OT: how fast the technology changes Science Fiction Future

It's interesting which futuristic tech has been realized since science fiction writers started speculating.

I was pretty sure I'd be vacationing on the moon by now. Not even close.

As for 2001, HAL is not quite here yet, in some ways Clockwork Orange is more applicable.

We are pretty close to Tricorders, universal translators, wrist communicators.

We don't have flying cars, and few of us even have flying vehicles.

I don't remember ever seeing a laptop computer in the movies until there were laptops.

The future is hard to predict.
