Right! I think the only thing they missed is airplanes just not being necessary for delivery (unless you count in-flight wi-fi). And the grammaphone was just leapfrogged; the first news radio broadcast was only 7 years after this cartoon

We do have small aircraft (drones) being used for deliveries now though, so not completely wrong

These phone services were the current tech when the strip was printed.
