This view of the future comes from John Wilkins (1614–1672), an English clergyman, naturalist, and writer, who helped
found the Royal Society for Natural Knowledge in England:
Yet I do seriously and on good grounds affirm it possible to make a flying chariot in which a man may sit and give such
a motion unto it as shall convey him through the air. And this perhaps might be made large enough to carry diverse
men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum and commodities for traffic. It is not the bigness of
anything in this kind that can hinder its motion, if the motive faculty be answerable thereunto. We see a great ship
swims as well as a small cork, and an eagle flies in the air as well as a little gnat.

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was a Serbian American inventor, scientist, engineer, and entrepreneur who worked with
electricity and contributed to the development of alternating current. He made these predictions about the future:
It will soon be possible, for instance, for a business man in New York to dictate instructions and have them appear
instantly in London or elsewhere. He will be able to call up from his desk and talk with any telephone subscriber in the
world. It will only be necessary to carry an inexpensive instrument not bigger than a watch, which will enable its
bearer to hear anywhere on sea or land for distances of thousands of miles. One may listen or transmit speech or
song to the uttermost part of the world. In the same way any kind of picture, drawing, or print can be transferred
from one place to another. It will be possible to operate millions of such instruments from a single station. Thus it will
be a simple matter to keep the uttermost parts of the world in instant touch with each other. The song of a great
singer, the speech of a political leader, the sermon of a great divine, the lecture of a man of science may thus be
delivered to an audience scattered all over the world.

30 ! seneca falls: common ground by andrea brecheen the seneca falls convention of 1848 was the single-most important event of the early women's suffrage movement. the suffrage movement grew out of centuries of shameful and unfair treatment of women. at the time of the convention, women did not have the right to vote or serve on juries, and many women were unable to inherit property. in the decades leading up to the convention, a small group of women began to rebel against these injustices. suffrage originated from women's participation in the anti-slavery and temperance movements. the seneca falls convention was the first conference dedicated to women's rights. the convention was organized by two female abolitionists, elizabeth cady stanton and lucretia mott. lucretia mott was an eloquent quaker social reformer. mott had previously been denied the right to speak at an anti-slavery conference in london after the men voted to exclude women from participating. unlike many women of her time, elizabeth cady stanton received a formal education. at the age of 16, stanton studied mathematics, latin, and greek, demonstrating her keen abilities by mastering the subjects alongside boys of her own age. coming together to support the suffrage movement, mott and stanton organized the convention in seneca falls, ny in july of 1848. during the six-day meeting, stanton presented the declaration of sentiments, a document she based on the declaration of independence. in the declaration, she so elegantly wrote, "we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal." the declaration included a list of grievances detailing the treatment of women. the declaration was signed by sixty-eight women and thirty-two men. following the convention, in 1848 the new york state assembly passed the married women's act. this act protected property that women brought into or earned during marriage. read the passage. which sentence best represents a fact about elizabeth cady stanton detailed in the text? a "unlike many women of her time, elizabeth cady stanton received a formal education." b "in the declaration, she so elegantly wrote, 'we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal.'" c "stanton rightly believed it should the law should be changed to make it easier for women to get divorces and keep their access to their children." d "at the age of 16, stanton studied mathematics, latin, and greek, demonstrating her keen abilities by mastering the subjects alongside boys of her own age."
