Arthur C. Clarke predicting remote work in 1964. "It will be possible, perhaps only 50 years from now, for a man to conduct his business from Tahiti or Bali just as well as he could from London.” And he lived until 2008 – long enough to see the world... show more

I wonder what thoughts and incliniations he had at the time that would make him think that. Crazy.

Clarke's foresight was as remarkable as his science fiction. From typewriters to tablets, his vision of remote work aged like fine wine.

Violence against women won't stop as long Judges like Martin Nolan will bend over backwards to not only excuse but justify it. "It was prankish behavior, he didn't really mean to do it, he comes from a good home, was COVID time what was he supposed to do he was bored, and his parents will pay the fine"

Samuel J. Seymour witnessed the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln and lived long enough to tell his story on television in 1956 for the show “I’ve got a secret”. He was 5 years old when his godmother took him to see “Our American Cousin”. He sat in the balcony across from Lincoln’s presidential box. He remembered Lincoln waving and smiling as he made his way to his rocking chair. He heard the gun shot and saw Lincoln slumped forward in his chair. He didn’t understand what happened to Lincoln but was worried about the man who leaped from the box to the stage, John Wilkes Booth. Not long after this he passed away on April 12th, he was 96.

Arthur C. Clarke predicting the future of computing in 1974, with his young son Jonathan beside him: "I brought along my son Jonathan who in the year 2001 will be the same age as I am now. Maybe he will be better adjusted to this kind of world that you're trying to portray." Clarke then paints a picture of what daily life will look like when Jonathan grows up: "The big difference when he grows up is that he will have in his own house not a computer as big as this, but at least a console through which he can talk to his friendly local computer and get all the information he needs for his everyday life: his bank statements, his theater reservations, all the information you need in the course of living in a complex modern society." He describes the setup with remarkable precision: "This will be in a compact form in his own house. He'll have a television screen like these here and a keyboard, and he'll talk to the computer, get information from it, and he'll take it as much for granted as we take the telephone." But the interviewer raises a concern that still resonates today: "I wonder though, what sort of a life would it be like in social terms? I mean, if our whole life is built around the computer, that we become a computer-dependent society and computer-independent individuals in some ways?" Clarke acknowledges the tension but sees a profound upside, one that anticipates remote work decades before it became reality: "They'll also enrich our society because it'll make it possible for us to live really anywhere we like. Any businessman executive could live almost anywhere on Earth and still do his business through a device like this." He closes with a vision that has quietly come true for millions: "This is a wonderful thing. It means we won't have to be stuck in cities. We'd be better off living out in the country or wherever we please and still carry on complete interaction with human beings as well as with other computers." Half a century later, Clarke's prediction reads less like science fiction and more like a description of an ordinary Tuesday. Banking, bookings, information at our fingertips, working from anywhere, all taken as much for granted as the telephone, exactly as he said.

How can anybody hate Charlie? He respected women. He loved his wife. He had morals, values, and integrity. He was honest. He wanted everyone to have the precious love he had with his wife and the love for his kids. This is what every woman wants. To be loved. To be seen. To be adored. To be cherished. For her the same. She adored Charlie. You could see it every time he walked into a room. The way she spoke to him. Their communication. It was real. It was beautiful. The vile left took this man away from his family. Away from the world. Away from our movement. Charlie Kirk was a good man. He didn't deserve this.

In South America I saw this too A LOT Many hotels, shops and office buildings had remote security people and doormen You can see them and they can see you Not sure where they work from but might as well be the cheapest country in South America (or the world!) Remote jobs going to the next level now

I truly cannot express the impact this man made in my life. Not only as an athlete but more importantly as a man, brother, and son. From his commitment to God, to grilling and mentorship, he embodied everything a great man should be. My family and I will always miss his presence.

Frank Sinatra could sing, dance, write…and he could act. This man won the #Oscar for Best Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity. That’s right, Ol’ Blue Eyes could hold the screen as well as he could hold the mic. This is an excellent film if you’ve never seen it.

Always felt #Myskkin would stay away from such shows. That’s how he projected himself over the years with his words as well as work. To see him being reduced to a character like this is nothing but funny.

This is Inesh from the CJP protest. He said that his hunger strike would continue until Dharmendra Pradhan resigned. Later, when the doctors told him to eat or he could fall sick, he ended his hunger strike. Now he says he will remain at Jantar Mantar until Dharmendra Pradhan resigns. Let's see whether he sticks to his word this time or goes back on it again.

A South African man tells his xenophobic audience that Somalis should be denied access to healthcare in South Africa and prevented from working in hospitals. If violence against Somali shop owners weren’t enough, he now seeks to deny them basic medical care as well.
