In 1963, a newspaper published a bold prediction: someday, people would carry their phones in their pockets. At the time, the idea seemed absurd—phones were bulky, wired devices limited to homes and offices.

Fast forward to today, and we carry not just phones but powerful smartphones capable of video calls, internet access, and AI-powered apps. It’s fascinating to see how what was once considered impossible has become part of everyday life.

This raises an important question: what current "crazy" predictions about the future might actually come true? Could it be flying cars, life on Mars, or AI doctors?

If you lived in 1963, would you have believed this prediction? And what innovation are you betting on for the next 50 years? Share your thoughts!

Why not?

Authur C Clarke predicted the internet and AI as far back as the 60s.

He was a visionary.

Most people do not dream about the future.

EmperorCaesar:




His foolish prediction isnt on same level as that of Nikola Tesla

Clarke was a fictional writer who felt some vacuum are still not occupied on our planet and badly wanted Science to fill it up for him

Its like dreaming to download food via the internet in 2025 just cause you're hungry and lazy to go get food. Of course, it will happen someday


Tesla's is different, he had a plan, was working on it, but knew theres limited time and tech to get it done, then trusting on latter scientist to build on his info to get the things done

Clarke is like Martin Luther, they are just wishers

EmperorCaesar:


Actually, This Nikola Tesla prediction was made in 1926 not 1963, and it was very detailed and accurate

Coming from Tesla, I would believe it, but if it was just a random wish like Martin Luther's, I wouldnt believe that nonsense

Like those before him, Tesla trusted the future knowledge of the next generation of scientists to advance the mission of wireless transmission



Dont forget Nostradamus, he is biggest prophet since Yeshua

Without any iota of doubt, I would've.

The world is in cycle.

We get to the peak of advancement, face apocalypse and destruction, then start all over again living like cavemen with zero technology. Then evolve gradually again and get to the peak again. The cycles continue.

A very few have learnt to survive through time, and retain ancient knowledge and through experience they take control of the new world and begin to release gradually the ancient technology and knowledge.
They create the school system, reintroduce a new world order, the banks, finance, technology, religion then carefully manage knowledge and call themselves elites…. The rest of you follow the matrix and work for them. You go through schools, get indoctrinated to religion and new world order, get a job, earn salary, pay debts, raise a family, retire and earn pension then die of old age or die young trying to find the meaning of life
