Great piece of history here a television interview from 1988 with Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking, and Arthur C Clarke. The interviewer is Mangus Magnusson who asks some great questions about modern science, and existence of god.
One fascinating piece is Arthur C Clarke demonstrating the Mandlebrot set on a high end Amiga computer. I spent some time recently writing my own generator as an exercise in Qt programming. Clarke loading the pre-generated images (which apparently took 12 hours or more) worked as fast as my program generating it on the fly.
That is a great observation of modern computing power, and not my programming skills.
