In the James Bond movie ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’ there is a car chase scene in which Bond, played by George Lazenby, flipped a switch to reveal a futuristic gadget that looked like a built in radar screen. Unlike any other radar screen, this one showed a road map giving his moving position.
That’s right – James Bond had Sat Nav. That was in 1969!
In ‘From Russia with Love’ Bond, this time played by Sean Connery, had a built in car phone. That was in 1963! So were these Bond films really telling the future? Or was something else going on?
Did the Hitchhiker have an iPad?
