1. Most of what I found had to do with technological advancements however Mark Twain predicted his own death which was pretty interesting
2. For most of these predictions they were wish-lists however with the book 1984 it was more of a warning on societal advancement on law enforcement
3. All of what I found had some truth to it, or at least a piece of the prediction ended up being a reality, and Mark Twain's prediction of his death and only being a day off was probably the most bizarre
4. Most of these predictions seemed to be based off improvements to things that had just been discovered, for instance With the Night Mail was a sci-fi book that predicted the improvements of the airplane, invented by the wright brothers only 2 years earlier, as a way to mass transport goods and packages.
5. One of my big predictions is that in approximately 80 years from now we will have proved all of Einstein's predictions of the universe as being true or false, with all or nearly all of them to be true.
