In the early 1900s, Ladies Home Journal thought the future would bring a lot of things. The predictions sound funny and old timey, sure, but you know what? Even though we haven’t eradicated flies and mosquitos (yet!), a lot of them came true.
Including these five:
- Hot and cold air from spigots: Suck it, past. Warm baths are a thing now.
- There will be air-ships: Ever heard of planes?
- To England in two days: Speaking of planes, try seven hours or less.
- Trains will go 150 miles per hour (240km/h): Yup, Japan’s Shinkansen goes up to 300km/h.
- Telephones around the world: The internet would have blown the minds of the Ladies Home Journal
Here’s hoping we can cross a few more off the list by 2112. [BuzzFeed]
