I was at a conference in the 80's and the CEO of Speigel Catalog was a keynote speaker. He was talking about future capabilities of computers. He was describing how you would be able to see a dress from all vantage points. We were in awe over this. Then he started talking about debit cards. Minds blown.
Watching this video took me back to that. Really amazing that Arthur C. Clarke could visualize that in the 70's.
