00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:02,200
<i>Interviewer:</i>
Now, with that movie, 2001,

2
00:00:02,300 --> 00:00:04,600
you are projecting us into the 21st century.

3
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:06,500
I've brought along my son Jonathan

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,500
who in the year 2001 will be

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,700
the same age as I am now.

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:11,800
Maybe he will be better adjusted to

7
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:14,700
this kind of world that you're trying to portray.

8
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,900
<i>Clarke:</i>
The big difference when he grows up,

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,600
in fact he wouldn't want to wait till the year 2001,

10
00:00:19,700 --> 00:00:22,200
is that he will have, in his own house,

11
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:23,700
not a computer as big as this,

12
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,300
but at least a console

13
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:27,800
through which he can talk

14
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:29,700
to his friendly local computer

15
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,100
and get all the information needs

16
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,600
for his everyday life,

17
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:33,700
like his bank statements,

18
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,000
his theater reservations,

19
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:38,200
all the information you need

20
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:41,200
in the course of living in our complex modern society.

21
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:44,000
This will be in a compact form

22
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:46,100
in his own house.

23
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,600
He'll have a television screen like these here

24
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:49,600
and a keyboard and he'll talk

25
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:51,100
to the computer and get information from it.

26
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,300
And he'll take it as much for granted

27
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,400
as we take the telephone!

28
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,300
<i>Interviewer:</i>
I wonder what sort of a life would it be like

29
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,400
in social terms if our whole life is

30
00:00:59,500 --> 00:01:01,300
built around a computer.

31
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,600
Do we become a computer-dependent society,

32
00:01:02,700 --> 00:01:04,300
and computer-dependent individuals?

33
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,600
<i>Clarke:</i>
In some ways, but they'll

34
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:07,600
also enrich our society.

35
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,500
Because it will make it possible as

36
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,600
to live anywhere we like.

37
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,200
Any businessman, an executive,

38
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:15,700
could live almost anywhere on Earth

39
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,500
and still do his business

40
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:18,600
through a device like this.

41
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:20,100
And this is a wonderful thing!

42
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,600
It means we won't have to be stuck

43
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:23,400
in cities, but live out in the

44
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:24,800
country or wherever we please

45
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:27,600
and still carry on complete interaction

46
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:30,900
with human beings, as well as with other computers.
