6 Sci-fi technologies you didn't know that already exist

Most of the science fiction we can see in the films, read in the books, see on the internet, but most of the things that were science fiction in the movies now are reality.


There are some good films that show about AI and for now that's sci-fi, but in the next 10 years or less that could be reality.

For example, the film Chappie is about scientist that make code for robots so they are able to feel, think, learn and do the same things like humans. He installs the code into a police robot that was thrown in the trash. The robot was able to learn, talk, thing and feel.

Another good film is Transcendence. It's also about scientist that got shot by a criminal group. The bullet contained radioactive metals and he wasn't able to live for a long. His wife and his friend, tried to copy him on a computer. After they transferred his consciousness on the computer he expanded on the internet. After long years of work, he created particles that regenerate and that are controled by him. he cleaned all the water, air, regenerated all the woods, but the people thought that he is a threat for the world and they shut down the internet.


1. Star trek comunicator => mobile phone

Early Sci-Fi flicks and tv shows of the often featured actors using some sort of devices to wirelessly talk to each other over long distances. For instance, the Communicator from Star Trek. We already use these communication devices and call them mobile phones. Yes, the future tech of the past has become a necessity for the common people now. And it is available as cellular phones. A popular name is a smartphone.

2. Fingerprint and eye scanners => biometrics

Remember those movies featuring secret locations of security agencies which could only be accessed using fingerprint recognition or by scanning the face of a person.

Other than fingers, there were eye scanners. Steven Spielberg’s Minority report showed Tom Cruise replacing his eyes to hide his real identity. He also kept his original eye so that he could get past the eye scanner system. But that’s not possible in the real world even if you manage to remove your eyes or fingers. This is because modern eye scanners can detect whether the eye is alive or dead.

3. Batmobile => Autonomus cars

There was a Batmobile in the 1960s Batman tv series. Batman used a remote control to call it to pick him up. The 2002 Tom Cruise movie Minority Report also featured a self-driving car which was custom designed by Lexus. In reality, the car was a computer-controlled vehicle which also had manual driving options. Now, we have the Google Self-driving cars and the Tesla Model S with the autopilot feature.



4. Food Replicator => 3D printer

Remember wow the Jetson's machines threw food at the press of a button. And now, we have 3D printers which can be used to make houses, bridges, prosthetic limbs, etc. We can expect a food making 3D printer in the coming years.

Barcelona-based Natural Machines is working on a 3D printer that can throw delicious dishes at the push of a button. Known as Foodini, the 3D food printer is based on an open capsule model in which the user has to put ingredients inside the capsule and place it inside Foodini. It’ll figure out the rest.

5. Rosie - The robot maid => Robots

Another Jetsons tech was Rosie, the robot maid. Self-sufficient robots have been visualized in movies since the early 1900s. Now the robots are real and they have human characteristics. Thanks to the development of AI that these robots can interact almost like normal humans. But it’s a long road for them to understand human emotions. Movies like Ex Machina are a significant depiction of the advancement in robotics and AI.

6. The transformers

Everyone knows about the famous autobots from the Transformers movie series. Most of us have watched it. Until now the transformers were unreal, but a Turkish company named Letvision had developed its own transformers known as Letrons.
