Science and technology have come a long, long way from the period when our parents and grandparents grew up. Back then, a black-and-white television was a huge deal. Today, having a television that can connect to the internet wirelessly and read our minds is all the rage. Scientists and developers have come together to create products and inventions straight out of science fiction stories and movies. We truly live in an impressive time, too bad most of these things require some hard-earned cash in order to purchase. Here are 5 modern technologies that appear right out of a science fiction tale.

Scientists have somehow managed to find a way to create an artificial womb within the real world, much like what we’ve seen in the film franchise The Matrix. Researchers in Tokyo have been working on using it for goat fetuses recently.

HyperStealth Biotechnology recently showed off a working prototype of their new fabric for the military, known as Quantum Stealth, which will bend light waves and run off batteries, making the wearer appear invisible to others.
2. Piercing Vision

The very first synthetic leg recently went for a walk. The robotic leg will connect to an owner with two nerves and computer sensors, allowing it to function in the same manner as a human leg. The mind will control it completely.
