well… 24 is kinda true. taping the radio turned into burning cds turned into pirating music which sucks income from lots of bands, musicians, and others involved.

Those bigwig CEO’s of the music industry are forever claiming that some new fad/invention will ‘kill off the music industry. I for one am reminding them that music was there Way before any music industry was invented, and will be there long after the music industry (Hopefully) does crash. Surely there cannot be a worse example of slave contracts and the legitimate ripping off of kids than in the so called ‘Music industry’. long after it’s demise, kids will carry on making good music in their bedrooms etc.

I don’t remember wher nor who said it but someone, sometime said that everything that could be invented has already been invented. That should be on this list.

“# 24 is sort of becoming true. what with blank cd’s, burners, and the internet”

And the music industry is doing perfectly fine.

This gives me hope that something deemed impossible today may actually come to light:

A really cheap energy source available to everyone who can read and follow directions

Faster than Light Travel or FTL information transmission

50 mile per gallon cars (oops … this one already has come true and then some in the last 50 years)

I recall a very clever memoir about growing up in the 1950s that devoted nearly a chapter to the stupid things that they thought they would eventually get; mail delivered via missile, vegetables in sticks, the aforementioned nuclear vacuum.

the Einstein one, number 13, isn’t technically a prediction. it’s a fact.

“There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.” — Albert Einstein, 1932

there WAS no *indication* nuclear energy would ever be obtainable… (to my knowledge) he never said it was IMPOSSIBLE
