I seen/read things about shining bright lights, LED screens and bending light waves...............all just around the corner from being applied in field.

I don't know, look at some of the other headlines from that rag.

One of the reasons I like Sci-Fi so much is that because if they can dream it, they can do it. Almost everything writen about in Sci-Fi either has been done, or is being worked on to some extent.
Time travel, of course, being the most difficult I'm sure.

Did you know that a satellite was recently launched using ION propulsion?
Hmm...what Sci-Fi icon used ION thrusters? TIE fighters...among others...:D
