A peek into the future

Of all the predictions made during the future-happy 1950s – when it was declared we’d soon have flying cars, robot butlers, rocket-delivered mail and food made from wood pulp – there was one forward-looking statement that was completely validated.

It was delivered by Criswell, a self-described soothsayer and TV personality, who said, “We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.”

Otherwise, predicting the future, certainly in the realm of technology, is a risky endeavor.
