FROM SCI-FI TO REALITY

We saw space tourism in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It was an incredible idea. But soon Virgin Galactic will travel into space. The company is making special passenger spaceships. Trips will start in a year or two and tickets will cost $200 000.

In the film 2001: A Space Odyssey there was a self-aware computer called HAL 9000. It started as a friendly machine, but then decided to kill some astronauts in order to protect its programs. By 2019, self-aware computers like HAL 9000 will be common.

In 1956, Philip K. Dick wrote a novel called The Minority Report. Tom Cruise acted in the film version in 2002. When Cruise used his iris to prove his identity, we thought it was a crazy idea. But in a few years’ time biometric security will be normal. We will use our fingerprints, voices and eyes to log onto internet pages or buy things online.

In the 1987 television series Star Trek, the Next Generation we first saw a holodeck – a virtual reality room with a hologram projecting images and sounds. Later, we saw holodecks in X-Men, Power Rangers and Futurama. The Japanese are working on a machine to project smells. Holodecks will be part of our everyday lives in the next decade.

Some experts say that most homes will have domestic robots by 2020 and that by 2025 people will buy more robots than cars. We saw examples of domestic robots in television series like Lost in Space (1965). Domestic robots will do housework, gardening, cooking and will help children with their homework.
