Well it just goes to show you the future is hard to predict. Plus having lived through that time we were much more optimistic in those days. We were going to solve every problem that had plagued mankind since the begining of time. Once we put a man on the moon we figured there were no limits.
Even so some of the things we have now where not even imagined then. Elementary school children with their own personal communication devices (cell phones). Computers that are faster and more powerful than we could even imagine back in the 80's. I remember a Data Processing manager (you call them IT people now) telling me we couldn't use a windows based program because they used too much computing power. In his opinion we shouldn't purchase windows based software because that wasn't the direction the industry was going.

what happened to Utopian future that was on the minds of man in the early 1900's?
back then, high hopes were that science and the industrial revolution would usher in a bucolic era of peace and security.
to answer? it is not within the capacity of mankind to bring about the solutions it so desires. Even if there were no religions or politics, the base human tendency of hatred and greed will never allow humans to solve the problems that plague humanity.

We do have flying cars. We call them "airplanes", and they've been around a lot longer than that.
Food in pill form. Well, there are multi-vitamins.
Hologram TV? People didn't even know what a hologram was at that time.
You can go to the Phillipines for surgery without cutting.
I didn't live back then, so I'm not so sure what was popular.

The vision is in a museum. Tomorrow Land in Disney Magic Kingdom.

The last---surgery without cutting--we actually do have in some cases! I speak from experience--some of my own eye surgery was with lasers only.
But here's another one for your list--and everyone thought we'd see this after Apollo 11 reached the moon: A manned lunar base and expedition to Mars

People always get extra excited around a new millenium -- and lots of people made lots of predictions for the year 2000.
Sadly, to see this much excitement about the future again, we will have to wait until about 2950 or 60.
