Science Fiction & Magic Technology

The Martian opened few weeks ago with rave reviews. Science fiction writer only need the germ of scientific possibility to develop the latest and greatest tech devices. While there are the sticklers who point out why things cannot happen that way because in today’s world the problems have not been resolved. There is a lot of disrupted tech out there now which may never see the light of day due to business, market and competitive conditions. Just think if we produce a car that got a 100 miles to the gallon what happens to the auto industry and energy sector. What about a clothing material that never got dirty, good bye cleaners and Proctor and Gamble lock on laundry detergent. What about wireless power, hmm not really thought about the down side for this one. Technology has already made some really cool break through and some have used old tech in new ways to create some innovation and value.
 
Science fiction and even science fantasy may not be that far fetch as they strive for the ultimate in possibilities... Some of my favorite sci-fi books are: Dune (the whole series), Venture to Darkness (hey I wrote this one ;-), Star Trek (most of the series). The Martian (I’ll have to read the book before I see the movie),
 
What is your favorite Sci-fi Book? Movie? TV show?
