9 Things ‘Starship Troopers’ Correctly Predicted About Today’s Tech
“Starship Troopers” has pretty much everything you want from a satirical science-fiction action flick.
There’s the over-the-top action, with guns that hold seemingly infinite ammo.
There’s the incredibly cheesy dialogue, with such gems as, “The only good bug is a dead bug!”
And then there’s the awesome technology that the makers predicted we’d have in the future.
While much of it’s still in the realm of fantasy — like faster-than-light space travel — the movie also predicted many things that are already part of our everyday tech.
All of the students in Starship Troopers use tablet computers (though they’re still as thick as tech from the 90s)
Based on the stylus, it looks like the Surface Pro beats the iPad in the Starship Troopers universe.
The movie’s government ads are a pretty accurate portrayal of today’s visual web, using a combination of interactive links and videos.
