Future Progress

1. What predictions about the future were people making 100 years ago? 50 years ago?  (Find 3-4 articles or discussions to look over.)
2. Determine if the list is a “wish list” – as in, are these things one might hope or wish for in the future, or more or a warning or prediction?
3. Which predictions actually seem to have come true? Which turned out to be bizarre, off-track, or still out of reach?
4. Can you identify any trends or patterns in these predictions? What concerns or achievements do they seem focused on?  For example, do people in general seem to be anticipating a better world?
5. Make at least three specific predictions!
