Lol, indeed there's not much people can invent that hasn't been covered yet. But I have hope. :D

Erm...yes. Quite.

And as for new technology, Styxx: Sci-Fi didn't predict the mass explosion of computers, for example. Look at 2001 - in the film they just used "space age biros" to make notes, but we have PDAs and the like. I'm sure there's a load of stuff that will be invented that people haven't predicted accurately. Of course it's easy to be vague and say there will be "interstellar travel"...but that's not exactly rocket science (pun fully intended, of course) :D

Next thing you know, all military ground vehicles will have this ability.

 


Not without paying us stupidly large amounts of money. Still its naive to think we know everything, we dont. Science is always catching up with Sci-fi, and we cant predict what technologies or advances we will make in a thousand years.

And Venom, perhaps, but not quite as bad as getting some molten metal on your face. :devil:


hmm, to me, getting molten metal or a bullet in the head doesn't make much difference I guess, an, in fact, you might even survive the molten metal in some circumstances ;)

True - but then again, several other sci-fi works predicted PDAs and similars. The problem is the sheer number of sci-fi publications out there (the infinite monkeys with typewriters analogy).

That's one of my life-time ambitions. To actually get together 40 million chimps, monkeys and apes, sit them infront of type-writters and whip them till they've written me the thousand best novels ever written.

Force fields, eh? Cool. Too bad we'll have to wait until the 24th century to get shields from the Shivans.

Monkeys... typewriters... hmm... I read an interesting article on that truism a few years ago in the Washington Post. Something about it being true, but with an asterisk. And that not only would they write Hamlet, but also every other Shakespearian work, and that letter you wrote to your girlfriend yesterday, and the Great American Novel that will not be published until 2047, and everything else that ever has been and ever will be written. Including the entire contents of the HLPBB. :blah:
