Sometimes reality and fantasy don&#8217;t quite cross over as we&#8217;d hope, and we&#8217;re left merely dreaming about the inventions that would change our lives for good&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why vouchercloud has compiled an infographic profiling the &#8216;Future Technology we can Expect from Films&#8217;, bringing together some of the best tech and tools from Star Wars &#8211; and other technically-tempting movies &#8211; and researched just how soon we could be seeing them make an appearance in the real world.<\/p>\n<p>From casual space travel to self driving cars, let us walk you through some technology from the distant &#8211; and hopefully not-so-distant &#8211; future, and see just how long you&#8217;ll be left waiting for that product
