In 1964, Isaac Asimov wrote up a set of predictions about life in 2014. He was pretty close on a few and way off on others. That same year, author and inventor Arthur C. Clarke appeared on the BBC and described a world of instant global communication made possible by satellites.

He nails almost everything, from the Internet and email to smartphones, Google and even smartwatches.

Unfortunately, not only Asimov and Clarke were accurate. Orwell was too.
