12 modern inventions were once considered crazy ideas in the past

Sci-fi scientists always have a lot of interesting ideas. Only thing, their ideas are often far removed from reality and rarely considered true.

However, there have been many times in history when inventors and sci-fi scientists found common ground. As in modern times, the myriad of tools that we think are normal today have been judged to be the "illusions" of some ancient imaginative people.

1. Phone and Smartphone

In an interview on The New York Times in 1926, Nikola Tesla - who was dubbed the "mad scientist" - mentioned the idea of ​​people communicating with each other through a wireless device, Compact enough to fit in a vest pocket. In particular, the device also transmits images, replaces TV . and is generally the same as the description of smartphones today.

In 1964, scientist Isaac Asimov also came up with the same idea, that people could call each other anywhere via satellite systems. And you see, now we have indeed done it anywhere in the world, as long as we have the Internet.

2. Learning by technology

En L'An 2000 (also known as 21st century France) is a famous French painting set that was printed in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In it are many drawings illustrating predictions. What is the old man's history of the 2000 world?

One of the famous photos is the way of learning the future: children will wear a special device, next to the machine to insert books, grind and stuff knowledge into their heads.

Of course, we do not have such a machine, but the application of technology in learning has come true.

3. TV and headphones

In 1953, the legendary American novelist Ray Bradbury mentioned a lot of modern tools: headphones, headphones, flat panels that could emit images just like today's TVs, and also machines withdrawing money from banks operating 24/24.

More than half a century later, all became reality.

4. Transplants

In 1818, novelist Mary Shelley - author of the legendary novel Frankenstein mentioned the idea of ​​resurrecting lightning dead (electric shock) and organ transplantation.

Looking back now, many scientists have to acknowledge that Shelley's idea is really bold, because it takes hundreds of years for people to have enough technology to apply it.

5. Aerial bus

Jean-Marc Côt came up with the idea of ​​future flying ships in 1900, and he called them "airbus" (the bus bus) with the effect of transporting everyday people instead of cars.

Today, we have an airplane, even a "Airbus" aircraft carrier.

6. The era of computers

Isaac Asimov is a professor of biochemistry, but he is also famous for his predictions that come true. He soon made a judgment about the era of computer boom, that in the early 1980s the whole society would not be able to live without them, and every family would surely have to have such a machine.

Now, we even have computers worth billions.

7. Credit card

In 1888, Edward Bellamy introduced the idea of ​​a credit card, with the content being a card that allows people to spend in advance a bank-issued money.

The idea is given in the fictional novel about perfect society Utopia. Today, this is a card that many people face distorted because they have to plow money to pay debts.

8. Self-driving car

In 1969, Isaac Asimov mentioned it, but the car could operate itself without human control.

Today, people gradually master this technology. In it, Tesla and Waymo are the top 2 applications.

9. Video call

In 1910, Jean-Marc Côté made predictions about the calls that showed the speaker's image. During this period, video technology did not even exist.

10. iPad

In 1968, novelist Arthur Clark said that by 2000, paper newspapers would disappear but replaced with electronic newspapers, with the design almost like the tablet of the iPad today.

11. Social network

In 1909, Edward Morgan composed the fictional novel Machine Stops, which talked about how people would easily communicate with each other on screen - just like what happened in the Internet of today.

12. Smart bathroom

In En L'An 2000 - 1910 reprints have a picture identical to beauty centers and some similar tools with smart bathrooms today.
