It seems like all the most accurate predictions were predictions of things that were already happening becoming more prevalent. The factory farms were one example. Increased automation and and use of computers proved correct, as did viewing people as statistics. One child said it'll be more crowded and more people will live in flats, which is completely correct (although I suspect the child was imagining it being worse). While their predictions of "more of the same" were often correct, their predictions about fundamental changes to the way we live were all off-base. Nuclear annihilation, cabbage pills for breakfast, human-like robots, no one having jobs, people living under the sea or in domes on the Sahara... none of these have happened. Instead, many of the biggest changes to our lifestyles revolve around home PCs, the internet, and cell phones. Maybe the lesson is it's easier to be right when predicting that a current trend will continue.
