cool article... and i didn't notice the comparison before .. .but interesting.
Seems to me alot of technology these days originated in sci-fi. specifically star trek.
on the original. there were personal computers, 3.5 floppy disks, transporter technology (which right now can only transmit photons or something similarly tiny) cell phones (the communicators), things like credits (todays credit and debit cards), and medical instruments like the pressure injection thing in star trek that is now available. etc etc.
or going back even further to jules vern with 20 000 leagues. a submarine
I believe that without sci-fi not as much of these things would be conceived. or at least not for a longer time. people saw these things on tv or in books and attempted to create them in modern times.
