The Magic Ball
Predictions
The magic ball deals with topics such as work, friendship, family, money, social life, love, motivation and much more. It is possible to make up to three readings per day.
The future is tomorrow
The Magic Ball isn't the only one trying to predict the fate. Science fiction has sometimes made predictions that later turned out to be right. Let's have a closer look at some examples in the culture coming from the past, predicting the future.
Walking on the moon
While Neil Armstrong walked on the moon on July 21, 1969, 104 years earlier, Jules Verne wrote "From the Earth to the Moon" which tells the same story.
Hoverboard
Everyone remembers the skateboard, in the movie 'Back to the Future'. It is capable of flying a few centimeters above the ground. Currently, every month we can read about a new version of a hoverboard in the media.
Hologram
Holograms have been around for a long time in science fiction movies. In reality it's a bit complicated, but the science continues to advance. Here's an invention that could give a new reality to the Magic Ball.
Autonomous cars
In the movie 'Total Recall' (the 1990 one with A. Schwarzenegger), taxis are driven by robots. Nowadays autonomous cars are almost part of the present reality. There are already in use in cities like San Francisco. And for sure in a few years it may be all around the world.
Radio
Jules Verne again: In 1889 he made the prediction that in the future men would no longer read the newspaper but would listen to it. The first radio broadcast didn't take place until 1920. This man is really a genius.
Stay under control
Aldous Huxley, in his 1931 book 'the best of all worlds', describes a society where everyone takes a medicine that keeps them happy. It was only 20 years later that doctors made the connection between depression and medication. Currently, about 1 in 6 Americans Takes antidepressants.
General surveillance
George Orwell's book '1984' depicts a company where control is total. Cameras, microphones, interception of communications are used for widespread surveillance. Some people suggest that our present is even worse.
