2019 - Blade Runner predictions (1 Viewer)

[titch]

The first film I'm screening on New Year's Day will be the 4K disc of the original Blade Runner. There are quite a few articles around about what the film "got right and wrong about 2019"

The creators sure never saw driverless cars, the Internet and flatscreen TVs coming. But gene technology, sex robots and miniature cameras are here!

Quite! Doesn't look like auto spell kicks in for thread headings.

Sex robots!!!

Wonder if Ridley Scott had any idea how far it would go? Now we’re getting sex robot brothels.
Sheesh!!

Taken care of!

I'm one who believes less that sci fi predicts future technologies but more that it inspires them to come to fruition.

There are sex robot brothels? Boy am I out of touch.

Someone tried to set up one in Houston (a sex robot brothel) a month or so ago. It inspired the city council to ban them and then the Harris County (where Houston is located) commissioners voted on banning them county wide.

I'm still not entirely sure the driverless car thing is going to come to full fruition. I believe at least in the near future (20 or 30 years) it'll be limited to large urban areas and only on predetermined routes.

I’m feel confident that there will be widespread use of driverless cars in 30 years. Why do I feel this way? Because I’m gonna be dead in 30 years!

I'm composing this post from a sex robot brothel I traveled to in my driverless car. The weird part is the car's GPS voice system jealously complained about taking me here and warned me the car might not be there when I come out.

Well, how did it turn out? I love happy endings.

Wait don’t reply. Some things are better left to the imagination.

Sorry but happy endings cost more ... I'm told

There is NOTHING resembling a flat screen TV in Blade Runner

Except the Jumbotron clone

Appears the car has broken up with me and insisted I get some counseling. It won't drive me anywhere now except to a therapist's office.

Maybe we’ll see a resurgent Pan Am pop up in the next few days.

There is a new Atari coming out supposedly, but it might just be vaporware. Doubt it’ll be the dominant force it appears to be in BR...
