LOL at walking ten miles. Way to go Americans, we really screwed up on that one!

They also failed to predict television, though came close by the telegraph at any distance. Given this revelation, it wouldn't have been hard to figure out the ten mile thing would never happen lol.

they did predict television. there's a paragraph about cameras connected to screens on the other side of the world...

Yeah, but not really what they expected. In fact, even in early television people were fit. Nobody realized how deadly tvs would eventually be even when they were in early use lol
