Back to the Future

Miracles
You’ll See in the Next 50 Years

What will the world be like in A.D. 2000? You can read
the answer in your home, in the streets, in the trains and cars that
carry you to your work, in the bargain basement of every department store.
You don’t realize what is happening because it is a piecemeal process.
The jet-propelled plane is one piece, the latest insect killer is another.
Thousands of such pieces are automatically dropping into their places
to form the pattern of tomorrow’s world.
