10 movie gadgets that don't exist, which is a pity

Space technologies, spy gadgets, machines for moving in space and time. We remembered fantastic devices that would be useful to us in life.

Neuralizer - "Men in Black"

Cool agents and their memory-erasing device have long been a meme. Just imagine how many awkward situations you could have avoided with such a contraption. Never again would I have to suffer from insomnia from the thought “in that conversation it was necessary to answer in a different way”.

Flying Car - "The Fifth Element"

One of the main attributes of the future in the minds of many directors. "The Fifth Element", "Back to the Future", "Total Recall", "Blade Runner", "Black Lightning" - you can go on for a long time. Several companies are already developing prototypes of flying cars. But in the coming years, you should not expect mass production. For ordinary car enthusiasts, a flying car will still be just a dream.

Warp Drive - Star Trek

This technology allows the spacecraft to move between galaxies so quickly that astronauts do not even have time to get bored. It is difficult to imagine how our knowledge of space and worlds outside the solar system would grow if we had a warp drive. Alas, so far it is only a tool in the hands of science fiction writers.

Time machine - "Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession"

The unit in various modifications and representations is found in science fiction films ("Back to the Future", "Continuum"), comedies ("Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession"), action films ("Terminator: Genisys") and dystopias ("12 monkeys "). But not all the heroes of these paintings are happy to have the opportunity to travel to time. If technology became available to anyone, it is unlikely that we would be able to avoid the worldwide chaos. Maybe it's good that the car is just a fiction.

Remote control - "Click: with remote control for life"

Every spectator of the film must have dreamed of such a remote control. The boring meeting dragged on for several hours - we pick up the remote control and rewind the meeting, want to sleep longer in the morning - put the world on pause and enjoy the rest. At the climax of the picture, the hero proves that the idea is a failure: in life you need to value every moment. Although, perhaps we would have come to different conclusions if the remote control was real.

Iron Man Suit - "Iron Man"

In the entire history of the MCU, Tony Stark has created 85 costumes. Durable and lightweight, they allowed flight, possessed artificial intelligence, and some even self-healing. Such a suit is primarily a weapon. But its main detail could be use for peaceful purposes. After all, this is a pocket-sized controlled thermonuclear fusion reactor - an incredibly powerful source of energy.

Health Diagnostic Capsule - "Passengers"

An invention of incredible utility. A person lies down inside the capsule - and after a couple of minutes, artificial intelligence gives out a complete list of his diseases. And if necessary, he can also carry out the operation. True, if such a device appeared in reality, doctors would have to retrain into programmers.

Mother-robot - "Child of the robot"

The film tells about a robot that raised and educated a girl. According to the law of the genre, the picture begins utopian. "Mom" wishes only the best for the pupil: she teaches, supports, looks after, takes care. The robot does not get angry, cannot prejudice the ward, knows the answers to all questions, and the program code does not allow him to harm the child - very convenient. But the ending of the film convinces that artificial intelligence still needs to be watched by a person who knows how to feel and love.

Virtual partner in life - "She"

"She" is an operating system that allows a person not to feel lonely. This is a friend, an interlocutor, and a beloved. Almost like voice assistants "Alice" or Siri, only on a larger scale. "She" does not care how successful, financially secure and beautiful you are. "She" communicates with a person. How not to fall in love with one? If we return to reality, it becomes clear that artificial intelligence will not replace a person anyway. But what if AI can Become a friend for people with autism, for example?

Jetpack - "Ball Lightning"

This gadget does not need to be introduced to anyone, the name speaks for itself. Its prototypes already exist in reality. The first successful flight with a jet backpack took place back April 20, 1961. But it only lasted 13 seconds. In 2016 the company JetPack Aviation presented an aircraft in the form of a backpack, which is able to keep a person in the air for about 10 minutes. But he never went on sale. And we still go to work by car, subway or bus. So we keep dreaming.
