RE: Some Science Fiction predictions that have become reality!

in #predictions7 years ago

I enjoy this myself, and like to see new technology come up that mirrors the stuff we see in SciFi too. The older the SciFi, the more impressive that they were able to project useful devices so far ahead.

It is a challenging medium for a writer; you need to be a writer, as well as a scientist and a engineer, with a crystal ball in your back pocket! :)

Sort:  

Sometimes I think its not a crystal ball but their own imagination that nudges technology in the right direction, they aren't prediting, they are causing!

There is some truth to that for sure, but some that were from a century before shows a grasp of yet undiscovered science, and those are especially impressive.

Verne and Wells had great vision, before there was a science to direct! :O
