No More Hard Work by 2023
No More Hard Work by 2023! Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, the electrical expert, believes that the time is coming when there will be no long drudgery and that people will toil not more than four hours a day, owing to the work of electricity. He visualizes an amazing transformation in life in 2023. Every city will be a "spotless town." That is to be the work of electricity, also.
A vintage newspaper clipping predicts that by 2023 electricity will eliminate hard labor, reduce the workday to four hours, and make every city spotless. The joke comes from the wildly inaccurate optimism of the century-old prediction, contrasting imagined technological progress with the reality of 2023.
