I love this stuff. Here are 29 Predictions for the year 2000 from the December 1900 Ladies Home Journal. Actually, these are surprisingly accurate.

Those are some of the most remarkably accurate predictions I've seen. Not completely on-target, but more right than wrong.

I was pretty suspicious of those predictions. There were some off-notes and overall too much accuracy to be believable. Given the role that university played at the time, mentioning that it is free doesn't seem like it would have been worthy of predicting without also predicting why that would be significant. And predicting airships used as weapons seems unlikely given that the Wright Bros. didn't fly til 1903 and air travel only progressed at the speed it did due to 2 world wars, which weren't part of the predictions. Since it states its source, it should be possible to verify.
