I love Science Fiction! Ever since I was a kid watching tv and seeing things that could never actually happen coming to life has always been fascinating to me; When I hear the term 'Movie Magic", thats what comes to mind.
I am now 20 and my state of mind is changing; as much as I still love film, 'which im trying to get into', im beginning to look into real life science to find out where our future is headed. I think one of the best ways to look forward is by looking at science fiction and try to make it an actual science.
An example of this would be a script im writing which has the tentative title 'Evolved'. In the script I have the main charcter need money, so he signs up for an experiment which in theory is supposed to make him healthier and regenerate his own body so no further medical treatment would ever be needed. Except the proceedure goes far beyond that, not only does he get faster, stronger and smarter, he developes telekinesis and telepathy. Now, the concept of my story is far fetched it may seem, but the thought
that some of it is actually being looked into excites me.
The point being is i wanted to know if someone is already looking into it. I was on a site today called ted.com "Ideas Worth Spreading", and I was checking out the technology section to find out if some of the concepts in this character of mine are already being done, and some of it is!
Of course not in the capacity i'm writing it in, some of the videos are a little older, all of which are at some point in the last decade but show some progress in there own specific field. Some talked about regrowing limbs, our minds working like computers and just being able to take out certain genes in general. One of the videos was talking about neo evolution in which we dont just wait for evolution to happen, we just do it ourselves.
The whole reason I brought up this topic in the first place is so we can look at things in science fiction and see how they can become a reality, the one im really interested in seeing is telekinesis. There was a video on the Ted site about a device you put on your head and it scans your brain waves and you can control things on a computer. I would like to see them loose the computer and see if you brain can somehow be amplified to lift objects, either for disabled people who actually need it, or for me just to have fun with like in the movie Chronicle.
It wouldn't be the first time science fiction has become a reality, space exploration for example seemed far fetched in the past but enough people believed in the possiblities that they made it real, digital books were far fecthed back in 1961 but are very real today, portable computers also seemed far fetched in the late 70's, even certian people looked to comic book heroes, decided to dress up and go out into the real world protecting others in anyway they can.
What are some fiction/science fiction ideas or concepts you think should be made into a reality?
