Nikola Tesla, born in 1856 was an inventor an electrical and mechanical engineer a physicist and a futurist , who dreamed of lighting the world using free energy. Tesla had over 300 patent , he designed the alternating current (AC) , and nearly everything we use in the 21st century , was created or predicted by Nikola Tesla.
4 Amazing Predictions By Nikola Tesla

1-The Smartphone
Tesla predicted a wireless device that would work in a network , just like the internet , that make the world able to communicate within seconds regardless of the far distance between us. He predicted the smartphone the internet the skype (as a face to face video application) describing them all at once in 1926 :
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket.” -Nikola Tesla
2-WI-FI
Nikola Tesla was obsessed by that wireless technology, his goal was to make a wireless world, where energy electricity and information could be sent without using a wire, that would make everything in the world connected no matter how far the distance is, that's what he said about wi-fi:
"Present wireless receiving apparatus will be scrapped for much simpler machines; static and all forms of interference will be eliminated, so that innumerable transmitters and receivers may be operated without interference. It is more than probable that the household’s daily newspaper will be printed ‘wirelessly’ in the home during the night. Domestic management—the problems of heat, light and household mechanics—will be freed from all labor through beneficent wireless power." -Nikola Tesla
3-Self Driving Cars
Nikola Tesla predicted autopilot cars back in 1898, it took 118 years for this prediction to happen, this shows us how ahead of his time Nikola Tesla was. Self driving cars was achieved by the famous company TESLA owned by Elon Musk in 2016.
"As early as 1898, I proposed to representatives of a large manufacturing concern the construction and public exhibition of an automobile carriage which, left to itself, would perform a great variety of operations involving something akin to judgement". -Nikola Tesla
4-Flying Cars
This is a concept we still see as a future, maybe in the few next years flying cars will be perfectly achieved.
"I foresee the development of the flying machine exceeding that of the automobile, and I expect Mr. Ford to make large contributions toward this progress. The problem of parking automobiles and furnishing separate roads for commercial and pleasure traffic will be solved. Belted parking towers will arise in our large cities, and the roads will be multiplied through sheer necessity, or finally rendered unnecessary when civilization exchanges wheels for wings.” -Nikola Tesla
