Watch Arthur C. Clarke Predict Today's Technology Back In 1976 [video]

TechTimes.com reports that 10 years ago, the world was a completely different place. Nobody knew what an iPhone was, Internet speeds were a fraction of what they are today, and no one thought they’d ever carry a tablet around in their bag.
