Technology Used in Prometheus Movie

The Space-Age Prometheus Technology We Want Now (Are You Listening, Scientists?)

June 8, 2012

1 / 8

Science fiction gadgets have a history of inspiring real-life technology. (Remember, the Star Trek PADD was long before the introduction of the iPad.) Sci-fi fans are in for some serious tech eye candy with the release of Ridley Scott's Alien prequel, Prometheus. The tale of a futuristic space quest for alien life features stunning special effects and gadgets that have us wishing the year 2093 wasn't so distant. With David, the cybernetic robot that's uncannily human, topping our list, check out the film's other fictional technology that we can't wait to see become reality.

I just saw the movie last night. It was awesome! Really keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time! Plus, music/sound effects were really good, perfectly following the mood of each scene.

It seems like whatever scifi dreams up, in 5 years it's already outdated. There's a Star Trek bluetooth device that probably works better than the 'communication badges' they used in TNG: http://bestheadphonesforclassicalmusic.com/7-awesomely-geeky-headphones/
