The films 20 century futurists have generally omitted an essential element of early 21st century: the cell and its great mass.
Perhaps I have missed a movie, if so I would like let me know, but I do not remember a film based on the future of the nineties to rear to incorporate this simple yet revolutionary device that changing telecommunications and why not the world. One of the things I wonder of this phenomenon today is very poobres see people as garbage scavengers texting on her cell phone, this is a clear example of how he entered our lives, even sweeping social class boundaries. But
the funny thing is that few saw this coming for over 20 years, at least film proves it.
Not that you have completely wrong, there were many approaches that, while not hit the target, at least they imagined something a bit similar. One of the most common in several classic films is such futuristic clock camera phone, why you never massifies unlike the phone? simply because they use it as a clock only allows one-handed maneuver, it also has a limited size screen for an obvious topic of comfort (no one can wear a watch the size of a modern cell), so camera phones with watches simply never were a reality not because technology does not allow it because the man found another way more comfortable, versatile and maneuverable of using telecommunications.
I thought this because in many futuristic movies, even when one imagines the future, they tend to imagine things that are more grandiloquent the naked eye ( flying cars, futuristic architecture, robots, etc ) but sometimes major changes can be very small things imperceptible at first glance, the unthinkable phones are a clear example of this. Today's hard to imagine the world without them, but the film inspired by the future 20 years ago not looked so well.
