Future Research

1. People were predicting pretty good things such as flying cars, ready cooked meals, and communicating through video chat. Some things were bad such as overpopulation in Boston which had predicted Boston's population to be 5 million people alone in the city. Another Prediction from "Ladies home Journal" said that wild animals would no longer exist and that people must walk 10 miles whenever they need to and if they can't then they will be considered a weakling. 
2. Some things are a wish list and some are warnings, more are wish list though. I'd say 75% wish list items and 25% warning. 
3. The 10 mile walking was bizarre and is kinda funny since Obesity is still an issue. Store Purchases getting to the person by a set of tubes and being delivered is not too far off in a way since you can order groceries and other things through your phone and they'll bring it to you. One of the one's that was right was that we would communicate through video chatting which we already do through things like Skype. 
4. People seem to be focused on a better world with a heavier reliance on Technology as a whole, which they weren't too far off on that. 

I see a world with Holographic phones, Another big war sometime in the future where the population will be reduced.
