I have a scan of the October 1922 Gernsback magazine Radio News.  The 
front cover shows some guys out camping along with some machinery that
has antennas on it and food coming out.  The caption is "Receiving Lunch
by Radio - 50 Years Hence"

Of course this is perfectly accurate; it's just the details that are
wrong.  Instead of your lunch coming through the air waves, you pick up
your handheld transceiver and order a pizza delivered to your camp site.
