Movie technology coming to life.
I was thinking about all of the things we see in movies and
how art imitates life and that presented a question. What is the likelihood of
us getting some of the things we see in the Marvel and DC movies coming to our
nearest Walmart or Electronics store?
Let’s start with Iron Man.
Most people have seen the movies that came out a few years
ago. They only made over 1 billion dollars. With that being said we know that
the character and the technology has been put out to the public and we can’t
get enough of it.
Iron Man or Tony Stark was a great inventor who designed and
fabricated the Iron Man Armor in a cave to save his life from terrorists. The science behind the movie is real and factual.
Tony stark was a playboy who never took anything serious except creating cool technologically advanced toys. We see this in the comics and on the big screen.
Tony was the ultimate playboy genius who was the envy of every guy and the desire of every woman. The best part about the character is the technology. He was a master at integrating his robotics and the A.I he developed. The best part was the weapon systems that were designed. This is the part that is intriguing because the US Military would love to have many of the inventions displayed in the movie.
Some of the items are already being developed. The cool phone that Stark used in Iron Man 2 to take over the screens and humiliate the Senator who was going after him.
That technology is currently being developed. We aren't quite there yet but very soon we will have the full capability to do many of the things that the phone did in the movie. Have you ever programed you phone or tablet to control your TV or VCR? Well that is the same concept that the movie was playing on.
The next thing I saw on the movie was the way Stark was using his display in his armor to get loads of information. I thought this was fascinating because he had all of the info you could ask for at his finger tips.
I saw this technology in real life in a TED talks episode a few years ago.
This was amazing to me! To see the images I saw in Hollywood come to life was simply mind blowing.
The Atlas robot is an example of the Stark technology coming to life. In our lifetime we will finally be able to see the first man wearing a suit like Iron Man. I can't wait to set my eyes upon the first soldier to wear that amazing tech. We already have Exoskeletons developed for the military.
I don't think we will see the repulsor rays anytime soon. Scientists haven't figured out how to develop an arc reactor so there isn't anything that has power to drive a weapon like that. Another piece of movie magic that I don't think we will be seeing anytime soon is the Helicarrior created by Shield.
This would be a huge feat that would be amazing but not very practical. Who knows, maybe the military is secretly working on a platform that we will see in 20 years.
I had to include the Caped Crusader in this list. Yes, Batman is also a playboy like Iron Man. the difference is that character of Batman would rather punch you in the face before he had a drink with you.
Batman is another fictional character who has some items that could be created. As you can see on the picture displayed above Batman has some gear that we can purchase right now. He also has some items that we couldn't hope to get like the Motorcycle or the All Terrain vehicle he was driving through Gotham in.
We can only hope to have the money to buy one of these cool toys to play with. You will need a few million dollars just to get in line.
I know all of the characters are fake but the science and technology is real and like most of us scientists where kids at one time and they watched all of the same shows. So we will see much of the tech come out in the next 30 years as the developers and engineers graduate college and start working
for tech companies all over the United States.
Remember this Art always imitates Life and Life imitates Art so what we see in movies today will someday become reality in our lives.
