In 1963, a newspaper published a bold prediction: someday, people would carry their phones in their pockets. At the time, the idea seemed absurd—phones were bulky, wired devices limited to homes and offices.

Fast forward to today, and we carry not just phones but powerful smartphones capable of video calls, internet access, and AI-powered apps. It’s fascinating to see how what was once considered impossible has become part of everyday life.

This raises an important question: what current "crazy" predictions about the future might actually come true? Could it be flying cars, life on Mars, or AI doctors?

If you lived in 1963, would you have believed this prediction? And what innovation are you betting on for the next 50 years? Share your thoughts!

Yes

Why not?

Authur C Clarke predicted the internet and AI as far back as the 60s.

Actually, This Nikola Tesla prediction was made in 1926 not 1963, and it was very detailed and accurate

Coming from Tesla, I would believe it, but if it was just a random wish like Martin Luther's, I wouldnt believe that nonsense

Like those before him, Tesla trusted the future knowledge of the next generation of scientists to advance the mission of wireless transmission



Dont forget Nostradamus, he is biggest prophet since Yeshua

He was a visionary.

Most people do not dream about the future.

His foolish prediction isnt on same level as that of Nikola Tesla

Clarke was a fictional writer who felt some vacuum are still not occupied on our planet and badly wanted Science to fill it up for him

Its like dreaming to food via the internet in 2025 just cause you're hungry and lazy to go get food. Of course, it will happen someday


Tesla's is different, he had a plan, was working on it, but knew theres limited time and tech to get it done, then trusting on latter scientist to build on his info to get the things done

Clarke is like Martin Luther, they are just wishers

Without any iota of doubt, I would've.

Here; let me make mine.


Black Africa will still be a shithole by the year 2125.

Nigeria's greatest export by 2125 will still be her own people running away to Europe, the Americas and Australia for a better life.

Tesla is the goat of science but whenever I read his quote about how the world failed him I feel very sad

In the foreseeable future, the phone will be an implant in the human body like an appendage of the nervous system thanks to Elon musk and meta technology, once AI BECOMES MAINSTREAM technology.

Cars will fly.

Chips will be installed on flesh weather you agree or not.

We'll be able to visit anywhere in the world without being physically present.

The world is in cycle.

We get to the peak of advancement, face apocalypse and destruction, then start all over again living like cavemen with zero technology. Then evolve gradually again and get to the peak again. The cycles continue.

A very few have learnt to survive through time, and retain ancient knowledge and through experience, they take control of the new world and begin to release gradually the ancient technology and knowledge.
They create the school system, reintroduce a new world order, the banks, finance, technology, religion then carefully manage knowledge and call themselves elites…. The rest of you follow the matrix and work for them. You go through schools, get indoctrinated to religion and new world order, get a job, earn salary, pay debts, raise a family, retire and earn pension then die of old age or die young trying to find the meaning of life

Mtchew before nko

In the near future, there would be screenless devices ( i.e display would be in the air)

First of all i will not believed that this prediction came from 1963... is a lie... I get one app wehh go create old news paper like this....... Secondly.

Reading...

Will you believe that one day, if you just make a wish to eat, you will feel satisfied as if you have eaten without really going through the stress of eating?

Yes. Humans are intelligent and capable of great innovations. And are always evolving.

Phones will rely on body temperature for changing

I can predict that the world's currency will be domiciled in bitcoin

In the next 50 years sucking of breasts will still be in fashion, this is my prediction

MadamVanessa:



Without any iota of doubt, I would've.

I believe that someday in the future I will suck those your succulent looking breasts

I have predicted that in the nearest future…. Teleportation will be real

Scientist will discover a way to live forever on earth…

A lot of people don’t believe me…. I don’t care, because we all might not be alive to witness it…

Back in 1981, I used to think this car Citreon was a slick sports car as all other cars on the road were BOX shaped
I couldn't imagine anything slicker or faster.
Today, all cars are sports cars and 10 times faster.
