'Science Fact not Science Fiction': Science Fiction and predictions- what came true and what did not

Want to predict the future? Science fiction often gets dismissed for being over 'imaginative' about technology and its outcomes. This blog tries to explore the work of several science fiction works (science fiction writers and movie makers) which tried to predict technology. What actually came true and what did not. The actual record of science fiction shows some impressive predictions and of course also a big number of predicted futures that never came about. It is interesting to see that some predictions are rather accurate about our technological future. Many of these technology predictions are now an integral part of our lives. Furthermore, I will look at current trends into future developments. I will create three different timelines representing predictions which became true, predictions which did not became true and future predictions.
