What do you want in 2055?

Most of these things we already have, and the readers of Modern Mechanix seem to have been better at guessing what was possible than a lot of futurologsts. I like the man who says he wants a decent raincoat, for when we are 'outside the roofed-over towns'. I think he's taking the mickey.

Some are rather scary - such as the machine that projects everyone's thoughts. But at least the 10 second 'ultrasonic shower' allowed the magazine's editors to get a naked women in. She then gets a slug of booze from an automatic booze dispenser.
