Arthur C. Clarke Internet & PC, 1974

Arthur C. Clarke Internet & PC, 1974 In1974 Arthur C. Clarke told the ABC that every household in 2001 will have a computer and be connected all over the world. "He will have in his own house…a console through which he can talk to his friendly local computer and get all the information he needs for his everyday life, like his bank statements, theatre reservations—all the information you need in the course of living in a complex modern society. This will be in a compact form in his own house. You”ll have a television screen…and a keyboard and he’ll talk to the computer and get information from it. And he’ll take it as much for granted as we take the telephone." Courtesy of Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Apr 9, 2012 5:16 PM
