9 things 'Starship Troopers' totally nailed about today's technology by Nathan McAlone on Dec 27, 2015, 12:35 PM Advertisement
 "Starship Troopers" has pretty much everything you could want from a satirical science-fiction action flick. There's the over-the-top action and the cheesy dialogue with gems like, "The only good bug is a dead bug!" And then there's the awesome technology that the makers predicted we'd have in the future. While much of it's still in the realm of fantasy — like faster-than-light space travel — the movie also predicted many things that are already part of our everyday tech. Perhaps most impressive, it did so in 1997 — before the internet completely changed our lives. Read on to see what "Starship Troopers" totally nailed about today's tech.

Based on the stylus, it looks like the Surface Pro beats the iPad in the Starship Troopers universe — though Apple has recently com around to the stylus with the its Apple Pencil. 
With fingerprint scanners becoming the standard on phones, it's pretty clear that Starship Troopers was right when it assumed we wouldn't be using passwords to sign into our computers in the future.
