Clarke was absolutely brilliant... and cleverly witty. One of my favorite quotes is, "I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're skeptical."

Clarke was a great ambassador for science and technolgy in popular culture. He's like your favourite uncle who can discuss groundbreaking ideas in a way that you'd imagine you'd talk to someone over a cup of tea. I'm sure he had a far more in depth grasp of many technolgies than he presented in many of his novels (so as not to overwhelm more casual readers than some them - probably in technology industries or academia, etc.).
@@nyccollin He predicted the internet, search engines, video calls, smartwatches and smartphones which tbf were similar to concepts already in many pieces of sci fi like star trek but he also predicted at how society would be changed drastically by this invention(look at a post iPhone world) he also predicted how due to all these systems people would not need to travel and could work at home through video chat and computer software through all of these inventions and wouldnt need to travel along along with many other predictions.
Relax people. What Clarke is stating here was already then mainstream discussion topics among computer science academia. These are not his prediction nor ideas alone. Alan Kay had already envisioned portable Tablet computers 5 years prior. Most important, Douglas Englebarts groundbreaking lecture showcasing the first real graphical user interface in 1968. He made a video conference call, showed off the keyboard and mouse combo, introduced a file system, monitor, word processor, real time editing and much more. It was called "the Mother of All Demos." and it changed everything.
Umm, we are relaxed. Please provide links to back up your argument. Next you're going to tell me that satellites were a common subject in the scientific community in 1945.
Additionally, inspired by the fiction of Jules Verne, Tsiolkovsky theorized many aspects of space travel and rocket propulsion. He is considered the father of spaceflight and the first person to conceive the space elevator, becoming inspired in 1895 by the newly constructed Eiffel Tower in Paris. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstantin_Tsiolkovsky
Kamakiri Sassorichan Google "the mother of all demos" and you will see in 1968, what the mainstream press was discussing regarding Computer Science. This interview is 7 year after THAT
This guy was a visionary. Some would say mistakenly a prophet, but he was only way ahead of the people of his time. Probably he helped to shape the future that is now our present. Unfortunately one of two, we do not see people like him nowadays or we are not inteligent enough to recognise them.
5:00 Wow!!! THIS GUY IS A GENUINE Genius! mobile phones not even invented yet and hes talking about how people are just going to ignore phone calls and the social implications of that. I kinda wish we would have received a alien transmission so this guys dream could have come true.
Only the 'not commute' part did not come true. The rest is astonishingly true. That has just inspired me to read more about Arthur C.Clark, so I'm off to read now...
It seems that of all the people who responded to this video, know very little about Arthur C. Clarke. Clarke was not merely science fiction writer. He attained first-class degrees in mathematics and physics from King's College London, (the highest honors classification and indicates high academic achievement.)
Pretty sure, that stumped investors, in the late 80's & 90's just looked back to this guy, and said, "ok, he's right! That would be pretty cool! Let's just try do do what he said!" And along came the internet and cell phones.
He should get more credit for his ideas, Kubrick turned his book into 2001 a Space Odyssey. Long before the internet Clarke's ideas were being fed to an enthusiastic audience. Truly a mentor of genius.
when this interview happened there was already a rudimentary internet. look at the history of the internet. called the ARPANET the first connection was from UCLA to SRI (Stanford Research Institute) in 1969. by 1971 they had 14 nodes in operation by years end they had 19. 10 more in 1972. ethernet demonstrated in 1974 (everything was using coaxial cables up to this point). 61 nodes in 1975 (they were also using satellite communication from NORSAR [Seismic monitoring and modeling seismic data] to SDAC [Seismic Data Analysis Center]). by 1976 computer scientists at UC Berkeley are revising a Unix system to incorporate TCP/IP protocols (the main internet protocol we use now). someone that had their mind facing towards the future, knowing what was already available at the time, could easily see what can and will come about.
The Dick Tracy reference was obvious to anyone that had a flip-phone back in the mid 90's. This was released about the time of the smartwatch. I'm guessing holographic projecting wearable devices will shadow the Apple watch before the next decade.😁👍
In all honesty he COULD have "predicted" such things, BUT, does anyone think that it's possible that people that ended up creating these big businesses of such technology that we have today originally got their ideas from things like this? Because in all seriousness I feel as though he is SPOT ON with literally everything he said, almost so much so that it leads me to believe that that is the case.
in the end it doesn't matter if innovators and scientists got inspired by people like this. 40 years in the future is too long a time to be able to control the result. two many variable parameters introduced for such a long time. this guy makes amazing predictions and obviously had great accurate visions of the future.
noiserrr Yea making those things a reality is one thing, I was just talking about the generalized ideas of those types of products and services that he was talking about.
Dr. Clarke got most of his predictions from watching and listening to what was already around him. Star Trek was showing up and Mr Clarke based on what he saw at military and science labs was that someday the everyday person will be able to enjoy such technological luxuries too. Before people thought these technologies would only be for the elite and the military, but Dr. Clarke took it a step further and said that these technological advances will be available for all. In other words, science fiction do inspire scientists and inventors, and the technologies that scientists and inventors make also inspire science fiction writers to be more creative. It is wonderful really, otherwise we wouldn't have the dynamic so aw-inspiring science fiction world we have today and the technologies that came out of them. It is really a cycle, round relationship, not a straight line.
I can imagine the majority of people who were living in 76 calling Clarke a "quack"....we'll, think about the current tech visionaries and how we accuse them of the same thing :)
The global pandemic put that to a test. Telecommuting proved that many tasks can be accomplished by a wide variety of workers. Not all occupations have come up to speed yet.
@@nickrich56 Moving the tasks that can be completed to homes frees up transit capacity for those who must travel. What are some examples of occupations that you've found that can't be WFH or "work from zone" where the zone is a place near home where people can converge to do the work?
If this wows you, look up a 1947 short story called "A Logic Named Joe," in which the Internet society is EXPLICITLY presented, the author just gets the terminology wrong.

