Predictions of the Future, circa 1900
American civil engineer John Elfreth Watkins, Jr. published this set of predictions in that eternal home of futurism, Ladies Home Journal. In it he nails the following:

- Central air conditioning
- Prepared meals
- Color photography and mobile sharing
- The internet
- Speed trains
