    If you look at the sixties sci-fi, then its so obviously done in a sort of sixties style. I bet Blade Runner will also be seen as an exponent of the times it was made - it had puffy shoulders, for example. And punk style, which was relatively new at the time.
    We just can't imagine any future style, in depictions of the future the style is always based on the style trends of the time.

    By the way, I think the first image is the prediction of Wikipedia... and the last one some sort of web-cam.

    In 1982 the encyclopaedia Britannica hired Atari Alan Kay to predict how the encyclopaedia of the future would be:.

    Not exactly, the first image is much more amazing than wikipedia.

    They thought of a machine capable of transform the knowledge in books in some kind of brain waves and send this knowledge directly to the mind of students.

    To learn without effort, an old chimera.

    The last image I don't know, maybe a karaoke

    It's not a joke: scientists have that goal in mind, and they intend to do it in some future... Look for wetware.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetware_(brain)

    El término wetware es usado para describir la integración de conceptos de la construcción física conocida como "sistema nervioso central" y la construcción mental conocida como la "mente humana". Wetware es una abstracción de dos partes de un humano vistas desde los conceptos informáticos del hardware y el software.

    En las computadoras se puede separar perfectamente el hardware del software, en cambio el sistema cerebro-mente (hardware-software) es un sistema auto-organizado que se modifica de manera dinámica y continua (proceso de aprendizaje).

    El hardware vendría a ser el cerebro, la estructura, las neuronas, en tanto el sofwate sería la mente y los procesos mentales.

    El "hardware" sólo incumbe propiedades bioeléctricas y bioquímicas del sistema nervioso central, específicamente el cerebro. Si los impulsos que viajan por varias neuronas fuese el software, entonces las neuronas físicas podrían ser el hardware.

    La interacción fusionada del hardware y el software se manifiesta a través de continuos cambios de conexiones físicas e influencias físicas y químicas, propagándose a través de de amplios espectros de áreas supuestamente sin relación. Esta interacción requiere un nuevo término que excede la definición de esos términos individuales.

    El "software" es relegado a un nivel conceptual superior, en este caso la analogía sería entre la mente humana y el software.

    La intrincada interacción entre el ámbito físico y el ámbito mental es observable en muchos ejemplos. La combinación de esos conceptos son expresados en el término wetware.

    ^^

    It's only an analogy and theorization of the running of human mind and computers, they have no idea how to 'write' something in human mind like if it was ia computer, by now.
