Sheryl NussbaumBeach popped this into Twitter. A prediction from 40 years
ago:

Some of it is spot on. I was particularly taken with this:

*People have more time for leisure activities in the year 2008. The average
work day is about four hours. But the extra time isn't totally free. The
pace of technological advance is such that a certain amount of a jobholder's
spare time is used in keeping up with the new developments—on the average,
about two hours of home study a day.

*which clearly isn't spot on but a great idea.
