Apr 17, 2018 1931 Salt Lake Telegram predicts the future

A 1931 reporter in New York predicted a day when families would reside in “house machines,” researchers would work from rooftop laboratories, and Americans would attend school remotely, via the radio. Automation and robotics were frequent topics in U.S. newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s. In keeping with that tradition, Utah Digital Newspapers is now on Twitter!

“A New Yorker at Large,” reprinted in The Salt Lake Telegram, April 30, 1931, page 4.
