2. Looks like he nailed it on some points...
Some of his other points are slowing beginning to happen now if you think about it.

3. 3 or 4 years later, Walter Cronkite was predicting the future
in his television series "The 21st Century". I wonder how many of his predictions came true?

The Sixties were full of future predictions, and some of then were rather unsettling.

4. I'm still pissed......
....my damned Weekly Reader said we would have flying cars by now, in 1967. I think their poor prognosticator foresaw cars flying but misunderstood what he was seeing. They weren't flying, they had stuck gas pedals!
