Who does not know Thomas Alva Edison. U.S. major innovator of this is
the one who found the camera, light bulb, and direct currentpower plant.
In 1911 Edison was interviewed by the Miami Metropolis, andasked to predict how the next 100 years, namely in 2011.
As quoted by the Washington Post, Edison said that in 2011electric power would replace steam power to drive the train. In addition, he also predicts that air travel would be a mode ofeveryday
transportation.
Another thing, Edison also said that the steel will be moreexpensive and this makes it will be a plurality of raw materials forbuilding
construction. All the things he predicted earlier, now it has been proven.
But Edison was the most shocking prophecy is prophecy about adevice similar to an e-book
reader or iPad. "Later, there will be a book that is only two inches thick, but can contain 40 thousandpages, or the equivalent of one hundred volumes of books," saidEdison.
In fact, an e-book reader like the Amazon Kindle can store dataequivalent to approximately 3,500 electronic books.
However, Edison did not guess exactly 100 percent. At that time,Edison also predicts, that now people have found ways to turn ironinto gold.
Therefore, Edison said, humans can 'juggle' a taxi into the gold car.Unfortunately, until now it still can be done by humans.
