Its interesting to see how science fiction movies have changed over time, the technology has improved so much that the new movies are hardly comparable to the oldest once such as Metropolis which is a silent film from, 1927 created by Fritz Lang.
Now we have got more stories behind the technology like in the movie Password Swordfish from 2001, where a professional hacker is hired by a terrorist organization to do some jobs for them. The movies have got stronger concepts and better function.
Holographic displays, or 3 dimensional images are very popular among directors and occur frequently. Forbidden Planet from 1956 is an example of 3 dimensional image, a device inherited from, the planets former inhabitants. In 1985 DNA analysis and identification was invented and from then on we got more into virtual or augmented reality.
An example of a satiric move scene is from Start Trek IV, when Spock and Scotty are on earth and supposed to use a 20th century personal computer. Scotty tried to talk to it as he is used to do on the Enterprise and of course failed. He was then advised to use the mouse, which he did – assuming that it is used as a microphone.
At that time, he used the computer mouse in a different way and its interesting how we are trying our best today to repropose the computer and make something new and fresh.
