Reaching a date projected in science fiction happens a lot.
Escape from New York (1981) was set in 1997:
The Eugenics Wars in the Star Trek: TOS episode "Space Seed" (1967) took place in the 1990s:
According to It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958), the first manned mission to Mars took place in the distant year of 1973:
And that's just off the top of my head.

What do you mean? I flew my car to work today, just as predicted. And I have my tickets to the off-world colonies in my grubby little hand.
Seriously though, how could they have thought the world was going to change THAT much in so short a time? They should've said 2119. Then maybe.

In many ways, the technology of today surpasses what we see in Blade Runner. No replicants, flying cars or regular off world shuttles as of yet, but computer technology is leaps and bounds ahead of BR.

I booked some tickets on Pan Am in the morning, piloted my flying car to work, came home and had an appointment with my pleasure replicant, and finished off the night playing Atari. Sounds like a good future...  |

As for the Terminator films, 2029 is barely more than a decade from now.

That's one of the things I love about watching old science fiction films/TV shows. Seeing how they imagined what was their future and now our past.
Science fiction is more about the story and presenting 'what-ifs' than about predicting the future.

Just because we didn't see a lot of computers doesn't mean they weren't there. You have to assume that in order to create the level of advancement that is a Replicant, incredibly detailed and high grade computer models had to have been created. That photo machine had to have one heck of a computer attached to it, not to mention the traffic patterns of fleets of flying cars.

Modern computers could do a better job of analysis than that photo machine. The idea that he has to use a video payphone as opposed to a smartphone or tablet is incredibly dated.

The videophone I agree with. But the photo machine was way better than anything we have. That shit actually went around the corner and into a closet and then onto the reflection of a mirror! lol

What's really wild is the woman in the picture clearly isn't Zhora, but that's a story for another day.

Well, I lived through 1970, and I don't recall it being an awful lot like this:
Things to Come, 1936. Of course, there's still 2036 to look forward to...

Way more advanced! lol There's lots of pictures I've taken that I'd like Zhora to be in!
