From the engineers at Honeywell in 1957 comes this prediction that, by A.D. 2000, we will have machines under our dining room floors that suck away dirty dishes, clean them, and then stack them on the shelves.
If you have any sense of what is possible in the physical world, this cutaway may offend you. An eight-inch thick concrete floor with an automatic dishwasher levitating below it? How do the dishes exactly get washed in there, then pushed up and away? Mostly, how does the machine sort and stack the dishes?
