BEYOND THE 20th CENTURY

Predictions about life in the future are as old as mankind. Science fiction books and films arestories based on predictions about life in the future.Some predictions, however, proved very wrong. In 1948, for instance, a radio expert predicted

that TV would not last. Life magazine predicted that by 1970, families would replace their cars withhelicopters!
