Movies and TV shows are a good way to portray imaginative stuff that we know doesn’t exist. We somehow get lost in these movies/shows and live in the dreamy world that they portray. We also tend to believe in stuff that they show. We’re aware that all this is a hoax but there are a few movies/shows that have somehow predicted the future in their scenes and that have happened!!! So, here’s a list of how TV/movies have predicted the future. Check it out! Also, let us know in the comments if you have noticed any such strange detail.

This aired in ’80’ and ’90s and showed characters using devices called Personal Access Display Devices (PADDs) that somehow looked like iPads. But the point is, iPads weren’t invented at that time. Maybe the design was inspired from here, lol.

This isn’t a movie or show, but a book. However, it deserves to be on the list. Why? That’s because Ray Bradbury, the author mentioned a character who was having mini radios in her ears- a description that eerily describes the wireless ear pods we use today.
