Friday’s Food for Thought: Science Fiction Influences Real Science; Original Star Trek Used GEOINT Technologies
Added by USGIF Category: Friday's Food for Thought, General
Welcome once again to our “Friday’s Food for Thought” post hosted exclusively on got geoint? We hope everyone had a productive week and were able to get a jump start on holiday shopping during the better-than-expected Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping sprees. For this week’s FFT post, we are tackling the theme of how science fiction has influenced real scientific breakthroughs. Science fiction movies, books and television shows are often ahead of their times (i.e., Jules Verne, pictured) and play a major role in the development of some of our most significant scientific achievements. Art influences real life. How cool is that? Hope you enjoy and happy Friday!
