I stumbled on this beauty a while back. Was during a 1974 Sydney visit. He didn't predict the rarity of a Victa VC 125 Mk III which was available new at the time!
He likely would have said to grab one and keep it in the box!



Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

Doesn't he mean one day a computer will fit on your wrist ?


I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.

C'mon B_B cut the guy a break, it was 1974 not 1984. He did good predicting that for the real 2001, (not the book he released together with the movie six years prior).

All good, I get it, but I'll take it another step further. People will eventually be born and have a computer placed inside them like an implanom is in women as birth control.

"All part of a little bitty scheme" to control humans. (that's if you're an Alan Jackson fan)

Cheers,
BB.

No MF, we are not living Arthur C Clarks 1974 Future, we have gone way beyond that. Sure it was amazing what he was able to predict but the advances in this has gone way past talking about a monitor sitting on a desk. He made no mention that one day a hand held mobile device would be all you would need

Maybe this comedy sketch from 1980 when the first Victa side pull series full cranks came out will satisfy you better NormK.
