I expected to see a bunch of failed predictions but most of the stuff is surprisingly accurate. I see some commenters remark that these were conservative predictions and that most of the technologies existed in some form in 1922.
But that such incremental advancement is more representative of progress than disruptive changes. I feel the short term disruptive development post WWII has clouded our perception of long term technical progress due to recency bias. I suppose that is why most of the Sci-fi predictions post 1960 feels wildly inaccurate about the current decade than predictions from 100 years ago.
