One of the technologies used in the film Minority Report was the hardware and software used for interpreting the dreams of the pre-cogs. This allowed for the visions of the pre-cogs to be saved as files and viewed by the pre-crime officers. It allowed this footage to be played, slowed down, and sped up in order to allow the officers to gather clues. The technology depicted here is pretty far fetched. As far as I am aware, there is no one who can accurately predict every murder that happens within a certain radius. The software for viewing this footage is certainly available today but there is no hardware that could allow this to happen.

Another technology that was used in the film was the machine used to change John's eyes. This machine extracted the eyes of the patient and replaced them with new ones. This gave the patient new retinas which allowed them to escape detection from the retina scanners. This is another piece of technology that is far off in the future. There is currently machines that deal with eye surgery, i.e. lasik, but nothing of this scale.
