Chapter 1: Discussion
At school, Ender and his fellow students use “desks” that seem to be similar to the iPads that are becoming more and more common in schools today—something every student has that you can type on, send emails from, and draw on with your finger. This book was first published in 1985, over twenty years before Apple introduced the iPad. How could Orson Scott Card have predicted something as revolutionary as tablet computers at a time when laptops hadn’t been invented and having a personal computer at home was unheard of for most people? What does this tell us about the way technology and science fiction stories can influence one another?

Orson may have been thinking of scientific advances that probably weren't going to happen, but with his ideas may have sparked the idea to inventors to create such devices. This shows that the ideas that may seem impossible in past years could become reality in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
Its simple really. He is a time traveler.

# data[].attributes.body
The author was probably just trying to imagine what he thought was advanced technology. The Ender's Game is a Sceince Fiction book so it's not surprising he thoug

# data[].attributes.body
Because its a make believe book, they had ideas for the future. The Author may have thought it was possible and would inspire others to make it. The Author may have thought of the most absurd thinks like desk iPads.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the author was attempting to make a guess at what the future will look like for technology and humans in general. With that there would be a influence on the human society.

The author was probably just trying to imagine what he thought was advanced technology. The Ender's Game is a Sceince Fiction book so it's not surprising he thought of something like the IPad since he would have been trying to think of some types of fantastic technology.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it could have been a prediction for what he thinks the future could have. Science fiction is dramatic and shows un realistic things in the moment that could be realistic later on.

# data[].attributes.body
It predicts and tells what will happen in the future because its a sci-fi type of book.

# data[].attributes.body
science fiction allows people to take ideas that sound un truthful and make them truthful. it can influence people to do crazy things

# data[].attributes.body
I think he came up with these things by thinking of things that seemed futuristic and unreal at the time. There would probably also other people talking about these futuristic ideas around him. Also today we still come up with these futuristic ideas that seem impossible could happen in the future

# data[].attributes.body
Thought the idea was creative and different and tech creators would think the idea is creative and make it reality.

# data[].attributes.body
Nathan Jones says that endersgame is a sci-fi book and sci-fi books usually are based in the future, so the author of this book predicted what the future would be like with his desks being a similar thing to apple products. In the movie back to the future which came out in 1985 that showed what the future would look like and they predicted alot  of things that ended up actually being made

# data[].attributes.body
The book is a science fiction novel so the author probably just through of the most ridiculous idea possible at the time and it became through, Another examples of this are when people would make fun of the moon landing before it actually happened or maybe he saw the idea on a TV show or movie.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he would have predicted it because at the time movies came out that had all this cool technology was in movies. He could have predicted it to see how helpful technology would be for humans

# data[].attributes.body
It is a Sci-fi book so it exaggerates what things will look like in the future. Many movies from the past thought that we would have flying cars and self-fitting shoes by this time.

# data[].attributes.body
-He could have just been thinking about what he wants the future to be like and then it nothing seems too far away.
-People could have taken the ideas from some of the movies and books, and then actually turn them into the real world. Science fiction can also inspired people to come through with those ideas since some have a gifted talent for technology

# data[].attributes.body
It’s a bigger version of a phone that is more effective and has more uses than the regular phone does. He probably wanted to take advantage of the great idea before it was made by somebody else

# data[].attributes.body
-He could have just had a random thought about something that seems far fetched and futuristic.
-People could possibly have taken inspiration from the description, or vice versa, he could have seen newer developments in technology and thought of something even more advanced than that.

# data[].attributes.body
New tech means more acoustic guitar “creative” authors so asentuly the conversation went “wouldn’t be cool if you could use your finger as a mouse”

# data[].attributes.body
its syfi technology

Science fiction can inspire people to do more and create the things that they read. It can also influence people to create something that can impact the whole world, and people will continue to have more advancements in technology since its a big impact already.

# data[].attributes.body
He could have predicted because of similar things like that and thought that our world could advance to that technology. The science fiction stories could influence the ways newer inventors and scientists could base their new inventions

# data[].attributes.body
Sci-fi books like this push the boundaries of imagination and modern technology. With all these crazy ideas of futuristic ideals and items, inventors of our time can base their creations of these creative ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
he saw a tv and thought what if i can touch that and thought of an ipad

# data[].attributes.body
He could predict ipads/tablets like we are predicting driving cars, and flying delivery. It’s predictions.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a Sci-fi book so it kinda exaggerates what things will look like in the future. For example many movies from the past thought that we would have flying cars by this time.

# data[].attributes.body
He had an idea to make something convenient for all uses and people. Like in some movie people thought flying cars would be a thing in 2020

# data[].attributes.body
Even though computers weren't invented yet the idea of them was beginning to come up. This is similar to how people viewed self driving cars a few years ago.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes

# data[].attributes.body
The more advanced tech gets the more “creative” authors get about sci fi

Its simple really. He is a time traveler.

Real Answer: It would be like writing on paper but digital.

Ender is an epic gamer.

# data[].attributes.body
He had an idea where someone can write on with the touch of a finger. He wanted to portray something in the future and he thought of an electric device that can be used very easily and be very widespread for people.

# data[].attributes.body
Because it was a futuristic syfi thing and this is a futuristic syfi book

# data[].attributes.body
-he thought of the convince of personal tablets.
-Apple also could have used the book as inspiration for the Ipad
-multiple discovery

Sci-fi is based off of the advanced tech and future

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the author was attempting to make a guess at what the future will look like for technology and humans in general. He did a relatively good job with this as he correctly guessed what the future of tech will be like for us during the 21st century. Apple may of taken inspiration from the book for the creation of the iPad however this is highly unlikely.
