Bad Predictions
"All traffic will be below or high above ground when brought within
city limits. In most cities it will be confined to broad subways or
tunnels, well lighted and well ventilated, or to high trestles with
moving-sidewalk stairways leading to the top. These underground or
overhead streets will teem with automobile passenger coaches and
freight wagons with cushioned wheels. Cities, therefore will be free
from all noises."
- John Watkins, predicting what life would be like in 100 years in the
pages of the Ladies Home Journal, 1900.
