It was right there with flying cars and domed cities on the moon. That was part of the whole Disneyworld/OMNI Magazine promise about life in the year 2000.

    Lots of these predictions were actually quite horrible. e.g. flying cars would be so much worse than regular cars in so many ways.

      Yep. Imagine a flying car breaking down or crashing mid-air. All the passengers dead and possibly people on the ground too.

      Yep, how to make predictions about the Future™:

      1. Find something that offers a mild advantage, but we don’t do, because of the massive disadvantages that come with it.
      2. Claim that those disadvantages have been eliminated, because it’s the Future™.
