Almost Right - the Prophecies of John Elfreth Watkins Jr

[ArMaP]

I’m actually amazed at how he was able to foresee the uses of many things that were in development stages.

He wasn't.

This is what he wrote at the star of the article:

To the wisest and most careful men in our greatest institutions of science and learning I have gone, asking each in his turn to forecast for me what, in his opinion, will have been brought in his own filed of investigation before the dawn of 2001 - a century from now. These opinions I have carefully transcribed.

Too bad we don't know who made those predictions.
