Is this for real?

Especially about the wireless part.

To be fair, some of this is accurate. The giant fruit, though, he lost me there.

the accurate stuff was neat, rare but neat.

lol fat useless horses and mass world wide animal extinction in under a hundred years

I think giant fruit is possible today, but who would eat it? Genetically altered fruit X[

"Strawberries as Large as Apples"

Don't forget the fancy hats; "Raul, sweaty."

Any way the article was surprisingly accurate but some part were way off but lets face it people are generally not going to predict 'In the future we will be a bunch of lethargic fatties' or 'Due to the deterioration of many traditional institutions the birth rate will plummet and that combined with social conditions will mean that the U.S. will slowly become part of Mexico and Europe will rapidly become part of the Middle East'.

The bit about animals was off even with all the extinctions lately.
