Well that all KINDA came true... In one way or another. My couch and chair are water-resistant. There are some pretty cheap plates out there that will melt when washed in hot water. And... Well, they even said "Cancer will not be curable in 2000".... Pretty realistic, for a futuristic article.
The best way of visualizing the new world of A.D. 2000 is to introduce you to the Dobsons, who live in Tottenville, a hypothetical metropolitan suburb of 100,000. There are parks and playgrounds and green open spaces not only around detached houses but also around apartment houses. The heart of the town is the airport. Surrounding it are business houses, factories and hotels. In concentric circles beyond these lie the residential districts.
Tottenville is as clean as a whistle and quiet. It is a crime to burn raw coal and pollute air with smoke and soot. In the homes electricity is used to warm walls and to cook. Factories all burn gas, which is generated in sealed mines. The tars are removed and sold to the chemical industry for their values, and the gas thus laundered is piped to a thousand communities.
yea right... they should have called the town junkieasylumseekerville they would have been nearer the mark.......
