In this video, I take a look at some of my personal favourite predictions made throughout history that have truly aged horrbily with time. This video was inspired by the absurd prediction that the US would collapse in 2010 and be split among various other countries.

Secitons:
0:00 US collapse
5:23 Columbus
8:20 The War That Will End War
11:26 Peace for our time
14:01 Flying Machines
16:31 Internet's impact
