Science fiction and the future have been seen as a new ideal for imaginitive minds. It helps create visions that can help us visualize the future. Science fiction writers predicted our present day to be more advanced than what it is. Some writers predicted flying cars. Sci- fi writers that wrote novels about the future didn't give them any special ability to foretell the future, but it did encourage them to use their past and present behaviors as guides to the kind of world we seem to be creating today. During the Golden Age of science fiction writers wrote that computers and new technology will take over. They meant that the technology will manipulate the human mind into thinking that we need technology and we can't do without it. Science fiction is like a reflection on the world, of what people don't want to happen and what they would like to happen. Ever since sci-fi had stories with new types of technology it inspired many inventors. Most of the inventors during the Golden Age tried to create new inventions like an early version of the computer. They wanted to invent somthing that would take of their work load.The inventors wanted something that would be useful then instead of the future. Most inventors failed because they didn't have the materials that were needed to create such things. were excited by sci- fi when it was dealing with the future. The people thought that the new millenium would actually bring sci-fi into real life. Once the new millenium came around many people were disappointed. A lot of people were disappointed because they were expecting flying cars and jet packs, we still are a long way from that. We are now here in the first decade of the 21st century, we may not be living in that legendary future imagined decades ago during the, but there are still advances to come.
