Fiction to Reality: Smart tech origin stories

Who doesn’t love a good science fiction story? Not only does it have all the elements of any other great story, but it also has all kinds of amazing technology and weird gadgets to fawn over and wish you could make use of in your everyday life. Well, what if you woke up one day and found yourself surrounded by sci-fi tech? What if you already were waking up everyday like that?

The fact of the matter is that we are nearly halfway into the year 2014, and while we may be accustomed to utilizing the internet, our smartphones, and even wearable technology each day, the available technology we have today is something that we might not have even thought to be possible only two decades ago. It may be mundane to us now as we live each day using search engines to answer any question, or social media to capture moments and share them instantly with friends all over the world, but it truly was once the object of science fiction fantasy.

We’ve got the comparisons to prove it, as well. From Star Trek to Iron Man to 2001: A Space Odyssey, things that our parents and grandparents once wrote off as scientific impossibilities within our lifetime are now things that even children know how to use.

To check out the amazing devices we use everyday and the science fiction counterparts that potentially inspired their invention, feel free to look at our list and see for yourself!
