Popular Mechanics, 1950:


"Because everything in her home is waterproof, the housewife of 2000 can do her daily cleaning with a hose".

Truly, Everything Is On The Web. Here's a scanned copy of
the whole article (http://www.hepcatwilly.com/uploads/media/Miracles2000.pdf) to tide you over.

Now, OK, it might still be a spoof from the 1950's... but it's worth reading anyway. Food from sawdust! Personal helicopters! Incinerate the tablecloths and hose down the bedsheets! Run used plastic tableware under a hot tap and it'll dissolve and run away down the sink!

That's fantastic - as Language Log was presumably pointing out, one does wonder what Jane was doing in between the minute she spent hosing the house each morning and the two and a half minutes she spent zapping the frozen food at night...one can only guess.
I liked the LOL of 2000 having people comment on her queerness as well.
