microwave<\/a>. But, long before our blog post, Asimov predicted that there would be an invention that would prepare \u201cautomeals\u201d and that complete lunches and dinners with the food semi-prepared would be stored in the freezer until ready for processing (hello, TV dinners). It\u2019s safe to say that Asimov\u2019s invention prediction number one was accurate.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/GPS.jpg\" "\\"GPS\\"")
GPS- <\/strong>Road maps are now seen as a sort of historical document, ever since the GPS was invented. Now, you can travel uncharted territory and go from point A to point B with a small invention that is either incorporated into your car\u2019s dashboard, \u00a0sticks to the inside of your car\u2019s windshield or is available on your Smartphone. Asimov predicted that \u201cMuch effort will be put into the designing of vehicles with \u2018robot-brains\u2019 (vehicles that can be set for particular destinations and that will then proceed there without interference by slow reflexes of a human driver.)\u201d The invention that Asimov described is pretty close to the GPS that we use today. And, he might not be far off with his prediction of vehicles proceeding without interference by slow reflexes of the human driver; because, there are countless projects, one of which was conducted in 2013 at Carnegie Mellon University, where they invented a working prototype of a self-driving car. Stay tuned to see if Asimov\u2019s second prediction comes completely true!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.davison.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/FaceTime-300x168.jpg\" "\\"FaceTime\\"")
<\/p>\n
FaceTime\/Internet-<\/strong> So, your loved one or your friend is on the other side of the country or even across the pond; but, that doesn\u2019t matter because you can still talk to them face-to-face via FaceTime and the internet. These two inventions have revolutionized the way that people communicate and Asimov predicted this future invention by saying, \u201cCommunications will become sight-sound and you will see as well as hear the person you telephone.\u201d He continued to say that \u201cThe screen can be used not only to see the people you call but also for studying documents and photographs and reading passages from books.\u201d How would this be possible? Asimov said that \u201csynchronous satellites, hovering in space will make it possible for you to direct-dial any spot on Earth, including the weather stations in Antarctica.\u201d These invention predictions made by Asimov sound a lot like the tablets and computers that we use on a daily basis, both leisurely and for our business efforts, too.<\/p>\nAsimov made these predictions 50 years ago and we are using these inventions today. Perhaps, 50 years from now, we will be writing about your invention and your invention predictions. But, you\u2019ll never know, if you don\u2019t dare to invent!<\/p>\n
