No, that is not interesting at all, if by interesting you mean surprising. Science fiction is based on science whether that be already possible to do or being worked on. It is not far fetched to have something working on a large scale if it already is possible on a small scale. Maybe there is one popular machine that will never see the light of day in the real world: the time machine that can go backwards in time. Going forward in time is pretty simple, all you have to do is wait. Minor problem might be surviving the wait.
For me it would be more shocking if magic based fantasy becomes reality, science fiction not so much.
