What gets me is management must never have watched Star Trek. The single most influential TV show that made kids want a computer! How many things can you see from the show that were really made. The communicator which become the flip phone. The whole show is filled with things we now have and use.

46:00 "small computers that are powerful and no longer chained to the library" Sounds like the smartphones of nowadays.

@achan1058 Not a phone, but the open web where everything known to man can be stored. You have millions of servers all tied together and all you need is tablet that can go anywhere with you and its cheap.

Perhaps today's home theater systems will become some kind of 3D stations, where the virtual world will eventually be put to effective, personal use. I envisage going to music concerts and sports events via simulation, for example. It's like being there without really being there. Ticket scalpers, take note, your "business" will become extinct! LOL

An absolutely thrilling documentary and the fact that it was made twenty years ago gives it a charming twist somehow.

I like the parts with old video from the 60-80's.

It puts what we have today in perspective.

It is good that great minds of the past worked hard on issues and found solutions that today are almost considered obvious.

For those of them that did not become rich as a result of their discoveries I would like say big THANK YOU.

I wonder how does it feel to spend best parts of ones life working on something and to see that it has become so invisible today. The only reconciliation would be money.

Thanks for sharing this

We couldn't imagine where we would be now, almost 20 years later.
