What do you think technology is gonna be like? It seems like whenever we make predictions for this kind of stuff, the predictions always reflect current technology and disregard what is actually in development. Take for instance Blade Runner. The movie shows flying cars and stuff, but the televisions in the movie are the size of the televisions that they had when the movie was being made. Or in Isaac Asimov's I, Robot, the people had to deal with issues of robots going rampant, but they could have fixed so many of their issues if they had video or tape recorders which were not around whenever the book was written! :O
I think the movie i, Robot, with Will Smith, is probably the best depicted prediction that I've seen for a movie... It just seems right to have a mix of old grudge machinery mixed with newer, sleeker robot designs.
What do you guys think?
