Twentieth Century Inventions: A Forecast by George Sutherland is about various inventions and processes powered by natural and artificial power, including ships, trains, warfare, and music. Excerpt: "Twenty years ago the author started a career in technological journalism by writing descriptions of what he regarded as the most promising inventions which had been displayed in international exhibitions then recently held. From that time until the present it has been his constant duty and practice to take note of the advance of inventive science as applied to industrial improvement—to watch it as an organic growth, not only from a philosophical but also from a practical, point of view."
