Is this really what "people in 1900" thought? It looks to me (and the article says so) that it is what artists thought. Although interesting, I think it is worth noting that most artists are not technologists today, presumably weren't in 1900, and so can't really represent the best, or even in general (as the general public don't consist of mostly artists), of what we think about what the future holds.
