"The problem with science fiction is that so many of its predictions didn't come true." Or so they would have you believe (wearing my tin foil hat and passing on the soylent green).

Aah, but some of it DID come very true. Which is why the orbit where communications satellites are parked today is called "Clarke's Orbit". Besides, nobody really reads sci-fi to receive accurate predictions about the future. You read it because it is interesting, because the author has taken our current reality and departed off on a tangent that makes you go "WOW!" :-)
