I was browsing through a blog and came across this still from the 1982 film, Blade Runner.
"Is Harrison Ford using an iPhone to control his apartment elevator in the 1982 movie Blade Runner? The likeness is exceptional. The metallic outline, the pictogram-matrix-touchscreen, the black chassie and the designated home-button area at the bottom. Coincidental? Hardly!" (http://design4dough.wordpress.com)
I think the likeness to the iphone is extremely similar but I don't think iphone looked at anything like this when coming up with the phone. It just goes to show that although technology has developed dramatically since 1982, interfaces have not changed that much. I think this is because user friendly is a must and making easy to use interfaces similar to this will still be around in another 30 years no matter how much technology develops. This is another great example of looking back at the past to gain ideas and inspiration for current projects.
