Comment "Invented" the tablet in 1990's? (Score 1) 374

I'm sure I saw someone using a tablet computer in the 1984 (which I'm pretty sure was before the 90's) film "Runaway" starring Tom Selleck. I think this concept might have been around a while longer. As much as Hollywood science makes some people sad, I wonder how many "unique" inventions and concepts appeared some years after a movie.

If we can clone Bruce Willis and make a frozen stockpile it means we can bombard the space disaster with a mass of ice cold bruce willi missiles until its velocity is changed (this may be known as the yippie ki yay effect) such that it is safely deflected back into space thus solving the problem for ever. Maybe I haven't thought this plan through, but it seems no less reasonable than any other plan that makes no sense.
