The World is progressing at a very fast pace. In every generation the technology upgrades with a multiple of ten. We are still not confirm to say the exact pace of advancements. The technology we often used to see in movies and comics have become a reality now. The following quote seems justified for recent technology “Fiction of today is Fact of tomorrow.”
#10 Robotics
The concept of robotics came from Hollywood movies that fascinated the human nature a lot. Yet the definition of robotics has been changing from time to time. The humans believe that robots are something similar structures like us having the capability to do all the work without getting tired or ill. If we look around ourselves we shall get to know that we are surrounded by different types of robots from small scale to large scale. The idea of war machines and sophisticated robots genuinely came from the movies of Hollywood for example Star Wars, Terminator, Men in Black and similar many movies. We all believe that the fiction of today is a fact of tomorrow. The modern world is trying to prove our belief and is probably successful in doing so; many engineering companies of Japan and America have produced robots capable of doing home jobs as well as securing their borders. The UAVs and Drones are one of a kind. The robotics thus justified to stay on our list at number ten.
#9 Genetic Engineering
Gregor Mendel, father of the Genetics did experimental research on better growth of peas. His work was criticized at that time but after a decade of his death, year 1884 his work was appreciated and he was titled as the father of Genetics. After that Genetic Engineering flourished most rapidly and now almost all the plants, vegetables and fruits have been grown on the same principle. Accounts suggest that there were attempts to produce clones but later these experiments were banned. Using the technique you can now add or remove different traits from the personality of your fetus. You can now determine and decide the gender of the baby and its physical features. Thus, Genetic Engineering acquires the rank of number nine in our top ten lists.

#8 Hypersonic Transportation
The transport facilities revolutionized very rapidly. The airplanes revolutionized in the early twentieth century, Airplanes were evolved to reach a speed of 10 mach and provide ensures to provide you a safe journey at such speed. Similarly the trains have evolved much in just a mere century; recent trains are ten times faster than those of 19thy century. Previous accounts suggest that there are possibilities that by the end of this century we shall be able to travel at the speed of 6,000 mph. There are some concepts of teleportation, yet not existing but probably meet reality in a century or two. Thus super fast transportation is at number eight in our top ten ranking.

#7 Free Energy
The acquisition of energy from non polluting substances had been Holy Grail for Science. The Energy today is being produced from different sources for example; tides, geothermal, sea waves, wind, nuclear, solar and many other sources. However nuclear energy is most cheap yet we are still unable to control the nuclear reactions. Energy is being produced from fission reactions but whence we will find ways to control fusion reaction we will be having humongous amount of energy supply. Another cheapest way of obtaining energy is from the sea waves, researchers are working on this project diligently to obtain this source of energy sooner or later we’ll be enjoying electricity supply with a very less amount of money.

#6 Artificial Intelligence
The definition says according to John McCarthy “It is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.” It’s one of the technologies in its kind promising to provide maximum output. The Technology makes robots and different machines to think and understands human intelligence making them smarter than computers. Different authors and researchers explain that the technology is mere a risk and can prove harmful to the human race and current environment, still many scientist and researchers believe it is as a part of criticism to their work. They are working diligently to make this technology alive and change the future story of the world.

#5 Nanotechnology
Much like other fictions depicted in Hollywood movies. Nanotechnology is one of its kinds. You must have watched movies in which microscopically small organisms destroy cities within a matter of few minutes. The idea of Nanotechnology came from there. The purpose of making things smaller and smaller is getting wider and wider day by day, computers have been reduced from a size of room to pocket size cell phones, different electrical applications used in our daily life have been reduced in size and struggle to achieve success in this field are on.

#4 Human Cloning
Human Cloning is an extremely a controversial issue. It means to genetically produce identical copy of Human beings. First Attempt was made by Dr. Panayiotis Zavos, an American fertility doctor, efforts proved a mere failure. He experimented to generate an embryo in 35 years of old woman later it was found that woman was never pregnant. With the gradual improvements in the cloning technique, efforts to generate mouse, cattle, goat, pig, deer, rabbit, cat, mule, and horse clones proved successful. The successful experiments were extreme rare cases, for every 100 experiments only one or two proved successful. The following experiments were done on the humans as well none of them proved successful; in every experiment vital organs remained immature required to support healthy growth of normal baby.

#3 Antigravity
The Antigravity is the idea of creating place gravity free that is it would have no effect of gravity on it. This makes the objects in that specific area to float freely in air. The main idea behind the concept of gravity free places or antigravity machines is to balance their weight against some other kind of force may magnetism or aerodynamic lift. The concept is again taken from Fiction novels, Hollywood movies and cartoons. The media has played a versatile role behind advent of many different technologies. NASA’s projects usually carry out such kind of training for its astronauts. Thus the concept of Antigravity lies at number three in our countdown list.

#2 Automation
The Technology is progressing at such a fast pace that observers believe that by the end of this century the electronic equipments will be much smarter that they will be able to do all home chores which are on your mind and a constant worry for you. These electronic equipment work of you understands your feeling and much similar to robotics concept. The concept again came from movies, comics and similar media. If you had watched star wars in which the whole city is controlled by a single very powerful computer being named as SUPER COMPUTER, it is responsible to control vehicles travelling on streets, robots guarding your homes, war machines guarding your borders from hostile forces and even controlling robots in your kitchen who are preparing your breakfast. Humans still make their decisions and can reprogram them for their needs and requirements. In this way making Human beings gratis from every work and providing them time to enjoy with their family.

#1 Hydrogen Powered Car
The idea came from the fear of consumption of all the useful crude oil fuel present in our earth. This idea took its birth in 21st Century; attempts were produce internal combustion engines capable of doing cracking of water and produce Hydrogen following which is to be used as a fuel for useful purpose. The cracking of Hydrogen is not as simple it looks. In our secondary classes we have learn in basic chemistry course that water can be cracked using platinum electrodes and in the presence of Sulphric acid as an electrolyte, producing one mole of Hydrogen gas and two moles of Oxygen gas. Scientists and Chemists use the same principle to crack the water and produce hydrogen but the process is way too expensive and unstable. Once we made an engine capable of cracking Hydrogen then the cost and necessity of fuel will go down and most important our energy crisis will come to an end.
