Which of the following are real and which are science fiction?

--An ATM that gives you access to your accounts by scanning your retinas.

--A supermarket checkout counter that lets you pay for groceries with the touch of your thumb.

--Holographic billboards that call out to you by name as you walk by.

--Electronic magazines that deliver news instantly over a wireless network.

The first two exist today; the others are images from the year 2054 as depicted in Steven Spielberg's new movie, ``Minority Report.'' ...
