The research paper I am thinking to write about is how much movies have inspired scientists and tech companies to develop new technologies throughout the latter part of the 20th century and so far in the 21st century. Movies like Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Wall-E, Terminator, Back To the Future and many more have inspired people to invent technologies that were impossible to be part of our reality only a few years ago. But I am struggling to locate specific readings on this subject. We know technologies like cell phone/ smart-phones, self-driving cars, video calling, hologram, Google glass etc all have been a big part of sci-fi movies before those were even part of our reality. I believe it will be an interesting topic to write about and hoping to get some scholarly source written on the topic soon.
