A newspaper in 1924 predicted what life would be like in 2024 – we're impressed | 330Z808 | 2024-01-27 11:08:01
Method again in 1924, a well-liked development in newspapers was to predict what life would be like in 100 years' time – i.e. at this time.
And surprisingly, some aren't too removed from the reality.&
The typically accurate, typically outlandish clippings have been shared on X by Paul Fairie, a researcher at the University of Calgary.
One which's very recognisable is the town of the longer term.
'Cars travelling on speedways by means of the centre of city', 'ever-moving sidewalks' and 'motorcars growing and multiplying indefinitely' all undoubtedly came true.
Less so is the concept those multiplying automobiles would convey concerning the extinction of the horse.
Last yr, a& YouGov poll& discovered that more than a quarter of people in the UK have tattoos. We reckon this one has come true, because it was anticipated that 'debutantes will dye their skin all the colors of the rainbow', with an expectation that hair would comply with go well with, very similar to a 'Victorian debutante concealed her character beneath voluminous hoops and draperies'.&
And pity those listening to the radio in 1924, when it was fairly uninteresting apparently, because in another prediction, it was stated 'People will snicker at radios'. For 2024, it's not just radio that bringing the LOLs, but in addition podcasts, which continue to soar in reputation.&
One which's just about there is a longer life expectancy, where we might reside to be 100 years previous, and 75 years can be thought-about as young.
Two that undoubtedly came true are blocks of flats which are 100 stories tall, and family albums made from videos as an alternative of pictures.&
A prediction that sadly hasn't hit the mark – 'films will result in world peace' as individuals will establish a brotherhood but Hollywood has not yet completed a common language or eliminated conflict from the civilised world.&
And whereas adorably optimistic, that's far from probably the most outlandish.
A few of the stranger predictions contain beds flinging youngsters away from bed in the morning, individuals hopping from planet to planet as easily as we soar by way of the sky now (we wish), flying garments and males's legs withering away from underuse, Wall-E type.&
Oh, and diamond engagement rings should have misplaced their allure by now, being replaced with lots of of kilos of sugar.
