Summary

Here’s a question: what do you want the future to look like? Personally, I’m hoping for instant teleportation, hoverboards, and free chocolate for all by 2050! Sounds like a bit of a stretch, I know, but it’s nothing compared to what people over 100 years ago thought life would be like today! From robotic helpers and super schools, to flying fireman, some of the predictions are hilarious, but others are surprisingly accurate! Well, it’s time to separate the science facts from the science fiction, as we explore what people in the past thought we’d be doing today!
