The Science Revolution - Fact Or Fiction?

Have you ever stopped to think about the movies we watch and their relation to our world? When the idea of a movie is conceived, where does it come from, fact or fiction? Take your mind back to the classic movie "Jurassic Park" where geologists discovered a perfectly preserved mosquito. Now this mosquito was from the age when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and was complete with traces of dinosaur blood.

Now it gets interesting and thought provoking. The story revolves around an island inhabited by extinct dinosaurs which have been cloned from the DNA found in the mosquito. We know for a fact that cloning is not only possible but has been achieved. It is possible to have your pet cloned. My question is this; who actually conceived the idea of cloning? Was it the script writer of the movie and the science world took this idea and made it reality? Maybe it was the other way around, the technology to clone things already existed but the general population wasn't aware of it.

This brings me to another movie where they insert microscopic robots into a human. It is fact that these types of microscopic robots are being used in medicine today. Sorry I can't think of the name of this movie but you get the idea. If you open your mind, how many movies have you seen with incredible story lines and technology, only to see that same or similar technology become reality? What about early films and theatre about UFO's and spaceships and did we not eventually fly to the moon?
