Warren | 1556 comments Thanks for the post. Staying alive longer was fairly high on my list.
A few of them fell into the "smell-o-vision" catagory.

I'm quite sure in the year coming there'll be more than 27 Sci-Fi things that become reality! ^_^

Michele | 1154 comments Have you seen the shows Prophets of Science Fiction http://science.discovery.com/tv-shows... on the Science Channel? There are several episodes, each focusing on a different author and his effects on real life science/technology.

Lol at least we are not eaten protein pills and wearing tin foil like the "future" from the 1960s. Flying cars would be cool though:)
