<strong>Aaron</strong> <strong>Marcus</strong>, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 48<br />

Figure: Scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, 1968. A person on a space station is<br />

about to “phone home.”<br />

Unlike many sci-fi movies, the scene depicts actual start-up <strong>and</strong> close-down moments in<br />

computer-based telecommunication, including complex instructions depicted ina multiscreen<br />

display. Of course, the movie does overlook completely the idea that one might<br />

have small mobile phones by 2001.<br />
