Science Fiction has a lousy record of predicting the future.

I don't know - watch "Blade Runner" again. ;)

Blade Runner is among my favorite films of all time. But flying cars, space colonies, and replicants by 2019? Somehow I doubt it.

My cell phone looks a lot like Captain Kirk's "Communicator" from 1966.

You can see that Battlestar Galactica was influenced by Blade Runner..
