Historically Nikola Tesla didn't get the credit for his outstanding contributions he deserved. Atleast now people are beginning to realise his true value.

[@JoshuaPagan]

I mean... the science and engineering community understood the value of his contributions. And he was my favorite inventor when I was 5 back in 1998 because of how wacky his inventions and legacy was... I think its high-time we let go of the notion that he's under-appreciated at all today or that he's just now blossoming into societies collective consciousness. Anyone within shit-tossing range of Pop-Science knows who he is to some degree. He got screwed over by a marketer and innovator. So were many people who've paved the way to today and remain nameless in history. The best way to honor his legacy is doing something yourself and taking advantage of the tools given to you to do so.

As usual, I'm fascinated by another one of your excellent post. It's amazing what the mind is capable of, if given the ideal challenges and conducive environments. It seems that all it took for for these great visionaries, or futurists, was the mental will to project ideas in their heads, to see the needs and fulfillment of things that would make life better and the mechanics, the nuts and bolts that would give birth, if you will, to their visions. It also took those, who'd dare follow up on them, to make it happen, fulfilling their fantasies. The world is a better place because of them, that's no doubt. I think it's great, but I'm wondering why there seems to be no comparable knowledge or fanfare for the further development and refinement of the mind, with focus on the human brain, after all, *it* is the inspiration and work-shop of those fantasies that makes any invention possible. In Ecclesiastes, it states that there is nothing new under the Sun....Is it possible that *none* of the inventions or advances are new, but are just inspired from a Source of consciousness, the reservoir of True Knowledge available to any of us, who'd be willing participants in a spiritual reintroduction of things that were before.....in another time and possibly even another place? Something tells me that we've had a version of all of this before, but it was better. My own thoughts are that the reason it was better is possibly because those then had greater mental abilities; every aspect of their mental faculties were markedly sharper than ours is today. My point is that we should be focusing on developing ourselves, not just mentally, but emotionally, physically and most important... *spiritually* to out pace ANY development in computer technology. It looks like we are romanticizing and setting up ourselves for our own demise....at the hands or logical processes of the computer. Did we create our own true enemy?

What about space travel, especially tourist space travel? I maintain that, for the average American, the overall experience of technological advance hasn't been all that great (except, of course, for consumer electronics).

Two weeks ago I too would have considered this prediction incorrect. Two weeks later though?

Now China are sending methamphetamines to USA, just a couple of examples. WW1 mustard gas. Nuclear power is a force for good but what do mankind do? Weaponise it.

There was an essay published in 1968 called "The Computer as a Communication Device." It was created by leaders in computer science and basically outlined the framework of the internet and how it would be used. Here are some quotes from the essay: "We believe that we are entering a technological age in which we will be able to interact with the richness of living information-not merely in the passive way that we have become accustomed to using books and libraries, but as active participants in an ongoing process, bringing something to it through our interaction with it, and not simply receiving something from it by our connection to it." "We want to emphasize something beyond its one-way transfer: the increasing significance of the jointly constructive, the mutually reinforcing aspect of communication-the part that transcends 'now we both know a fact that only one of us knew before.' When minds interact, new ideas emerge. We want to talk about the creative aspect of communication." "What will online interactive communities be like? In most fields they will consist of geographically separated members, sometimes grouped in small clusters and sometimes working individually. They will be communities not of common location, but of common interest."

However (sadly) it was overly optimistic with the scale of intraspace travel and colonization of the moon within the time frame of the film's title.

[@joesterling4299]

I think that's because we assumed the scale of funding and effort that led to the moon landings would continue unabated.

Thank you for posting this - much appreciated. The most 'accurate' and well described vision was the online shopping in 1967 - that was really prescient! However the biggest would have been the guy who predicted the internet (forgot his name from the vid). Even as a kid in the 70s none of us saw smartphones - we all thought video phones in phone booths (like Blade Runner of the 80s) and home video phones would be the height of technology. None of us even dreamt of such a device as a smartphone in the current form. Maybe Dick Tracey's wrist phone that made only phone calls but not current smartphones with all their capability. It won't be too long before smartphones exceed Star Trek's 'Tricorder' - many functions today can emulate it and I think 5-10 years should see it surpass it. BTW - who remembers in the original Lost In Space series where Maureen Robinson prepared the family dinner in less than a minute with a microwave oven - or something that behaved like it anyway. As I recall she cooked a whole chicken in less than a minute - in 1967 the series was made and was set in 1998. Maybe the device that cooks a chook in a minute isn't even here with us yet?! . . .
