LIFE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.
It will be a vastly different world in a hundred years’ time. Here are some of the possibilities which Lord Birkenhead foresees:— Limitless motive power—6oo horsepower in a fountain-pen reservoir. Stereoscopic television in natural colours—a Test match in Australia seeD with perfect clearness in London. Parliamentary debates heard by everybody, ending in a “national vote” by all the "electors within twenty minutes, like a Parliamentary “division.” Disease practically abolished. Agriculture superseded by food made by chemists. Every town self-feeding. Beefsteak grown by the ton in laboratories. Synthetic bread, sugar, and vegetables cheaper than water. One week’s work to three weeks' leisure for all.