He wasn't "predicting" anything. He knew what was coming, because he obviously knew what was being developed (most likely one of the many few that did at that time). Technology is developed many many years in advance of what we get in the market place, but a lot of people just don't get that.
Of course he was predicting. While these things were being developed, there are countless dead ends along the way that require a truly intelligent mind to distinguish between. For example, it was difficult to imagine in 1969 that humans would become so disinterested in space travel that development along that front would stagnate so severely. Technological development requires investment, and investment requires public interest. A futurist has to know not just what can be done, but when it will be done.
where do you think apple, google, amazon etc were "shared" the ideas? This man gave the ideas to the great American companies. He predicted that the transistors were going to be so small that everything he says would be possible.
It must've been painful knowing that you are aging during the cusp of a technological explosion. Like if you asked me if I would have preferred the culture and experience of growing up in the 80s-90s vs 2000s, I would choose 2000s for the technological changes we've experienced.
He said travel would decrease....so far, folks use their communications devices and travel vehicles at the same time around here.🙄 He missed it on satellite communications too. Underwater cables carry international communication. Aint gonna be no space aliens either.
I remember when Clarke was nominated for a Knighthood, one of the UK tabloids saw that he was a single gay man living in Sri Lanka and assumed the worst. (This was while the Gary Glitter scandal was ongoing - but Clarke was moved to Sri Lanka because he loved SCUBA diving.) Investigations found nothing suspicious, and Clarke was formally Knighted by Prince Charles in 2000.)
Everyone is speaking about this man's foresight with all of our technology but I think most if not all of it already existed. It was invented for and used by the military. There are countless interviews with Military people who are now retired and speak of the public always lagging 50-100 years behind what has already been researched and developed. All of it thanks to our tax dollars of course.
PrincessZoey97 I already can speak with a passable english accent but then again I'm from the South in the US so I don't have that harsh rhotic accent of the north. Also I've been around a lot of English people since college, many became citizens and now live here.

Well, he did live long enough to see the rise of the Internet and Google, and smartphones. It just took 30 years after this interview to do it.
