If a throw down on cool and even more old and useless skills learned in schools is what you want, I'm for today. Not only did I need to learn learn about the Dewey Decimal System and cursive hand writing, (as a lefty I was nearly forced to learn to write right handed in school), but I had to learn how to use a slide rule. Calculators weren't around until I was about 17. Now everyone carries one and can't do any math.

Television as a working concept was solidly in place by the 1920s. They just needed to agree on a standard, make the tech cheap enough, and get broadcast stations built. Had WW2 not interrupted things, we might have had television as a bigger commercial thing sooner than the 1950s/1960s. The clipping does look like the style of Popular Science or Popular Mechanics of the 1930's era though.

As much as I'm all for lab produced meats, I'm against the price to buy it. Lab grown salmon is cool and all that, but until it's cheaper than farm raised salmon, (most of what you can buy in a grocery store), it's merely something for wealthy people to eat to make themselves feel better about themselves. And not something the poor can easily afford or even access.

And this is an issue with all Eco-friendly products from lab grown meats to EV's to solar panels, None of those things do the average plebe any good.

To paraphrase a TV show,

:The head office asked me to identify the differences between these two pictures. They are the same.
