Science Fiction to Reality: Real-Time Translation and the Future We Live In
```html
Doraemon's Translation Bánh Mì is Real!
Google Meet has officially launched real-time language translation during calls, making international meetings feel almost… barrier-free. While not entirely new, its integration into a platform used by hundreds of millions transforms what was once science fiction into… everyday reality.
It made me reflect: so much from comic books and sci-fi films is now part of our daily lives:
- Video calls with people halfway around the world, all with a phone.
- Live streaming from home – anyone can "go live on TV."
- Ordering food from hundreds of restaurants with a few taps.
- Driving in a foreign country without knowing the language, still reaching the destination thanks to GPS.
- Watches tracking heart rate, speed, stress levels, and monitoring sleep…
- Contactless payment by simply waving your phone.
- Passing through toll booths without stopping.
- Voice commands to turn on lights and air conditioning… from 1000km away.
- Cashier-less supermarkets: grab your items, walk out, the system automatically charges you.
- Delivery robots, cleaning robots, cargo robots everywhere.
- Self-driving cars, passengers reading the newspaper or even… napping.
- .....
The Pace of Change
Everything is changing so fast. So fast that it's almost impossible to predict what will happen in the next 5-10 years.
What "fiction" do you think will become reality next?
