Past Predictions About The Future That Weren’t Even Close

It’s always interesting to see how people in different time periods predict the future, because it ends up saying far more about the time period they live in than it does about the years ahead. Even if they get some things right, there are other things that are still undeniably a product of the times, despite how prescient the person thinks they might be. Even Thomas Edison, who helped us move into the future as well as anyone, had some predictions that were still stuck in the past.
