L51-3:Predicting the future
Bagrit foresawa time when computers would be small enough to hold in the hand, when they would be capable of providing information about traffic jams and suggesting alternative routes, when theywould be used in hospitals to help doctors to diagnose illnesses, when they wouldrelieve office workers and accountants of dull, repetitive clerical work. Allthese computer uses have become commonplace. Of course, Leon Bagrit could not possiblyhave foreseen the development of the Internet,the worldwide system thatenables us to communicate instantly with anyone in any part of the world byusing computers linked to telephone networks. Nor could he have foreseen how wecould use the Internet to obtain information on every known subject, so we canread it on a screen in our homes and even print it as well if we want to. Computershave become smaller andsmaller, more and more powerful and cheaper and cheaper. This is what makesLeon Bagrit's predictions particularly remarkable. If he, or someone like him,were alive today, he might be able to tell us what to expect in the next fifty years. [02:31~03:50]
