1. Mobile
Nowadays anyone who knew no cell phone or a mobile phone? A personal communication device has become an integral part of every person with mobility in large cities. Mass production has made mobile phones as a cheaper and faster means of communication.
Matt Dodson was walking with a friend.
"Speak, your phone rings."
"Oh!" Matt fumbled into his pocket and took his phone.
"Hello?"
"Oh, are you kid?" father's voice.
Quoted from the story of Space Cadet by Robert Heinlein, was published by Scribner's Sons in 1948.
2. Atom Bomb
In 1905, as part of the Theory of Special Relativity, Albert Einstein has given new understanding that large amounts of energy can be released from small amounts of material. This is expressed by the formula E = mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light quadratic).
Atomic bomb was made based on this principle.
"... Is not wise to damage by careless even with the atoms of a molecule ... "
"... A material contains enough energy ... to produce one hundred thousand tons nearly two miles ...". Then...
Heard loud cries were come from the people. "Give us the other day - only one other day!” But Brande’s give answers, "It's too late."
"It's too late!" The people mourned.
"Yes, it's too late. I've warned you a long time ago. Are you not ready? Within two hours of agent destruction will start working. There is no human power can stop him now, that every particle of matter that have been added and scattered into the air. Before I set my feet upon a rock, I put the key that will release energy that can not be separated. I have powerless against it. "
Quoted from the story of The Crack of Doom by Robert Cromie, was published in 1895.
3. GPS System
Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite navigation system is functioning properly. The system uses 24 satellites that transmit microwave signals to Earth. This signal is then received by a receiver on the surface, and is used to determine position, velocity, direction and time.
In the fictional story of The Cometeers by Jack Williamson, published by Street and Smith in 1936 that a similar tool called Cartography:
He attempted to open cartography from his belt. He has brought this small instrument to map their movements. He opened the lid and look carefully at the display.
"Where is nearly seven miles from the prison had been used," he said thoughtfully.
4. PDA
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a multifunctional tool, besides functioning as a small notebook and can explore the virtual world, PDA also functions as a cellular phone. Launched the first PDA that is a Psion Organizer with 8-bit Hitachi 6301-family processor, 4K ROM, 2K RAM battery and a single line monochrome LCD screen.
In the fictional story of The Age of the Pussyfoot by Frederik Pohl, was published by Ballantine in 1965, PDA type devices called Joymarker, as well as mobile phones and PDAs, also feature a function for instruments of payment or credit card.
Some excerpts from the book:
The principle is clear enough about him. The tool is an input-output station, which is controlled by a computer program that divided his time, with a particular installation that functioned as a tube pocket, First aid equipment, cosmetic bags, and others. Perhaps it can be equated with a stick magician.
Transponder computer with access controlled from a distance is called "joy maker" is the only valuable your equipment in your life new. If you can imagine a combination of phone, credit cards, alarm clock, pocket notes, reference libraries, and the secretary 24 hours, you already have a partial description of the functions provided by your Joy maker.
5. Credit Card
For those of you who do not want to bother carrying cash can store them electronically on a card called a credit or debit card. Cards are easy to carry in your wallet is also called plastic money. With this card you can shop without having to meet the wallet with bills thick enough.
"An appropriate credit with an annual share of the national product is given to every citizen in public accounting at the beginning of each year, and a credit card issued to that which can be obtained at the public storage place in every community, whatever and whenever desired. This setting, you will see, are fully replace other means to transact between individuals and the customers. Perhaps you are interested to see how it shapes our credit cards."
Excerpted from the book Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy, was published in 1888.
6. Scuba Diving
Deep-sea diving down is part of the underwater exploration activities, both the studies of life at sea or for the purposes of development of oil mines. For that purpose the necessary diving equipment such as special clothing and helmets equipped with an anti-water air tube for breathing under water.
"You know well as I do, Professor, that man can live under water, provided that they carry enough supplies air to breathe. At work beneath the sea, wrapped in the clothes of workers can not penetrate the water and is equipped with a helmet on his head made of metal, receives air from above with the help of pumps and regulators. "
"It is a tool diver," I said.
"Absolutely, but in this case people are not free. He is quite dependent on the pump which sends him air through a rubber hose, and if we have to like it, so we are depending on the Nautilus, we could not go far."
Quoted from 20.000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, published in 1875 by Various years.
7. DVD
DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), which first made his proposal in 1993 is the next generation after the CD (Compact Disc) found in the late 80s. DVD is the discovery of many parties from some of the world's electronics companies formed a consortium including Hitachi, JVC, Matsushita, Mitsubishi, Philips, Pioneer, Sony, Thomson, Time Warner, and Toshiba. With the ability to store power six times greater than CD, DVD picture quality and is able to present a more perfect sound.
