Answer 3

For your ease, try reading a science fiction book by either Robert A. Heinlein or Isaac Asimov.  These men put TONS of 'science future' into their books that are now not only techonologically 'do-able' but there are several that were actually 'invented' because someone read the books and thought 'That's a great idea ...' and went out and invented it.  The first thing is Waldoes ... where you put your hand onto or into a 'glove' that has a mechanical device that 'moves' as the hands move.  These come from Heinlein's novella, Waldo Incorporated.  Robots are being built today with Asimov's Law of Robotics in them:  A robot must do what it is told to do.  A robot must NEVER harm a human being.  These are the two 'easiest' things, but if you find their novels you should find that there are many things that are 'do-able' today ... and may even see that some of the things we use, like personal computers, first got their start in Science Fiction.  All the question wants is what 'science' in the book is 'do-able' today ... so read and take note, and you should get an A on that paper!

Answer 4

Is there a computer or a car from the book that was intended as scifi but you could easily see it in our world today? Maybe like a scientific or medical procedure? Like growing human organs for transplant purposes. Something along those lines.
