Forecast Arthur C. Clarke

As he himself says - "Personally, I have always resisted any attempts to stick to me the label" prophet. " I would prefer another term - extrapolator. All I was trying to do - is to imagine a fan of possible futures. But any thing remarkable foresight could turn into absurdity due to some unforeseen event or invention. Remember, reading predictions hazardous to your health! I'm almost sure of dates and terms. Events and technical achievements are planned today, and unless there is nothing extraordinary, it will happen and then, as I predict. Intuition does not fail me, although many predictions about a hundred times, I would prefer to make a mistake! ".

Arthur for 90 years and during his life he was read by a plurality of projections. For example it was exactly guessed: the emergence of radar to search for missiles and aircraft, the emergence of communications satellites in geostationary orbit, the moon landing and the people, the use of nuclear energy, antibiotics and computers, creating the World Wide Web, the development of artificial intelligence.
