In the 1920s, when radio was new (as in "new to most people", just like the Internet was "new" in the 1990s), lots of people predicted that television would be everywhere within five years. That helped build the stock market bubble that burst in 1929. I guess some people just continued to make wild hi-tech predictions all through the 1930s. Eventually TV did come along in the 1940s and was "everywhere" by the mid 1950s or so. Reading radio tech magazines from the 1920s brings such a dejavu of all the crazy Internet predictions from this last decade.
