The changes in the capabilities of smartphones in a relatively short period of time are iincredible. There really isn’t much of a need anymore for the big desktop computers. Smartphones, iPads, Tablets and Laptops have taken over. I don’t know anyone who has a desktop computer for personal use. A smartphone can be programmed to launch a rocket into space.

If you and other 100 make a random assumption about the future, even with 0 knowledge whatsoever, people will still react like this when they find out that random, correct video 50 years from now. For one sensate thing there are countless "flying cars". Now, imagine if a person with some actual knowledge or part in the events makes such predictions. The slower the progress goes the easier it is to see the future: now it's way harder for example. There are a shit load of nostradamuses that predate him and all do the same thing, and this video is still decently vague tbh. Sometimes I don't get how you guys fail to recognize your selective cognition and actually think the previous humans were all morons. It's not terrifying at all, nor surprising. In fact, it's somewhat funny we failed at it so hard that our so called "progress" made it to a predicted point and we still fucked up so hard to not solve the neighbour, foreseen issues along the way.

Happy Bee, you are 100% correct. Often times, people say somebody or a scripture predicted this or that, but like you said, it is extremely vague, thus allowing wishful people to read things into it. Apart from being a physicist, Arthur C. Clarke was also a great futurologist and Science Fiction writer. Here, he proved himself as a great futurologist. However, people who are so called prophets should be able to do even better, for instance by accurately naming names of people, say Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and exactly predict what they would do, and yet these FAKE prophets do not even come close to being as accurate as a great Futurologist

It is trurly incredible, how sci-fi writers were able to envision the future. One day i was reading "The Magellanic Cloud" (Polish title: Obłok Magellana), a science fiction novel by Polish writer Stanisław Lem. The story was about journey of a generation starship, and in one of the chapters, the protagonist was using informational network to access some of the data for research (it was stored on a tiniest crystals). Suddenly, it hit me - the author literally described Internet, and the novel was written yet only in 1955! Amazing. Simply amazing.

Clarke could not have predicted how efficient fibre optics would turn out to be in comparison to satellite communications!

People think the Internet started in the late 1990's but it was a thing back in the 60's just not affordable to the average guy. What this man predicted was the internet growing and the transistors becoming more powerful so that instead of only covering the US and being used by the military, it would cover the world and be used by most civilians.

Honestly, it doesn’t sound too scary if you remind yourself that this is many years after tech like radio and TV were popularized, which is a good beginning for wireless worldwide communication. We pretty much just lacked the physical devices for reaching bigger - same for today: quantum computers have been a concept for quiet a while, but it’s not feasible to its full potential yet.

Clarke's best quote has got to be “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. In this video he is only describing technology half a century in his future and at the time his ideas were regarded as rather fanciful. Imagine what it could be like a couple of hundred years hence, that is if we survive that long. My prediction is that we will be communicating through, lets call it, quantum tunnelling requiring no conventionally transmitted electromagnetic connection at all and at virtually instantaneous speed over any distance with no limit on the amount of data being transmitted. Consequently, it would be possible to present a virtual image of oneself at any location requiring no physical presence and would be indistinguishable from the real thing. That really would be working from home.

A brilliant sales pitch by two engineers was made to a top executive at Xerox in the 80s. Their opening statement was: the future of the office is no office. The executive's business, however, relied chiefly on paper production and consumption. He turned down their pitch and thanked them for their time. Xerox missed it's chance to be one of the biggest leaders back then.

@@Jonas-ej7id I was at a simulation congress at the end of 2016 where the technology was being showcased. There had been some big news stories about remote surgeries before then. At that stage they were focused on showing off the haptic feedback so the surgeon could get a simulated feel of where they were and what they were doing. When discussing it with hospital staff over the next year or so the biggest bottleneck to it becoming more common seemed to be digital literacy amongst surgeons.

The Internet has changed many things for the better, but it has also opened access to a seedy, degenerate world, and brought it right into our homes. Pornography no longer arrives in a plain brown wrapper, so the mailman, neighbors, mother or the wife doesn’t see it, it’s right there one click away. Our children are exposed to things they shouldn’t see or even know exist. I was a child of the ‘50’s, the worst I was exposed to was maybe a shoot out western on TV, a gangster movie, Roadrunner blowing things up, or the 3 Stooges slapping each other. Our young people today are bombarded from all sides. They are being robbed of their childhood, their innocence, and now being taught to question their own gender. Not all progress is good.
