Future vision from 1895: hydropower and veganism

On November 29, 1895, an article by the author Dr. Ludwig Karell (1858-1930). From today's perspective, his visions of the future are partly utopian, some things have become reality much faster than expected.

Karell writes, for example: "For the lighting, the forces of the waterfalls were used, which rushed many kilometers from the city." The “world telephone” would make online events possible in around 5.000 years: “If someone does not approve of the theater play staged in Chicago, it only takes a small switch to immediately transport them into the interior of Asia and the Bajaderen of a festival To make Ceylon or Calcutta appear before his eyes. "

For me personally, the image of meat consumption, not as a symbol of the richly laid table, but as a disgusting affair: “The men and women no longer devoured pieces of unclean animals, but rather processed them in delicious drinks, in fruits, in cakes and lozenges Mouth the basic substances necessary for the restoration of the organic tissue. One was relieved of the need to chew meat masses. " From the point of view of that time, this would be the case in about 30.000 years.
