Science fiction inspires us to ask the big questions, like ‘What if?’ and ‘Why not?’ and ‘Can we really build a robot that makes coffee?”
Science fiction has given us some of the greatest stories of all time, and also some of the most ridiculous. But isn’t that what makes it fun?
January 2 is the birthday of the very famous science fiction writer Isaac Asimov.
Which is why this day is world wide seen as a day to celebrate science fiction. Mainly the literature because it’s a cool game to point out when a modern movie or series is based on an old story that once only existed on paper before it entered the imagination of an eager public that would give the fantasy a live of it’s own.

Science fiction isn’t just about predicting the future, it’s about imagining a better one. And with the way things are going, we could use some good ideas.
The first step in progress is to wonder what we can or might have in the future.
We wonder how we can solve problems that we struggle with now.
We wonder what exciting fun things we can make to enrich our lives.
And maybe we wonder what the long term consequences are from things that happen now or might happen soon.
If we can dream it, then we can write science fiction about it and share those dreams!
We now have that future where the Vulcan salute has been done in space.
A car has actually been in space, except with a different sound track than expected.
We carry around communicators that are computers, camera’s and tricorders in one.
And even better, many once lethal ailments have become manageable or even eradicated.
May our future be inspired even more by creative dreams and may we live long and prosper!
