Perhaps a film like 'Elysium,' which premieres Friday, will give the audience a glimpse of life in the next generation. After all, 'Star Wars' (1977) and 'Blade Runner' (1982) sure did.

EPGL TECHNOLOGY IS IN DEMAND, I don't need to hear how it seems too SCI-FI to be possible or relevant.

Before you scoff at this notion and hop on your iPad to watch a live feed from across the planet — remember when that would have seemed far-fetched? — consider how science-fiction films from the recent past have accurately predicted how we live and work today.

Google Glass, the driverless car and robots all had roots in films such as Blade Runner (1982), Back to the Future (1989) and Total Recall (1990). Indeed, engineers and designers at Google, Apple and elsewhere will tell you that these far-out-there films fed their imaginations and helped — at least in part — fuel the technology explosion of the past generation.

"You see so many dreamers today because there are so many ideas floating on social media. It's bred a much faster cycle of what-ifs?" says Justin Maguire, lead designer for Frog Design, which helped create the look for Apple Macintosh computers and the Sony Trinitron TV set. "There's almost nothing we can't build today."

An evolution in the way tech companies now develop products — with an emphasis on bold design, simplicity and ease of use — has been sparked, in part, by sci-fi films of yesteryear. Who knows? An onslaught of forthcoming films such as Elysium, Ender's Game, Riddick and Gravity might offer a peek into the next few decades, according to experts in tech and sci-fi.

"I grew up obsessed with Star Trek, so naturally when I bought my first smartphone I immediately set the background to look like a tricorder (a handheld device used for sensor scanning and data analysis)," says Matt Carver, 30, senior technologist at Big Spaceship, a creative-design agency in Brooklyn, N.Y. "Watching (Star Trek character) Geordi LaForge effortlessly swipe and tap his touch-screen computers is still the inspiration for a lot of how I want users to feel when they interact with a site I've built."


Sci-fi movies from the previous four decades offer an uncanny glimpse of the future worlds of robots, health care, travel and warfare. For instance, experts now predict that within 10 years general-purpose robots — at $25,000 to $30,000 per unit — will perform household chores while consumers are at work; or serve as butlers at cocktail parties.

"We are putting robots into people's lives," says Sarjoun Skaff, co-founder and chief technology officer of Bossa Nova Robotics, which is developing a robot maid modeled after The Jetsons' Rosie for less than $5,000.

A particularly fertile period for sci-fi films was the 1970s, '80s and '90s, a time when computers, transistors and space exploration made enormous strides, says Jaron Lanier, who coined the term "virtual reality" and founded VPL Research, the first company to sell virtual-reality goods in 1984. He consulted on Minority Report, where he built prototypes for a glove interface Tom Cruise used to swipe commands on a virtual screen, as well as 3-D ads on digital surfaces that appeal to the desires of individuals as they walk by.

The grandeur of Star Wars (1977) "prompt you to dream," says 30-year-old Chris Petescia, co-founder and chief product officer of Carrot Creative, a digital-agency in Brooklyn. "Designers have visions, but they are often based on things they think are practical."

The firm's design for the Hue HD Webcam — a goose neck connecting the camera to the top of a laptop — was inspired by robots with tentacles in The Matrix and invading spacecrafts with long necks from Steven Spielberg's 2005 version of War of the Worlds, says Petescia, who was 24 when he designed the Hue.

Google sells advertising and submits patent apps to pump their stock, knowing they will produce nothing but prototypes and small batches of crap to facilitate the pump. They even tell you the majority of the patents they own will go nowhere.

Billions are not directly proportional to brains...
