12:57 "We can constantly being bombarded by information of all times...particularly in modern times." ---- I wonder if he had any idea of what was to come.

No. The closest thing that I’ve seen that was pretty accurate to predicting computers in people’s homes and Internet commerce is a film titled 1999 A.D. a film made in 1967. It is available to watch on KZbin.

Couldn't find much on Jay Feldman at 5:53, but Walter Jacobson, featured at 7:00, has quite the colorful Wikipedia article. Still with us at age 86, too!

[@Bruce12867]

And that's former Bears wide receiver Johnny Morris delivering the sports at 9:28. Morris is also still with us at age 88.

Yes, they do. Symbolism will be their downfall.

[@Cheezburgercatz]

Intelligent ppl who are well versed in the history of and development of technologies just recognize the patterns that persist and how they're exploited by power structures... it's not that spectacular, what is spectacular is how we always ignore their warnings bc shiny new object syndrome or corporate greed / s_distic applications of said tech
