"At work, Dad will operate on a 24 hour week. The office will be air-conditioned with stimulating scents and extra oxygen - to give a physical and psychological lift."

If only this came true.

"In commercial transportation, there will be travel at 1000 m.p.h. at a penny a mile. Hypersonic passenger planes, using solid fuels, will reach any part of the world in an hour."

I live between two airports, they are about 10 miles apart from each other. Back in the day they had the idea that the planes of the future would need 10 mile long runways to take off and land, so they had plans to eventually merging the two airports together. Needless to say it hasnt happened, yet.
