I know I visited this topic already recently, still I am fascinated by all that has (and has not) changed during my short tenure on the planet.I encourage you to check out this link: www.pixelmatic.com.au/2000
The page contains excerpts from July 22, 1961, Weekend Magazine explaining what life will be like in the year 2000. Below are some highlights:
- By the year 2020, five per cent of the world's population will have emigrated into space. Many will have visited the moon and beyond.
- There will be moving plastic-covered pavements, individual hoppicopters, and 200 m.p.h. monorail trains operating in all large cities.
- At work, Dad will operate on a 24 hour week. The office will be air-conditioned with stimulating scents and extra oxygen - to give a physical and psychological lift.
