Does science fiction dictate the course of invention?

I read an article yesterday that new advertisement bilboards have been invented that pick up signals from bluetooth moblies and project personalised advertisements addressing the person who is passing them... this is scarily similar to Philip K. Dick's vision of the future in Minority Report.

I just think it's interesting that something which starts out as part of a sci-fi story can become reality a few years later. How many other things have only been invented because somebody dreamed them up in a dystopian vision of the future?

I don't like the way things are going -it's all a bit too nineteen eighty-four-ish for me!!!

Atoms, isotopes and elements?

I don't understand how scientists knew there were such a thing as atoms and isotopes a hundred years ago. They can't be seen through the most powerful microscope. How can you possibly know that this element has 6 neutrons, that one 12 and they can change when they want. How did they see this?
