31 Sci-Fi Technologies and How They Turned Out in the Real World

31 Sci-Fi Technologies and How They Turned Out in the Real World

We've all had that moment: You're watching or reading a science fiction thing, and some imaginative piece of technology comes up, and you can't help but wonder what it would be like to have access to something like it in the real world. While most of us simply sit and daydream about these ideas, others out there have gone and tried to make those fantasies a reality. That cool holographic screen from Minority Report? Of course people at MIT were going to try to make it a thing. Countless nerds who had their imaginations set on fire by Star Wars and Star Trek were OBVIOUSLY going to try to make the fantastic technologies real in our physical space.
