Taking the kids to see Iron Man 3 today. Given the current level and trend of technology, what science fiction type weapons or weapon systems in the movies do you see ever becoming reality? Should things like battle suits if achievable ever become reality or would they just be over-engineered death traps? Will directed energy weapons ever be man(or woman) portable? Will smart submunitions give an individual the ability to engage and attack multiple targets? Can flight be practical for individuals? I pick on these particular abilities because they are featured in the movie and have some current forays into them, but feel free to put forward whatever fictional movie technologies that are out there as long as they have some tenuous basis in reality.
