Can we all remember gadgets or scenarios in fictional movies or books that we we're in awe of, that actually ended up becoming reality?

Like the original startrek, where they could amazingly talk on little gadgets where you could see the person talking!

Anything become reality that you are aware of?

The book in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I suppose a tablet with internet access and voice would be nearest thing.

Yes. He called it an arial screw. He also drew hang-gliders and parachutes

I remember watching Demolition Man as a kid thinking that self driving cars would never be a thing and they are currently in development.

Plus Sylvester Stallone having a phone call with someone on his TV? As if!

Wonder if the three sea shells will happen though.

But the bamboo helicopter from 300BC is a closer relation to the modern helicopter
