A LOOK BACK

This issue’s "A Look Back,"is a continuation from the last issue and goes back to 1967, and The Cryonics Society of New York (CSNY.) This is the introduction to "PROSPECTIVES" in CRYONICS REPORTS, their monthly newsletter. The speculation is about the likelihood of specific technological innovations occurring in the next 33 years.(to the year 2000) This issue contains the last six of 25 "very probable" innovations to occur. The best we can make out, not one of the advances has occurred, and this is 38 years later. A google search for The Hudson Institute gave us this: An internationally recognized think tank and public policy research organization that forecasts trends and develops solutions for governments, businesses. Well, they they didn’t anticipate the internet either!
