Everybody ofscience Fiction writers to the billionaire Tech Gurus to animated sitcoms told us what tomorrow is holder and their track records were surprisingly on money. From the exact date ofJames Dean'sDeath to a vision of mobile phones before 1910, here are 30 predictions that no one expected to come true, and yet it is exactly what happened.

Of all the future predictions made inStanley Kubrick's masterpiece,2001: a spatial odyssey, there is one thatthe film Fully right. These are not the lunar colonies or zero gravity care hostesses, but rather the tablet used by astronauts that look almost identical to today's iPads.

AuthorArthur C. Clarke described inThe 1968 novel of the same nameThese devices have been called "logs" and could be connected "in the ship's information circuit (TO). Scan the latest parts of the Earth. The stamp size rectangle would grow until He thoroughly fill the screen. When (an astronaut) had finished, he would flash on the full page and select a new topic for a detailed review. "Unfortunately, neither Kubrick Nor Clarke lived to see the iPad getreleased in 2010.

At the beginning of the 20th century, home phones were still a relatively new innovation. So it was bold forNikola Tesla, an engineer and an inventor who has worked briefly withThomas Edison, to suggest, in 1909, that thousands of people would walkwith phones in their pockets.

But, as he explained toThe New York Times, "It will soon be possible to transmit wireless messages around the world, so that any individual can carry and exploit his own device."

Booth on zanzibar, a science fiction novel from 1969 awarded in 2010, was justTwo letters out of the name of the name not so common of the True President. How do you start explaining that? AuthorJohn Brunner Also planned DVR, new satellite, terrorist threats and legal marijuana. But we still can not overcome this character "President Obomi".

Leave it to an author of the Science Fiction of College-Dropout-Science-Science Fiction to propose the idea of ​​credit cards. The concept was introduced for the first time inEdward Bellamy's 1888 Roman,Looking backand as a characterexplain it, each person receives a physical perfunie card "with which it gives public stores, found in all the communities, whatever it desires when it desires. This arrangement, you will completely see the need for commercial transactions of any type between individuals and consumers. "

It is a utopian vision of the future, although many credit card owners do not agree with this set "all that he wanted each time he wishes" especially after the invoice of last month!

To be fair, a lot of fiction imagined what it could be as if human beings were able to fly on the moon. CornFrom the Earth to the moon, a new Author Roman 1865Jules Verne, is getting closer to more details than most details. Of course, the general principle was a little stupid - a giant cannon shot a projectile inhabited in space - but it wrote about theweightlessness that astronauts have livedSomething an author in the middle of the 19th century would have no way of knowing.

Verne also predicted that there would be three astronauts on this first moon mission, although his astronauts never walked on the moon - and that Tampa, Florida, would be the launch site. (The Apollo 11 mission launched in the Kennedy Space Center, close to Orlando.)

Fourteen years before the unfortunateTitanicHitting an iceberg en route to New York, killing 1,517 people in the Atlantic Ice, AuthorMorgan Robertson Eliminate a tragedy tale to the sea called "Futility, or the wreck of Titan", in which a boat supposed to be "predicable" sank after hitting an iceberg. The similarities are really frightening, until the name of the boatTitan-But asTitanic learnedPaul Heyer Explainin an interview, Robertson was far from a prophet.

"It was an experienced sailor and he saw ships like being very vast and the danger possible that one of these Behemoths would hit an iceberg."

The first main organ transplant occurred in 1954, but chemistRobert Boyle had already predicted his arrival more than 300 years earlier. Boyle, who was often called "the father of modern chemistry", created a "wish list"For the future, imagine all the advances waiting for humanity in the coming years. Almost all his predictions have been realized, including his conviction that a day science would be able to cure all diseases" by transplantation ".

Of course, we have not yet poorly healed "all" diseases yet, but organ transplants have madedeadly diseases less deadly. The fact that he made this prediction in 1660, when the medical world knew so little to know how the internal organs actually worked, is a little incredible.

No, it was notAl Gore Who invented the internet. But the first person to dream of the possibilities of a connected global community is just as surprising.Mark TWAIN I imagined such a future in his history of 1898 "from the London Times" of 1904 ", where he introduced readers to something called" telelectroscope "that used the telephone system to create a global network for sharing the sharing of information.

This innovation,TWAIN wrote, would do "the daily acts of the globe ... visible to everyone and in an audibly questionable way, by witnesses separated by a number of leagues." The next time you use Twitter and YouTube, always remember that the guy who wroteAdventures of Huckleberry Finn thought first.

The first atomic bomb was abandoned on Hiroshima, Japan, August 6, 1945. The second was abandoned in Nagasaki a few days later. But the first atomic bomb "fictitious" was abandoned inH.G. Wells' 1914 NovelThe world is free.

"Museums, cathedrals, palaces, libraries, galleries of masterpieces and a vast accumulation of human achievement whose carbonized remains are buried"he wrote, "A legacy of curious material that only future generations can hope to examine".

Back in 1987,Omni Magazine interviewed the popular film criticismRoger Ebert and asked him to predict the future ofmovie theater. It was an ambitious demand for a guy whose work involved notation movies by putting his thumb up or down, but he took a stab.

"You will not go to a video store, but to order a movie on demand, then to pay it. Videocassette Bands As we know now will be obsolete to show prerecorded movies and to record movies." Two inches for this prediction!

Alexander Graham Bell, better known to most people as a phone inventor, has made a surprising warning inA document of 1917.

What will we do, he wondered, in a piece ofNational Geographicwhen all oil and coal dry?

Bill Gates did not become one of therichest people living without bold and risky ideas. Back in 1999, he made adozen predictions, all seemed absurd at the time, but some were finally coming to the passage. A forecast in particular seemed particularly scandalous, even if we approached a new millennium. "The constant video streams of your home will become common," wrote Gates, "who will inform you when someone visits while you're not at home."

It may have seemed similar to science fiction, but now devices like the nest, Netgear and the Amazon ring allow you to not only monitor your home by far, but also change the temperature, check the detectors of Smoke and even respond to the door via a video chat.

The simpsons makes a lot of strangely precise predictions on the futureThey enjoyed jokingly thisDonald Trump Become President, for one thing, but every show so often has helped change the course of history.

But when the intimidator writes "Beat Martin," the device translates his handwritten as "eating Martha".

Nearly two decades later,Nitin GanratFormer Apple's Engineering Director for iOS applications, said this mortified moment inspired the new iPhone software improved.
