Films such as <em>Star Wars<\/em> or <em>Star Trek<\/em> have captivated the imaginations of the world by providing a glimpse into the future of how things could be. Society now dreams of flying their own <em>S.S. Enterprise<\/em>, having a lightsabre duel or experiencing \u201cdeath by snu-snu\u201d\u2026 Obviously however, there is a long way to go before those dreams become reality.<\/p>\n<p>Different tales of science fiction are set at different periods in Earth\u2019s future, with different futuristic tales outlining the history of the human race throughout the present millennium. Some were highly overambitious, whereas others predicted that we\u2019d have modern technology far later. Have a look for yourself and let us know how excited you are for society\u2019s future if science fiction is anything to go by!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesolarcentre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Finished-Version.png\" alt=\"finished-version\" width=\"960\" height=\"7246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesolarcentre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Finished-Version.png 960w, https:\/\/www.thesolarcentre.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Finished-Version-768x5797.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future remains perhaps the most continuous field of interest in the history of humanity, with the obsession with guessing the unknown remaining a hugely [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-solar-products"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How Technology Will Change According to Science Fiction - Indoor\/Outdoor Lighting Guides &amp;
