Maybe plausible is a better term than valid?

My guess is that in the list of 20 there will be a couple approaching correct - with extended time windows. However, there will be a unique list of situations that rival the Kodak demise.

Where is my flying car!?!?

I welcome our robot overlords.

Easy to kick back and suppose the society will trod a logical intelligent path to the future, but then stuff happens:

Almost every item in that list is comically wrong and reflects the intellect of a 12 year old reading SciFi books. Someone who doesn't understand basic economics.

The batteries recycle just fine. The current problem is there aren’t enough of them to make large scale recycling profitable. There are recycling companies gearing up to be ready for - and to profit from - recycling EV batteries.

My understanding is that, with current tech, it costs more than double to recycle lithium than to prominence and process it. So maybe those batteriesrecycle just fine, but there is no financial incentive to do it.
The time lines in that write up are honestly laughable. Some of those things may come to pass, but certainly those are more wild ass guesses than valid predictions.

Personally I would rather go back to the way it was around 1970.

And....wait for it....Get off my Lawn!
