What did people 100 years ago expect would happen in 2021? What did they imagine today's world would look like? It's a really interesting question that Jason Feifer, Editor In Chief of Entrepreneur Magazine wanted to answer, so he did some research and put together a fascinating article about what folks in 1921 thought our current moment would look like. Jason Feifer joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about thermostats, the Wizard of Schenectady, 1921's idea of Netflix and Alexa, and bold predictions for 2121.
