The things we've invented have made our lives 1, smarter and easier.Our inspirations for these inventions are often practical. We used fire 2 meat. The horseand buggy （马车）were used to move people and goods. But some 3 our most radical （激进的）inventions were inspired not out of necessity, but out of fantasy and imagination.One of the best examples of this can 4 in From the Earth to the Moon, a novel written byfamous writer Jules Verne. The novel, published in 1867, describes 5 traveling from ourplanet to the moon. Just over 100 6 later, we would put a man on the moon for real.But it is perhaps the worlds of film and television 7 inspire some of the most amazingfuture technologies. We can see technology in many films and TV shows that is beyond our ability to create - so far. But some of 8 have already come to life.In fact, it is something like a two-way street - movie and TV show producers are inspired by the tech we already have and create fictional （虚构的）technology that is based upon it, while real-life inventors are inspired by the fantastic creations they see in films and on television.These two different worlds share a common purpose - to allow us to express and realize our desire （渴望）to create. To give life to things we 9 see only in our imaginations. As we learnabout some of these creations in the following pages, we'll come to see how they 10 ourlives and given us the freedom to unleash （释放）our creativity.Binto that one do come what develop makefilm lateHumankind's dream of traveling into space was first shown on film in 1902, when the French film Le Voyage dans la Lune （A Trip to the Moon,月球旅行记）was released （发行）. In this film, a young couple is shot to the moon in a cannon （大炮）.In the decades to come, many more 1 like Le Voyage would come out. In the 1950s and 1960s, for example, films likeDestination Moon （目标月球）and Robinson Crusoe on Mars （鲁宾逊太空历险）showed humans traveling 2 space.In Destination Moon, scientists travel to the moon aboard a single-stage （单级的）rocket-powered （以火箭为动力的）spacecraft - very similar to 3 we would later use to travel to the moonin real life. And in Robinson Crusoe on Mars, the Elm's stars reach Mars aboard a probe （探,则器） that is similar to the Mars probes we have now.After these films 4 out, it wouldn't be long until we would start exploring （探索）the starsfor real. In 1961, Russian cosmonaut （宇航员）Yuri Gagarin became the 5 man in space.He traveled aboard the Vostok 3KA, a simple spacecraft that was little more than a tin can （金属 罐）floating in space. But it worked and just eight years 6, the US would put a man on the moon for the first time.Spaceflight 7 quickly in the years since. For example, scientists living aboard the International Space Station （ISS） are able to stay in space for months at a time. They spend most of their days 8 experiments, taking care of the station, and exercising. The probes, rockets and shuttles （航天飞机）9 we use these days are stronger and faster than the oneswe used in earlier space missions （任务）.New advances that make spaceflight cheaper and safer are 10 all the time.Cknow use able play normal which with show thing theyComputers, smartphones, and other machines are the perfect servants. They always do what they are “told”. We usually “tell” them to do things by 1 a mouse or keyboard. But what if wecould just talk to them 2 and literally （真正地）tell them what to do?This type of technology, 3 as voice control or voice recognition （声音识另ll）, 4 infilms and TV shows since the 1960s. The Star Trek TV series, 5 debuted （首播）at this time,showed spaceships that could reply to human voice commands （命令）.The 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey “starred” HAL 9000, a computer that human astronauts could talk to. It was mainly used 6 chess and maintain （维修）the astronauts5 spaceship.Real-world voice recognition, on the other hand, is used for more everyday tasks. You might be familiar （熟悉的）7 Siri and Alexa, two examples of voice recognition software made byApple and Amazon. They can be asked to do many things, from setting alarms and playing music to placing online grocery （日常采购）orders and activating household appliances （家用电器）.One of the nice 8 about voice recognition is that it can be used when we're on the go.When you're driving a car or walking down the sidewalk （人行道）,it can be inconvenient or even dangerous to pick up your smartphone and type away on the keyboard. Voice recognition allows you to focus on （专注于）whatever you're doing at the moment while still doing other tasks.People with hearing 9 can also benefit （获益），as speech recognition software can be usedto "listen" to spoken words and turn them into text that deaf people can read. Advanced speech recognition software can even hear words spoken in one language and then translate 10 intoanother language.D usual other call movie get to appear use if fromSome people like the freedom of driving their own car. But 1 find driving to be inconvenient or even