An article by engineer John Elfreth Watkins Jr. published in 'The Ladies' Home Journal' in 1900 listed a number of predictions for the next 100 years. 

'What may happen in the next hundred years' guessed at what the world would look like in the year 2000. While some of the predictions were too optimistic and somewhat unrealistic, others were eerily accurate. 

Curious? Browse through the gallery and find out which predictions came true, and which didn't.
