1. The majority of the predictions were luxury items, and items that deal more with convenience rather than necessity. Some of these things include video phones, cruise ships, building styles, smart watches, and even civilization on space.
2. These things that people were wishing for are definitely on a wishlist, and from the sources I looked at, they were rarely worried about the consequences of this future advancement. People saying more of "I wish I could live on the moon" rather than saying "I'm concerned for the dangers of space exploration.
3. While some of the predictions were a bit far fetched, some were spot on. The ones that I found to be right were primarily building designs. People as far back as the 1960's were envisioning the white, clean based design of the future, filled with solid bright colors and glass. Others predicted things like that tomatoes were going to be grown in a cube shape rather than a sphere as they actually are.
4. One trend that I've seen is the advancement of mass production. People are pulling insane predictions from the fact that mass production is growing. The thought that tomatoes will be cube comes from the idea that they will be mechanically produced rather than grown, and are genetically enhanced to be in a cube shape. People, mainly after the moon landing in 1969, were saying that the amass of space travel will lead to the ability to create civilizations in space.
5. I believe that, with all the advancements that organizations like NASA are making, time travel will be a thing, but it will be made an immediate secret by the government and no one will ever know about it until 100 years after time travel is established.
