5 tech predictions from 1968 that were dead-on (and 5 that were completely nuts)


5 tech predictions from 1968 that were dead-on (and 5 that were completely nuts): "40 years ago, science fiction writer James R. Berry predicted what the future would look like on November 18th, 2008 — today. His piece for a 1968 issue of Mechanix Illustrated, '40 Years in the Future,' made some impressive guesses, from flat-screen televisions to video conferencing. He also made a few understandable missteps: pollution-free air in cities, house paint that's always pristine, and — pardon me, ladies — the idea that women would still do little more than use a computer to plan recipes."
