I agree, he was the modern day nostradamus and it’s cool that he lived long enough the he got to see his stuff become a reality. if i lived in his time i would have been like “BOI”

By then, they didn't even know about flat screen tv's. They probably thought of the concept but didn't really know.

Katie Duffey(Mar 09 2017 11:40AM):
I did not know there was a virtual reality room, and that it has been around for this long. I guess the reason why is that now we have VR headsets, which are smaller.
Katie Duffey(Mar 09 2017 11:46AM):
I have seen the smart home before, and I guess it is similar to the robot home. I wonder if the home will eventually start to care for us.
Katie Duffey(Mar 09 2017 11:42AM):
I am surprised that flat screens came out after the VR room. It would seem that the flat screen would come out first.
Katie Duffey(Mar 09 2017 11:38AM):
I find it interesting that Ray Bradbury predicted the earbuds as seashells, which is similar to the shape of real earbuds.
Lauren Ferguson(Mar 09 2017 11:50AM):
I can't believe they didn't come up with these until 1997. I thought these would have been made much before the virtual reality room ever came out.
Lauren Ferguson(Mar 09 2017 11:43AM):
I think it's cool how robot tellers were there at the bank, and we nowadays have ATMs that are technically robotic, since they check your account and eject money for you.
Lauren Ferguson(Mar 09 2017 11:44AM):
I use these so much, and I didn't realize that back then, if I had a pair of earbuds, everyone would be like "WHAT?!". I didn't think earbuds were that new.
Lauren Ferguson(Mar 09 2017 11:47AM):
Just saying, personally, this invention is kind of weird to put on a helicopter, unless you're Google Maps. Well, and store security.
Lauren Ferguson(Mar 09 2017 11:49AM):
I really like the kinds of lights where you clap twice and they turn on or off. I do not have those kinds of lights in my home, but in a Smart Home, they probably have them. Why do I not have them?
Lauren Ferguson(Mar 09 2017 11:46AM):
I think Bradbury's wrist radio is more like an Apple watch or a walkie-talkie, since you hold a phone to your ear, but the Apple watch and some walkie-talkies go on your wrist.
Ryann Johnson(Mar 09 2017 11:53AM):
That's exactly what i was thinking, although I have seen things where you can strap your phone to your arm, acting like a clunky watch.
Ryann Johnson(Mar 09 2017 11:52AM):
Me neither, but now that I think about it, earbuds are pretty complex. A pair of wires that run from a tiny robot to your ears and make sound waves so you can listen to music!
Ryann Johnson(Mar 09 2017 11:46AM):
I wouldn't necessarily say that an ordinary cell phone met these standards. Now a new and improved cell phone definitely allows one to listen to music, but the one made in 1983 could most definitely not.
Ryann Johnson(Mar 09 2017 11:48AM):
I think this is cool how seashells can relate to earbuds. It also makes sense that he used seashells because sometimes you hear the "ocean" when you put it up to your ear.
Ryann Johnson(Mar 09 2017 11:50AM):
I think that is kind of funny. One might have thought that after reading one of his novels someone might catch on and get ahead in the game.
Ryann Johnson(Mar 09 2017 11:44AM):
I think that this was an interesting thing for him to predict. After all, we first had walls of computers, and now they are quite small. So why would the author predict a bigger T.V. rather than a small one?
Sarah Menz(Mar 09 2017 11:40AM):
wow this is actually very interesting, This is amazing how this all lines up. So amazing, it's actually very creepy at the same time.
[Edited]
Sarah Menz(Mar 09 2017 11:53AM):
So that people could have more space, box tv's often took up a lot of room, also they were made wider, so that you could have a better picture.
Jake Misleh(Mar 09 2017 11:45AM):
It is weird that he predicted the wall TV because there are lots of flat screens and movie theaters now that would be like a wall TV.
[Edited]
MEGAN SARTORIS(Mar 09 2017 11:46AM):
I think that it is cool how the author envisioned ATM-like machines as robot tellers. This shows that he thought things would become more automated in the future.
MEGAN SARTORIS(Mar 09 2017 11:49AM):
It's cool how the author envisioned earbuds as seashells because the shape of a seashell is similar to the shape that earbuds have now.
MEGAN SARTORIS(Mar 09 2017 11:54AM):
It's almost scary how he imagined taking out a wall and putting a TV in which is extremely similar to flat screen TV's that we have today.
ELIJAH WALLACE(Mar 09 2017 11:45AM):
Why does the description say "even after they have been killed" (Bradbary TWCSR)? does it mean that it will make coffee for a dead person?
ELIJAH WALLACE(Mar 09 2017 11:55AM):
It also means that he thought we could either: A: copy everyone's voice and be able to copy their needs, or B: we would create artificial intellegance and give it to the robots.
Patricia Wells(Mar 09 2017 11:48AM):
I disagree withe this. I is not like and ear bud because you need to plug in ear buds, and that is not as hard to make as a little piece in your ear that is not connected to anything.
I feel like a lot of this technology that Ray Bradbury predicted is very similar to our modern day technology. But, I feel like it has more of a futuristic feel.
Maya Wolfford(Mar 09 2017 11:40AM):
That is simply hilarious. This description does pertain to real life, though, because cell phones tend to receive messages "every five minutes".
Maya Wolfford(Mar 09 2017 11:51AM):
I agree. Technology has really evolved since that long ago, and pretty soon people will say that this age was dumb. Time is a very confusing thing.
Maya Wolfford(Mar 09 2017 11:46AM):
When Ray Bradbury wrote this, did he imagine that these electronic surveillance devices would need to have licenses (drones)?

I didn’t know that cell phones were invented in the 80’s. I though it was in the early 90’s. I bet the first cell phones were no where even close to the cell phone now.
gabriela gibson(Mar 09 2017 11:47AM):
I think the most of is the virtual reality room. while what I think is funny is the wrist radio which at this point seems like old relic to us now that was the future for him.
