Have you read the predictions for 2112? Some of them are quite optimistic like the telekinesis one

[Mystic Mock]

He predicted quite well considering the time period he predicted this in.

Because the population is growing at a slower rate than it was a century ago, according to the article the population of the US would be at 1 billion right now if it was still growing at the same rate as a hundred yeas ago

3. Mobile phones

"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."

International phone calls were unheard of in Watkins' day. It was another 15 years before the first call was made, by Alexander Bell, even from one coast of the US to the other. The idea of wireless telephony was truly revolutionary

...bet he's thrilled to bits about that

in 100 years we'll all be speaking chinese and realize that we need a strong communist government to control us.
