Predictions for the future (from 1961)

Here are some predictions for the year 2000 made in 1961. They were quite optimistic and many really are funny. I really like this one; "At work, Dad will operate on a 24 hour week. The office will be air-conditioned with stimulating scents and extra oxygen - to give a physical and psychological lift."

Here is another good one; "The family car will be soundless, vibrationless and self-propelled thermostatically. The engine will be smaller than a typewriter. Cars will travel overland on an 18 inch air cushion."

What do you think. Will we have all this by the year 3000, since we obviously did not make it by 2000?

Of course there may be a problem with this. The Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21 (Winter Solstice), 2012... maybe we will not make it that far.
