‘Beam me up, Scotty,

The original 1960s TV series of, ‘Star Trek’ may now look a little dated, but its scriptwriters were light years ahead of the times…
Think about it; the ‘communicator’ which was used by each member of the Enterprise, is a dead ringer for the flip-style mobile phone of today!
Okay, so our twenty-first century skies may not be buzzing with disc-shaped crafts, but they have been created on an experimental level.
Any UFO buff will be fully aware that the US military have created several of their own real-life ‘flying saucers’ over the years.
? Communicators
Considering that Arthur C. Clarke wrote about this back in 1968, his Video Phone was pretty prophetic stuff.? But this was not the first time for a video call to have been featured in a movie…? Director Fritz Lang had used exactly the same visual communication device in, ‘Metropolis’; and that had been in 1927!!!
There have been clones in Sci-Fi stories for as long as the genre has existed.? They will normally be portrayed in a rather negative light (think,
tods loafers men
, ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’) and we are taught that doppelgangers are something to fear.
Video phones have also appeared in numerous other Sci-Fi movies (such as ‘Blade Runner’, ‘Space: 1999’ and ‘Total Recall’) over the years.? And all of these were years ahead of the real thing…
‘Brave New World’ is a fine example of genetic engineering/scientifically-created clones… and that was penned by Aldous Huxley way back in 1932!
‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ even featured a ‘National Lottery’ (complete with certain players who were convinced they had invented a sure-fire way of winning)!? Spooky.
Let’s just hope that George Orwell was wrong about everything else.? I really do hope he was!
Sci-Fi’s Crystal Ball
The dividing line between Science Fiction and Science Fact is becoming increasingly blurred.? Technology is now progressing at a truly breakneck speed and many of the gadgets only previously seen in Sci-Fi movies are turning in today’s electrical stores. So, should we be surprised to find a ‘Cloaking Device’ sitting on the shelf when we are looking for an External hard drive?
? Flying Saucers
And when you stop to consider what is happening in the world of science today, Huxley’s vision may not be so far away from Science Fact…
? CCTV Cameras
? Video Phones
It all makes you wonder if some writers and film-makers have the uncanny ability to see into the future…
If you’ve ever seen‘2001: A Space Odyssey ’, then you will probably remember one of the main characters making a ‘video phone call’ to his Earth-based daughter.
So, what other amazing gadgets can we look forward to seeing in the not-so-distant years ahead?
Whether or not there is a hidden agenda behind our legions of Closed Circuit Television systems still remains to be seen, but George Orwell certainly had his own opinions…
His novel,

, ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ was written in 1949, yet it featured a world that was littered in CCTV cameras (or ‘Telescreens’) just like ours is today.
? The Shape of Things to Come…
? Clones
Well,

These may all sound a little far-fetched. but could they actually become a reality within the next few years?
