I have wanted to make a thread much ike this. More so saying " fantsay is pointless".
Its usefull in entertainment however thats it.
While Sci fi gives people new ideas for the future. Tech to strive for. Warnings of what to do with it when we do acheive it. The half of the stuff that was just a dream in Star trek the original serise is fact today.
Star trek next gen had people walking around with Datapads!. What do we have now? Ipads! kindles! and what not. I see buisness people useing Ipads on the go just like star trek.
While Fantasy....social issues? I realy dont see a better men of manki7nd through fantasy.
I say this because I thaugh about all these Harry Potter fans vs Star wars fans phenomenon.
Star wars while it is the old Farm boy goes on an adventure for the wizard story. It is sci fi and has us strive for that tech. While Harry potter....yeah...I dont know.
It also sticks in my craw when Scientific things are explained in such ways as Harry potter.
News was recporting on Optical camaflouge. the basic we have is concept of useing a projector to and such. While the strive in the end is almost invisbility.
News reported saying "want your very own cloak of invisibility? Just like Harry potter?"
Makes me maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
I mean enjoy fantasay....just Sci fi educates at the same time.