dangerous. Fortunately, the driverless cars we've seen in 2 and TVshows are on the way here.The first driverless car to hit the screen was Herbie, a cute talking car 3 the 1968 comedyThe Love Bug. Herbie could drive by himself and even talk to his human friends. He didn't have any advanced technology just a sprinkling of fairy dust （一点魔法粉）.KITT was another driverless car that 4 on the 1980s TV show Knight Rider. KITT usedadvanced AI to drive itself and help its rider Michael Knight catch criminals （罪犯）.While the driverless cars of today can't talk to us, they do have many similarities 5 theones we've seen onscreen. Nearly every major car company is working on their own autonomous vehicle （AV）. Tesla, for example, has developed a driver-assistance system for its cars 6 Tesla Autopilot.Tesla Autopilot can complete many of the tasks that human drivers 7 do. It can make sure that your car is centered in the correct lane （车道），as well as park itself and stop 8 itthinks that a crash （车祸）might happen. However, it is not fully self-driving and all of these features require human supervision （监督）.Google's sister company Waymo seems to be leading the way in the AV area. Its self-driving cars are already 9 for taxi services in the US city of Phoenix. It is the only self-driving car service that operates without human backup （备用的）drivers. It uses common cameras as well as laser radar （激光雷达）to determine distance, which allows the cars 10 around without riskof crashing.Ewhere who of true feel we name put machine medicine When we go to sleep at night, we dream - and the things we see in our dreams are often out of our control. But virtual reality （VR,虚拟现实）allows us to create "dreams" that we can change to our liking.Creating _1 own virtual worlds is not a new idea. One of the first times we saw this was inthe 1982 film Tron （创）.In this film, a hacker （黑客）is brought into a virtual world _2 he must fight digital warriors （数码武士）in order to escape.In 19991 The Matrix （黑客帝国），a hacker _3 Neo finds that the "real" world we live in is in fact a virtual one - in the real world, humans have been enslaved （奴役）by machines. Neo and other hackers have to fight the 4 in order to save humanity.The virtual worlds shown in these films are quite fantastic. But we've been experimenting with VR in real life as well.In the gaming world, players can feel 5 immersed （沉浸的）with VR tech. In Star Wars:Squadrons （星球大战：飞行中队）,players take on the role 6 a space fighter pilot. By7 on a VR headset, you can look around your cockpit （驾驶员座舱）as if you,re reallysitting in a space fighter, as well as look out into the endless depths of space.In the 8 1 field, VR can help treat patients with anxiety disorders （焦虑症）.Patients areput in virtual situations that make them anxious in a safe and controlled environment. They can slowly learn not 9 so scared.VR can also be used to simulate （模拟）real workspaces for training purposes and for those 10 work dangerous jobs. VR has already been used to train astronauts in spaceflight, aswell as train miners （矿工）and soldiers in virtual environments that can't actually harm them.late use also main they see by lock and findYour face might be the most unique （特另ll 的）part of your physical appearance. Everyone has something about 1 face that's a little different. And that difference makes facial recognition （面部识别）possible.This technology can 2 in many films. In the sci-fi classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, apowerful Al-controlled computer called HAL 9000 is able to "read" the emotions （情绪）of human astronauts 3 scanning （扫描）their faces. And in the 1987 action film Robocop, a cyborg（半人半机器）police officer identifies （识别）a criminal （罪犯）by scanning his photo and 4 it in a computer.Today, facial recognition tech has become reality. It is 5 used as a security measure （安保手段）or to identify criminals.For example, in 2018, facial recognition technology was used to identify and catch criminals who were attending concerts by Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung. And if you have a recent model of Apple's iPhone, you probably already know that you can 6 the phone with your face. Butthose are just a few of the things we can use facial recognition for. The possibilities, it seems, are endless.Take Grab for example. Grab is a ride-hailing （叫车月艮务）company in southeast Asia that 7 facial recognition technology to ensure passenger safety. The technology works byscanning the faces of both the driver 8 the passenger, allowing passengers to make surethat they have been matched up with the correct driver.Retailers （零售商）are 9 looking to facial recognition technology to drive business bypersonalizing （个性化定制）the shopping experience for customers. Facial recognition can allow retailers to "see" what their shoppers are actually looking at in stores. 10, they use this information to provide suggestions for future purchases （贝勾买）.Gover be at worry good I final little give whatI used to be very shy.
