2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Metropolis are just some of the films and series that have predicted the future. Several items, like the communicators from Star Trek, and the translator from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, were imagined well before the creation of flip-phones and live online translation tools. Films like Metropolis, on the other hand, have warned us of the potential consequences of an unchecked, technologically advanced world.
