1. GPT CHAT

OpenAI's GPT Chat is an AI application that can answer questions from users in various fields and is taking the world by storm.
And some people have discovered that the author of the story "Doraemon" has accurately predicted the appearance of ChatGPT. Specifically, in the 17th short story collection, the story of Journalist Nobita, mentioned a technology from the future, which can compose a series of superheroes saving the world, or do math, solve problems,... by learning from existing works, the data provided.
This futuristic technology in comics is not unlike the way current AI systems learn from massive data sets to mimic the original author's style.
2. Automatic voice recorder

Doraemon gave Nobita one of his gadgets and said: “If you are too lazy to write, just speak into this microphone. The printer will automatically print your words onto paper!”
And today, technology companies like Google and Apple have also launched voice recognition features that allow conversion from speech to text, even text to speech.
3. Home delivery service

Shopping and home delivery has only become popular in recent years, but in Doraemon stories, this form of delivery has been around for a long time. With the “telephone ordering” gadget, Nobita only needs to say “Hello”, pick up the phone and call, and it’s ready! And especially in the story, this service also applies to human goods.
4. Self-driving cars

When Nobita, Suneo, Shizuka,... were still students in class 3E, the car that could drive and control itself was a miracle that only appeared thanks to Doraemon's gadget.

But now, famous car manufacturers such as Tesla, Mercedes, Nissan,... have all launched smart self-driving car technology. But compared to the treasure of the robot cat from the 22nd century, today's self-driving cars still cannot compare.
5. Underwater Campfire

In the story, Nobita and his friends can freely explore and play at the bottom of the sea without fear of darkness thanks to Doraemon's underwater campfire.

The real-life version of this gadget is called Thermite – a substance made of 50% aluminum powder and 50% rust, which requires a magnesium strip to light. Thermite can even burn underwater!
6. 3D Printer

Doraemon has a magical gadget that can instantly construct 3D objects drawn in a template.

3D printers have appeared in the real world today but the way they work is a bit more complicated than the machine in Doraemon. We have to input all the information and details into the device to be able to print out 3D shapes, not simply giving out images.
7. Instant photography technology

The gadget that could cut out the frame and instantly turn it into a picture of Doraemon had made countless children around the world admire. At that time, cameras were a luxury for most people, so it was clearly a fantasy in the minds of readers.

But now the Polaroid camera with the ability to take instant photos, photo printers that directly export photos from smartphones or cameras have become too familiar to many people.
8. On-demand navigation app

When reading Doraemon, many people were surprised by the navigation tool and thought that this only existed in stories. But now, Google Maps is a familiar navigation application that helps us get to the right destination.
