The Future is Now: 10 Futuristic Tech Predictions that Came True

Although the term “sci-fi” wasn’t coined until 1954, the concept of science fiction has existed ever since humans gazed up at the stars and wondered at the many possibilities. Countless books, TV shows, and movies have presented new, exciting visions of a life filled with aliens, space travel, and futuristic technology. But the growth of our actual technology blurs the line between fiction and reality.

AV Concepts has played its part in that with all kinds of new AV solutions and technologies, including 3D projection mapping and holographic projection. As the years go by, technology grows and science strives to improve and innovate our everyday lives. Maybe someday our lives will look like the set of a futuristic sci-fi movie.

Until then, take a look at our infographic below for an entertaining look at some current tech that originally appeared in classic films, as well as some futurist technology that is on the horizon.

Social Media and the Law Infographic

Many users of social media are unclear on the rules and regulations that apply to conversation in the online world. There are in fact several laws that cover sites like Facebook and twitter, designed to improve the safety of users and prevent harassment or online abuse.

The general gist of these laws is that anyone sending messages, tweets or posts that are offensive, indecent or cause another party anxiety can be seen as guilty. The punishments for this behaviour include arrest, fines and even imprisonment!

There have been many incidences of cases where the law has come down hard on misusers. One man was jailed for 1 year and 243 days after he harassed his wife through Facebook. Two other men were jailed for 4 years for creating an event on Facebook that encouraged a riot. Check out the infographic to see more about these laws, who has broken them and what the result was.
