Wey’s Predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n

(He’s been wrong about everything else!)<\/em><\/p>\n

We’ll be hearing more about “Professor” Archibald Montgomery Low.\u00a0 A pioneer in many fields (radio guidance systems, guided rockets, torpedo boats), he often led the way for others, but a chronic lack of discipline hobbled his ability to see a project through (he was easily distracted by new ideas).\u00a0 Low’s use of the title “professor” turned off his contemporaries, since he wasn’t entitled to it–he didn’t occupy an academic chair.\u00a0 His love of publicity didn’t score him any points either.\u00a0 Low’s own predictions include radio, alarm clocks, private radio sets, escalators, television and telephones that would automatically dial remembered numbers.\u00a0 He also foresaw women wearing trousers as becoming normal wear.\u00a0 He had less accurate predictions too (don’t we all–see my own articles) like electrically charged water weapons.\u00a0 (Fizzle.)\u00a0 In 1950 he predicted satellites…kinda.<\/p>\n

Everything is magick!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wey is a columnist, interviewer and storyteller for Pagan Pages.\u00a0 Fan mail and large bribes may be sent to weylandsmith@yahoo.com.\u00a0 No plastic!<\/p>\n
