From CGI-heavy comic book and action movies, to video games, iPhones, and smart fashion, there’s no question of technology’s inextricable link with pop culture.
But what came first? The technology, or the culture? While the claim that Jules Verne famously created the submarine in 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea has been disproven, many other inventions and technologies still in use today were originally conceived in works of fiction.
From now until May 1, you can explore how pop culture has influenced growing advancements in technology at Space Center Houston’s POPnology spring exhibit.
“Witness science fiction turn into science fact in our all-new spring exhibit, POPnology, on display Feb. 19 – May 1,” the museum writes on its website.
Through a series of immersive series and interactive displays, visitors can track the links between pop culture and technology at POPnology as well as the imagination and engineering that went in to the creative process.