He composed this strange cylinder arrange for a while and put it back. Then he headed into a square-shaped tool, and try it. He opened the lid and found one of a double cylinder in it, and at the upper edge of an electric button. He pressed this section and a quick click start and then stop. He was aware of the sounds and music, and watching the game interesting color on a soft surface. He suddenly realized what had happened, then stepped back for more attention to it.
On the flat screen looks a little picture, with bright colors, and in this picture there are figures to move. Not only moves, but they're talking to that little voice clarity. That's exactly like in the real world when looking through a reversed opera glasses and hearing through a long tube. His interest on the capturing a situation, when it appeared a man walked up and down and angry with a beautiful woman who was also angry. Both are beautiful uniforms that look strange to Graham.
Excerpted from When the Sleeper wakes story by HG Wells, was published in 1899.
8. Laser
LASER is an acronym for Light amplification by stimulated Emission of the radiation. In 1917, Albert Einstein first theorized about the process of laser maker called "stimulated emission". In 1954, Charles Townes and Arthur Schawlow find the maser (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) that use ammonia gas and microwave radiation. Then the inspired maser, Gordon Gould makes laser optics began in 1958.
Suddenly there was a flash of light, and greenish smoke emerged from the sparkling little hole in three separate blast, soar upwards, one after another into the air of calm.
This smoke (or flame, perhaps, would be better with that word) are very bright blue sky where the minister on it and stretch the faint brown color to the direction of Chertsey, matched with black pine-wood, seemed to be fading fast as when This gust came, and again became darker after sirnanya. At the same time a sibilant sound.
Quoted from a fictional story of The War of the Worlds by HG Wells, was published in 1898.
9. Videophone
The name "videophone" in general use around 1950, although the word "video telephone" may have known earlier after the noun 'video' found in 1935. The term is distinguished from videoconferencing videophone where the first is more intended to serve individuals, not groups. The term is often also known as the videophone video calls, associated with the use of the verb is video calling. Mobile at this present time is using 3G technology with the help webcam to take pictures of the speaker.
This morning Mr. Fritz Napoleon Smith awoke from sleep in a very bad humor. His wife toward France eight days ago and she felt despair. Who did not seem plausible is within 10 years of their marriage, for the first time Mrs. Edith Smith, a professional model and also his long absences from home; two or three days is usually sufficient for him to take a walk to Europe. The first thing Mr. Smith is phone telephone activate it, the cables that connect it with a mansion in Paris.
Telephone! This is a great victory of modern science. Shipping voice is an old story, with the help of a mirror image delivery sensitive and connected through the wires is a thing of yesterday. It is a very valuable discovery. This morning Mr. Smith was full of blessing for creators, because with the help of tools of this creation, he is able to clearly see the face of his wife, although in a very large distance.
This translation is quoted from In the Year 2889 by Jules Verne, was published in 1889.
10. Robot
The first industrial robot was found by Dr. Engelberger in the early 1960s, who worked for a company called Union Mate. Learn about the first type of industrial robots, which are still used in industrial plants today, with information from a professor of electrical equipment and machines in the free video on robots.
The following story about R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) was first performed in Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1921.
The word "robot" is derived language of Czechoslovakia "robota" which means "boring job" or "slavery". A robotnik is a servant who performs menial jobs.
Domin: "The fact speaking, what is the best type of workers?"
Helena: "The best? Maybe one of them is an honest and dedicated."
Domin: "No, the best worker is the cheapest. One person who is needs the least. Rossum Young throwing everything not directly related to employment, and in doing so he almost refused to humans and creates a robot."
Quoted from RUR, by Karel Capek was published in 1920.
11. Wireless Access Point
In the computer network, a wireless access point (WAP or AP) is a device that makes wireless communications equipment connected to a wireless network using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or standards that are linked. WAP is usually connected to a network that is equipped, and can be re-broadcast of data between wireless devices (like computers or printers) and equipped with devices on the network.
At the time of walking with Mr. Barnstaple he said he would hear from his mother, and Mr. Barnstaple showed his correspondence in Utopia. Crystal carried a small roll of wire and a light bar, and soon came to a place where there is a pole stuck in the middle of the lawn. He spread this thing like a long swing to a cat and a small touch on the pole with a lock and then takes a light gold chain around his neck. Then he picked up a receiver hooked up with its appliances, and spoke out loud and listens to, and immediately heard the sound.
That is a very pleasant female voice. Equipment was talking to Crystal for a while without interruption, and then Crystal talked back, after that there are other voices, some of Crystal and answer some of the people he heard no answer. Then he gathered the equipment again. This is a lesson for Mr. Barnstaple on the utopian counterparts from letters and phone calls. For in Utopia, unless there is a previous arrangement, people can not talk together when at the same time dial number.
A message sent to the station area where the recipient was known, and there were messages waiting until he's choosing the messages being collected. And each of those messages to be repeated is repeated. Then he talked back to the sender and the delivery of other messages that are expected.
Small poles supplying electricity for transmission or for any other purpose required Utopia people.
