The issues regarding Technology have gained a popular recognition by the influence of the science fiction genre. Emerging essentially during the 19th century, this genre is concomitant with the advancements of Technology and Science.
Science fiction takes themes which are at the time often approached in society, as well as imaginative possibilities of what may occur according to scientific aspects. For example, Jules Verne explored the idea of travelling to locals at the outset impossible to reach, like the center of the Earth, and H. G. Wells explored the idea of time travelling.

However, the progresses in Science are determined by people mentality, which is intrinsically related to Culture. Although this genre is influenced by technological advancements, the fiction has also a role in the progress. An odd case of this fact is a popular belief that the moon landing in the Apollo program was an idea of the President John F. Kennedy, as he watched the sitcom The Honeymooners.
