As if something out of a Philip K. Dick novel, this magazine (and others of its ilk) promised all sorts of inventions that never moved past the patent stage and into the general public's actual life; rather, these promises of high-tech utopia merely lulled the populace into getting through another drab day as slaves of the Powers that Be, with that elusive carrot of a better tomorrow always just around the corner. From Illustrated World, 1922.
