Things I was Reliably Informed Would Happen "Soon" ...

1.  An ice age, ca. 1975 or so.
2.  Flying cars.
3.  The USSR would cause the USA to dissolve into separate countries.
4.  We'd have plenty of supersonic transports for regular folks.
5.  We'd have colonies on Mars by now.
6.  Our electricity would come from limitless nuclear fusion and would be free.
7.  Climate change would flood much of Florida.
8.  We'd be out of oil, save for dribs and drabs recovered at great cost.
9. Gasoline would be $10 a gallon
10.  The USA would be on the metric system.

And when I was in 9th grade, I was pitching and my catcher told me if I struck out the next batter, Betty Lou Rotchencrotch would have sex with me.

Jesus is coming, soon. 
Some kind of terrible disease will wipe out 99% of humanity.
Nuclear war. 
We'd run out of food.
Peak oil-it would become very expensive. 
A supercomputer that you could fit in your pocket.
Television would combine with telephone.
Massive rotating space stations.
Mars colonies. 
Cars that drive themselves. 
Democracy in China.

That (insert any election here) is the most important election of our lifetimes.

That we'll stay in touch.

That we'll all ever get along.  We're actually really good on this, but there will always be outliers.

If there's one guy to blame for parroting this more than anybody else—



For as much as he repeats himself at least he never botches the phrasing—

I was reliably told by numerous grade school teachers, particularly my 8th and 9th grade English Composition teachers, that "in the real world there's no such thing as late work," as they reluctantly let us turn in late assignments with a 5% markdown. Fast forward to now and just about all of my contractors and their subcontractors submit multiple requests for contract extensions during their contract performance periods. When I deny (most of) these requests, they have no shame finishing late anyway, and work continues after the contract ends. So much for no such thing as late work in the real world, Mrs Warren and Mr Sumner.
