L51-3: Predicting the future

Bagrit foresaw a time when computers would be small enough to hold in the hand,

when they would be capable of providing information about traffic jams and suggesting alternative routes,

when they would be used in hospitals to help doctors to diagnose illnesses,

when they would relieve office workers and accountants of dull, repetitive clerical work.

All these computer uses have become commonplace.

Of course,

Leon Bagrit could not possibly have foreseen the development of the Internet,

the worldwide system that enables us to communicate instantly with anyone in any part of the world by using computers linked to telephone networks.

Nor could he have foreseen how we could use the Internet to obtain information on every known subject,

so we can read it on a screen in our homes and even print it as well if we want to.

Computers have become smaller and smaller,

more and more powerful and cheaper and cheaper.

This is what makes Leon Bagrit's predictions particularly remarkable.

If he, or someone like him, were alive today,

he might be able to tell us what to expect in the next fifty years.
