Mensen roepen altijd dat Science-Fiction neppe troep is dat nooit realiteit zal worden. Natuurlijk is dat ook zo, maar zo nu en dan is realiteit raarder dan fictie. Daarom heeft de website Fear.net deze lijst met acht films die bizar genoeg letterlijk de toekomst lieten zien. Films zoals:


The Terminator Predicts Google Glass Technology

Upon the release of The Terminator in 1984, the concept of an eye-mounted computer interface seemed little more than a pipe dream. But with the advent of Google Glass, that tech is now a reality. Sure, Google Glasses are not yet designed to be implanted in our eyes, but for all intents and purposes we have access to a device that mimics the capabilities of the Terminator's retinal computer. In fact, there are also reports of a contact lens device that can project an image on to the wearer's retina, but they have not generated as much attention or demand... yet.

Total Recall's Full-Body Scans Now Standard in Airport Security

Total Recall painted a very different future than what the world actually looks like today, but the future portrayed in the film was circa 2084, so it's possible that more of its predictions may still come to pass. One thing already upon us is the full-body airport scanner. No matter what your thoughts on this controversial implementation, the full-body scan is here and now. What's so interesting about this is that a movie released 13 years before 9/11 so accurately foretold the arrival of this modern security feature.
