO.

IOW, cheating, to make the assumed 1901 dead-accurate predictions come out properly for 2001, modified by a slight haze of imprecision. It's predictions for 2001, written to sound like 1901, but in 2020. You'd have plenty of history to make sure your faux 1901 and 2001 tracked to the desired degree, based on 2020 facts. 100% accurate, without even a single major howler to include, just to make your predictions sound just a bit more human by being a tiny bit imperfect.

Just to clarify, the “50 years versus 35 years” lifespan includes high child mortality, and is not a literal human lifespan. Throughout most of history, if an individual lived past 6 years, he would likely survive into his 60s, barring violence, disease, or accident.

Must remove "barring disease" as an exception. Few people die of old age in their 60s and very few children die at a young age except for diseases, then or now. So, I do not agree with what you said. The average person born in 1880 (would be 21 in 1901) would likely live into their mid-50s, or less. That is average. If you do not count those who die before 6 years old, the average will be higher and yes, that average might be close to 60. Now, the averages will be higher, yes.
@TheNinetySecond
@TheNinetySecond 3 года назад
Which is also the reason why old historical individuals weren't these ancient über-mensch, living three times as long as everybody else at the time. As you say, those that survived lived at least beyond 50. Incidentally, this dynamic was also the reason why children weren't nearly as precious as they are today. If most of your kids had a 50/50 chance of making it past the age of five, it makes a lot more sense to invest in your grown kids, and having a lot more, so that you're ultimately left with at least two grown kids who can take care of you in your old age. Whenever people bring up "human nature", I like to ask them whether they think it's human nature to be as fiercely protective of our children as we are. Sometimes things _feel_ natural and morally unambiguous, when it's really just a product of our time and society.

I saw one of the drawings on the Internet. It was so quaint. The child depicted people in flying cars. The flying cars were elevated by a large box kite on each end of the sausage-shaped air car. One such aerial car of the future showed a late middle aged contented couple in the front seat. Both were dressed in 1900 clothing.

To anyone familiar with physics at the time it would not be too difficult to explain.

This knowledge was adapted to both civilian and military use, allowing both singular bombs with the power to destroy whole cities, and energy production of a scale greater than any other in history.

The 24/7/365 continuous news cycle precludes it. There's so much competition to be first, they don't have time to verify their sources. Their audiences don't hold them accountable for spreading overt lies and the abject rumormongering, so we're sort of complicit as a society. We don't even hold them accountable if they fail to correct or retract false stories later - because we collectively have the attention span of a gnat and keep getting distracted by the next flashy thing or consumed by the next faux crisis. People still keep trusting untrustworthy people, so we get more of them while the demand for trustworthy sources decreases.
