SciFi Is Fun and Of Critical Importance To Our Future

 

Science Fiction Expands Minds

It is no coincidence that most techies are SciFi fans. Like Ray Bradbury said, "In Science Fiction we dream." And dreaming about the best use of tech is important. Dreaming about the worst that can happen is also important as a warning. It is also interesting to note that most of us have direct experience bringing magic to people and we are also frequently in direct contact with the great creators who are making our future.
Enterprise techies and innovators also find inspiration in SciFi. It can help expand the mind in very helpful ways, which is important when imagining solutions. SciFi also comes in handy when explaining tech concepts to non techies. For example, there is a wonderful scene in Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan where Kirk remotely logs into the the Reliant to win the day. That scene is a great one to recount for people to help them understand why multi-factor authentication is important! That is one of an incredible amount of relevant lessons we can learn from studying the fantastic visions of the futue from the great creators of today’s science fiction.
We would love your thoughts on this. Has SciFi ever helped you field or create a solution ir helped you discuss a concept with others? Let us know.
