Arthur C. Clarke, futurist and science fiction writer, predicted the future of computers and the internet remarkably accurately to an ABC reporter in 1974. Understanding how our lives would be transformed by the coming computer and digital age, he foresaw how people would be able to get their news and information in the future. The reporter was also equally prescient in asking questions of the social impact this future life would be like. Amazing footage that is also featured at the beginning of Danny Boyle’s 2015 film Steve Jobs.
