Arthur C Clarke: predictions

by Simon Hilton on Fri 21 Mar 2008

The imagination of the science fiction author Sir Arthur C Clarke bubbled over with ideas about the future of science, technology and human society. BBC science and technology staff look at some that came true, and some that did not here.

1. Space elevator
2. Millennium Bug
3. Space guard
4. Communications satellites
5. Atomic travel
6. Earthquake prevention
7. Brain backup
8. People freezing

Sir Arthur’s last three wishes were for :
1. Conclusive proof of extraterrestrial life
2. Clean energy to halt global warming and
3. Peace in Sri Lanka during his lifetime.
