Historical archives have found what people in 1923 thought life in 2023 would be like - with women wearing trousers, playing tennis and running all the businesses. Men, on the other hand, should by now all be working from home and just doing four hours work a day.
Cars are supposed to be obsolete by now, tennis is supposed to be really popular and all our work should be being done by 'forces'.
Findmypast and the British Newspaper Archive have released research that reveals what people 100 years ago thought life was going to be like in 2023. Among the archives is an article reporting on elementary schoolgirls at Wood Green, London, who were asked to write an essay on what life for women will be like in 2023.
