A List of Predictions Made in 1924 About 2024

🧵

Beds will automatically fling children out in the morning

A Century Hence SCHOOL LIFE IN 2024 A.D. CRASH! My bed turns over automatically and I am deposited on the floor. It is eight o'clock and the switch, operating the above fiendish substitute for an alarm clock, is operated from school so that, at the moment, I am in the same predicament as the rest of the 450 scholars. After donning my one piece asbestos suit (washing being unnecessary under new atmospheric conditions) I partake of breakfast in tabloid form & step outside in time to catch the 8.10 aerobus & arrive at school two minutes later. The first lesson is English, and... the English ...

Horses will no longer exist

Future of the Horse Another scientists says that the horse is to be extinct, and he sets the date a century hence. The extinction process may be at work, says the Washington Star, but whether the horse will go to the vanishing point in that time one does not know. If horses would decrease in the same ratio as in the last ten years, it might be easy to tell when the last horse would give up his stall to an automobile and pass on to that realm where good horses should go, and perhaps where old Pegasus still rears and canters through the clouds.

A Brief History of Women Today Dress Inappropriately

🧵

2019

Women dress too sexually I am deeply disturbed by the extremely sexualized clothing women are wearing -- the plunging necklines, the tight tops, the tight skirts. The female body is beautiful and artistic even under appropriate clothing gently surrounding the body. To wear extreme clothing that leaves nothing to the imagination is to invite male gawking and sexual desire. I am a feminist for sure, but our gender has succumbed to trends. --Tallahassee Democrat, 25 February 2019

2000

Women dress too sexy in short shorts, see-through tops, bare mid-riffs, halters and tube tops. When Amiel asked 165 executives what their biggest complaint was, the No. 1 answer was: "The women are distracting." --Chicago Tribune, 11 July 2000
