I think this video is a real possibility in
... years

These predictions about what life would be like in the year 2000 were made by people in the early 1900s. 

Disussion

which of the following preditions came true?

in what way?

We will be a society of physical specimens

We’ll slaughter all the horses.

Students will learn from special headpieces.

We’ll send photos over long distances.

Telephones will be able to call around the world.

People will use Skype-like communications.

We will create genetically engineered food.

Everyone will have a personal aircraft.

 Transportation was clearly very important to people 100 years ago. We have already achieved air travel (although we haven’t seen much yet in terms of the personal aircraft). What achievements in transportation do you think we will make in the next 100 years?

Perhaps the most accurate early 20th-century predictions made about the year 2000 were in the area of communications. Currently we can, in fact, send photos over long distances, make telephone calls over any distance, and use “correspondence cinema” (what we now call videoconferencing). Where do you think communication technology will go in the future?
