Not bad predictions

A friend from DC sent me the following newspaper article from May 1, 1922 - a hundred years ago.

The author, the novelist W.L. George, describes a world in which "commercial flying will have become entirely commonplace," reducing the separation of America and Europe to eight hours, and whose passenger steamers and railroads will have consequently fallen into obsolescence.

 
Some other excerpts:

"Wireless telegraphy and wireless telephones will have crushed the cable system," resulting in generations who’ll never have seen "a wire outlined against the sky." 

 "It may also be that atomic energy will be harnessed."

 "All positions will be open to [women] and a great many women will have risen high. The year 2022 will probably see a large number of women in Congress, a great many on the judicial bench, many in civil service posts, and perhaps some in the President’s Cabinet."
