Nailed it!

Brilliant.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Pretty damn good for 1964. Didn't quite get the dissolution of the city, if anything, citification has increased. But with the other stuff ... spot on.

This is why I read sci-fi.

Little did he realize he would eventually participate in what he predicted. How appropriate one of the related videos is his 90th birthday reflections video.

He was "spot on" on a great many things. Even 2001, if resources allowed, could have been a possibility (the vehicles).

I think the biggest problems with many sci-fi writers is that they overreach or have little knowledge of the logistics and production side. Arthur C. Clarke did have the foresight to take a lot of these issues into his writings and more so, his talks. People like him often help issue these devices into reality just by their influence on future engineers/scientists.

That rare blend of *vintage and *future.


Also *talks.

That was visionary.

We are now at one of those "precipice" moments, when the world has become something that it wasn't before, yet we keep using the old model.

I swiped some guy's Denver Post last week. It was sitting there for a few days so I didn't think he would mind.

Anyway...I opened the "Help Wanted" section. The entire section was about a 5x5 inch square, for all of Denver.

Back in the early 90's, there were always two or three full, broadsheet pages of want ads.

But no more. Why? Craigslist.

Back in 1990, nobody could have conceived of Craigslist, other than Mr. Clark here.

And I think that new dimension of "networking" for lack of a better word has yet to be utilized to its full extent.

I think that, more than ever before, we are in a postion where the common person can collaborate with people on the otherside of the world, in a very meaningful way.
