Maybe not during YOUR lifetime but a LONG LONG LONG LONG LONG time from now. A couple shows crossed my mind. Some sci-fi some cartoons I just wanted to give some examples.

Cartoon Generator Rex: A virus spreads and infects everyone then some not all turn into monsters. Basically a biothreat from a terrorist instead of killing people it would infect everyone and randomly turn people into monsters.

Doctor Who: This is an easy one Time Travel. Alien races trying to kill/take over humans. A Half human/Alien I loved the half Time Lord/Human stuff AWESOME!! !! I know one thing I'd want any alien to take human form not these black eyes we see stuff. :-) Like Clark Kent or The Doctor would be cool.

Do you think any of this is possible in the future? Or perhaps some other sci-fi or fiction you can imagine really happening.

if you watch Brazil (1984 and a half) you can see a pre-cursor to LCD computer screens - way before they were invented. there are basically thin TV screens / computer screens on scissor arms all over the place... i think this was pretty clever considering they were right.

There was a film called 'District Nine' a year or so ago - I found it frighteningly plausible.

I used to want Lion King to come real as a kid. I was depressed for a long time when I figured out it would not. I can understand why some people got so depressed to the point of sucide when they learned they could never live on Pandora.

Back To The Future 2 - all the stuff they had in the future are things we'll have eventually. Maybe not the flying cars, since they're pretty illogical in practical terms, but hover boards and self drying clothes will happen for sure.

When I was 12 I used to think Honey I Shrunk The Kids could come true, and I used to want it to, so that I could shrink myself every time I embarrassed myself in public (because apparently I did draw attention to myself back then). Also I thought I'd be able to explore the garden inside the grass if I shrinked myself. Then I realised it wasn't true and felt rather disappointed.
