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!
