Donuel: "AC current is still integral to most of our PC's" is relevant to the internet how? The AC current is just powering it, not doing internal processing. It's like saying that the existence of legs predicted the bicycle... ;-) Re Jules Verne's gadget, they already had the telegraph then, so a "telegraph for pictures" ain't such a stretch.

To the original guest who posted: No there aren't any such texts. Your quote from Luke has no relevance. And you're a nutter - I just hope the voices in your head never tell you to shoot some people.

Various sci-fi writers have predicted things like it, with varying degrees of correspondance to what's appeared and when. I doubt you'd call even the oldest of them (Wells and Orwell) "texts from antiquity" though.
