Predictions about the year 2000, from 1900

Some of them seem anachronistic to 1900, and there's no reference on the page to support the claim of the list bein a century old, but it's interesting regardless.

I believe the life expectancy in 1900 was somewhat greater than thirty-five, for one thing.

Yep.. it WAS 50 (48.23). Reference from somewhere I'm not entirely sure of the credibility on, but this seems right...

Awesome graph here of life expectancy from 1900 - 1960.
