| "there was a movie that came out a couple of years ago called "red planet" I belive, with Val Kilmer as a "Space Janitor" and Carrie Moss.

| "Chris - Yes, I have that one here. You're referring to the homeopape from Minority Report and other stories. But you left out what is probably the earliest example - personalized news from Hugo Gernsback's 1911 classic Ralph 124c 41 +." (Bill Christensen 9/24/2005 10:52:07 AM) |
| "Sorry, I forgot that the site's called "TechNOVELgy".
I was referring to the movie version of "Minority Report", in particular the scene on the train where a passenger recognizes Cruise's character after seeing the live update on his "homeopape".
Haven't had the opportunity to read any of Gernsback's famous work." (Chris Johnston (cljohnston108) 9/25/2005 2:03:29 PM) |
