NOTICE AND WONDER --
As you are looking at the infographic, think about what you notice and wonder. Explain what you notice and wonder as you CLOSE read!
I’m surprised that he was able to actually predict having wall tvs. I wonder how he thought of it compared to what it is today?
This is I bit annoying that they connected the wrist radio to a phone not an apple watch.
I agree, Johnny. It would have suited the prediction much better if they had included the apple watch instead of a phone.
Good eye, Annabel.
I agree. I think that they were being lazy when they made that connection.
I think that it is really cool/amazing that he could have thought of these innovations that at the time were never thought of. It really makes you think about the kinds of things that could be invented in the future.
I agree, Maddie. How is it possible for him to predict that we would have virtual reality without color tvs back then? Can he tell the future?
The idea of virtual reality was in sci-fi author’s minds for a long time, so it’s very cool to see that we are getting close to having full virtual reality.
How could he have possibly predicted this? This guy is a genius. Can he tell the future? He must have thought very complexly to think of this.
This reminds me of the apple watch since it goes on people’s wrists and it is like a radio.
This is really interesting now such a big thing to them and something out of this world for them but its so boring and average for us.
I do not think this should be on here because it is a concept. Although with the google home and amazon box thing it is close.
This image reminds me of the apple watch. It’s crazy to think he predicted something would actually get invented.
Well at least he still predicted them.
I wonder what he thought all of these things would be like. Maybe he thought something would look different today, or it looks the same.
so I wonder if this is kinda like the Apple watch and maybe apple got their idea to make them off of this product.
That could be true if it is how many of these things did he inspire.
I wonder where he got the inspirations for the things he thought of before they were invented. Could it have been things that he wanted? Or maybe things that would make his life easier.
I think this is really cool. I think it is cool because 42 years ago a man thought of this and it actually came true.
I didn’t notice that. That’s interesting.
An automated teller machine is an ATM where you usually put in a card and get cash out.
Ray Bradbury can not have predicted this the other things are normal futuristic ideas but a 24-7 bank.
This really reminds me of a drone that most people have now days but its just shaped like a helicopter.
It’s strange to thing that certain objects/appliances that are normal to us now were such a strange thing to think of back when these stories were written.
The names this author gave devices are kind of funny when you actually have a name for them. I wouldn’t ever think of earbuds as seashells, but Bradbury did.
I wonder what everyday life would be like without earbuds. So many people use them every single day.
That is very weird how the home keeps caring for itself after the owners have been killed. It does sound really interesting though, a home caring for itself.
I wonder if we will have humanoid robots as tellers someday instead of people and automated ones.
I wonder how many more crimes would happen today if we didn’t have surveillance cameras.
I wonder if these could advance so that you could see who is talking to you
That’s crazy that something little like that became such a small thing that so many people use today
I notice that some of these inventions were far apart from when Ray Bradbury put them in his stories to when they were actually invented. For example the virtual reality room has many years separating when it was invented vs when it was in the story but the seashell radios and the earbuds were really close.
My grand’ma has one of the old house phone
Im not sure if people have herd of this but this is kinda like a way larger reality head set.
I wonder if the people reading his stories really thought that these things could and would become real items that people use almost every day.
-Never heard of it.
It is really cool to see how it has advanced from story to real life .
I think what Ray meant here was an actual wall tv, not a wall-mounted TV.
There are tv walls made in certain places
This got me thinking back to when we used to have to carry cell phones in a bag with a giant antenna.
It’s almost as if Ray were able to travel to the future because not only did he predict what was going to be invented, but he also predicted the time it was going to be invented.
I wonder how Ray was able to predict these? Did he just make an educated guess?
Did he have a time machine or was he just insanely smart however he did this it is scary and if someone else starts making predicts like this we better listen up.
