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. More real time thinking less marvel at random clips

This footage of someone predicting the internet is now being viewed on the internet. Edit: I'm getting sick of people repeatedly thinking I'm just stating the obvious. So let me clarify and say that the point I'm making is that this guy's prediction became so true that the very thing he predicted is being used to show him predicting it

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

The most fascinating part is that the word "internet" isn't in his vocabulary, the word didn't exist. We're all here thinking "just say the word!" but he's talking about something that in his time was so abstract it didn't have a name.

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).

I was born in the 50's, and in the early 1960's a number of people were predicting what Clarke was saying, especially during a period of time when communication satellites were being launched, lasers and robotic technology existed, and mainframe computers were getting increasingly smaller and more powerful. He's saying nothing that wasn't said or written about in the science periodicals at that time.

How's this one?: John F. Kennedy, speaking to Congress and the nation at the joint session of Congress on May 25, 1961, said: "I believe that this Nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth." Now that's an accurate prediction!

I love these practical predictions that scientists make, they're accurate and not too unreal like flying cars and stuff, loved it when he talked about the consequences and his expectations toward humankind

Miss your brilliance Mr. Clark. Wish we had more people in tune with our future like you seemingly did. Thank you for all your novels.

Not only did he predict the technologies, he also said that it'll happen within a specific time frame of 50 years; instead of "sometime in the future".

If anyone could've predicted the future accurately it was good old AC Clarke. I'd like to think of Andy Weir as his successor.

I remember back in elementary school in the 80's we took computer class. The teacher was saying she thought future newspapers would be an electronic form on a computer.

Sort of an easy prediction to make in the '80s. We had basic dial up networks through bulletin board systems and also early services like CompuServe.

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.

I made a prediction in math class when we bought "stocks". I bought batteries. I said "this was the future" (while holding up a Duracell). Almost right.

I mean... they are. Who even reads paper newspapers anymore? We all just get our news off Facebook (sorry, META) and Twitter.

Sir Arthur C. Clarke nailed this one, that is for sure.

This is eerie

This is scarily accurate. One might think it's a modern video with a "retro" filter.

Many modern concepts and algorithms have been theorized about as early as the 30s. It’s just that they didn’t have the processing power for it. 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.

okay dude, now return the Delorean to Doc!
