Predicting The Future In 1964
Arthur C. Clarke predicts that we will be able to work efficiently from anywhere. Basically predicting our mobile internet. I’m sure it sounded absurd back then. Now it’s just part of everyday life.

Not that long ago the mobile Internet was pretty much just simplistic Web pages, plain text eMail and had very few users. Since 2007 with the introduction of iPhones it’s been changing.
