@@jezz2k Well quantum computing could lead to an explosion in discoveries and there are a few private companies who seems to be making faster progress on Fusion than state funded enterprises. My hope is that by 2060 Fusion power will be the dominant power source. Fusion could make the production of hydrogen viable for transport (coupled with economies of scale) By 2110 the fossil fuel age could be a dimming memory with the World's oceans cleansed of plastic waste and even the orbiting space trash gone . Fusion powered spaceships could be reaching out into the solar system and getting to Mars in just 10 days. Well I'm dreaming but let's hope it happens
This was very ambitious - a prime time general interest and scientific programme. Sad that there's nothing like this now. Technology is so amazing that it has lost its ability to be surprising or understandable now.
I was 21 yrs old when this aired and had been an employee of BT for a whole year as an OMI "or a linesman in the US" how things changed only a few years later. I remember as if it was yesterday. Oh boy, I feel old watching this now 🙄
Keith Chegwin "couldn't cope" with Maggie- so why would any early 3D printer be able to? BA-HA!! (Or maybe it was the other way around as Cheggers was a piss-head)
@@anthonydoyle3613 That's a dispicable joke. Our Cheggars was a hero of mine growing up, 'Cheggars Plays Pop' was cult viewing in our house, that's right, hope that'll beer the last we hear of it..
And no painter was ever helped by photography, no photographer was ever helped by digitization, no carpenter was ever helped by human assistants and electrically powered tools, no researcher was ever helped by the Internet, and nobody with eyes was ever helped by glasses.
One of the greatest programmes of all time in my opinion.

That theme tune takes me back. Its nuts to watch it now
Still using film to go on location in 1989: that's surprising.
I love this show especially rewatching years later.
"Good evening, and welcome to Today's World, because Tomorrow Never Comes!" 🤣
It still looks modern - we have progressed a lot in 30 years but if you say compared 1959 with 1989 there would be a World of difference
When we eventually have quantum processors and fusion power stations, things will change dramatically.

Our computers these days still owe a lot to the Amiga, which influenced the direction of Microsoft software from Windows 3.0 to Windows 98.

Wouldn't mind being picked up by Judith the truck driver ♥️♥️♥️
Judith looked like she was well used to driving a truck
Good evening and welcome to Today's World, because Tomorrow Never Comes! 🤣
This clip was nearly 30 years old when i wrote this in 'Yesterdays World' on 26/11/2018.
Yesterdays world was so much better ... R I P
no
Tomorrow's world is here for you today
Grew up on this 👍

I wanted to see those results from the first bit. Still... Interesting to see what they thought of as revolutionary back then.
1blisslife watch the second half of the episode then
I miss this show. So many predictions were made and mistakes happened. But it was a terrific show.
Before the BBC dumbed down, at the same time as BBC executives forbid their own children from watching TV because they knew how awful it was.
Before the BBC became a political propaganda megaphone...
Didnt seem to have much to report on in 1989
That stunt of presenter driving lorry in a studio, then other presenter strolls up to it as it stops.
Is it just me, or does she look just like Carrie Fisher
I've had a long held suspicion that whoever recruits at the BBC likes the same type of brunettes as me - it makes the license fee worthwhile!
she does a bit
SHE DOES
Howard reminds me of Burke in Aliens
I wonder where that bronze head is now?
Is that an afgani under the trailer?
Keith Chegwin "couldn't cope" with Maggie- so why would any early 3D printer be able to?
BA-HA!! (Or maybe it was the other way around as Cheggers was a piss-head)
I wonder who was the more sensible...
Cheggars can't be boozers!

The tech is mostly nonsense but Maggie is the top.
Looks more like the bloke in the good doctor
It takes just two minutes to scan my head with this new laser, three minutes for the computer to create an image, and four days to print.
That sculptor is a hack, no serious sculptor would say that some computer bs helps him in his job...
And no painter was ever helped by photography, no photographer was ever helped by digitization, no carpenter was ever helped by human assistants and electrically powered tools, no researcher was ever helped by the Internet, and nobody with eyes was ever helped by glasses.
I THOUGHT IT WAS DAMMED GOOD
why is Maggie wearing a bath robe?
BBC fan service.
Bronze thing was good
3d printer almost 3 decases ago :o
More like a 3-D eraser.
