Popular Mechanics, 1950:


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

surely no-one could seriously suggest this. Electricity alone would rule this out, wouldn't it? Or are they thinking of waterproof plug sockets?

Waterproof plug sockets, Plastic books, why not? Looks like the typical approach of an engineer - simplify the problem until a technical solution is possible. I think it's tongue in cheek though. Waterproof underwear you'd want to wear and waterproof food might proove just a touch of a challenge.

I can see you have given this a lot of thought :-)
