Predictions that came true in 2016

2016 may have brought a lot of surprises with it but many of the oddities of the year have actually been predicted before.

Way back in 2000 The Simpsons predicted Donald Trump's election as President of the United States in the episode Bart to the Future. Whether or not the budget crisis President Lisa Simpson mentions having to deal with in in lieu of the outgoing Trump administration will become a reality has yet to be seen.

In 1898 Nikola Tesla developed remote control and pitched its usefulness in guiding vehicles to carry objects, including packages and provisions. Drone delivery services may be a more commonplace part of the future but today, while possible, have yet to be legislated for.
