Such was his knowledge that he predicted such an important phenomenon such a long time ago. Scientists have affirmed that this is indeed happening. And this is bad news for all of us as we won't be protected by the harmful space radiation!

He wrote an article outlining the things he thought would happen in the coming 100 years. He said, "Photographs will be telegraphed from any distance. If there be a battle in China a hundred years hence, snapshots of its most striking events will be published in the newspapers an hour later.... photographs will reproduce all of nature's colours." and, "Man will see around the world. Persons and things of all kinds will be brought within focus of cameras connected electrically with screens at opposite ends of circuits, thousands of miles at a span." For the mobile phones he said, “Wireless telephone and telegraph circuits will span the world. A husband in the middle of the Atlantic will be able to converse with his wife sitting in her boudoir in Chicago. We will be able to telephone to China quite as readily as we now talk from New York to Brooklyn.” 

The first world war officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed. French Marshal Ferdinand Foch said that, "This is not peace. It is an armistice for twenty years". And we all know when the second world war started. Yep, that's right. It started in 1939. 

Their point of departure is different and their paths diverse; nevertheless, each seems called by some secret desire of Providence one day to hold in its hands the destinies of half the world,", this was written by Alexis de Tocqueville in 1840. And this sure did come true!

Decades before it became commonplace, futurists predicted moving images transmitted across distances for communication and entertainment. The eventual rise of television, video calls, and online streaming fulfilled what once sounded like science fiction.

This was predicted by Roger Ebert in 1987. He said,“We will have high-definition, wide-screen television sets and a push-button dialing system to order the movie you want at the time you want it. You’ll not go to a video store but instead order a movie on demand and then pay for it. Videocassette tapes as we know them now will be obsolete both for showing prerecorded movies and for recording movies. " . He said this when the Omni magazine interviewed him.
