From the Dark Conspiracy novels that GDW parallel earth game had some predictions about the year 2013 (the canon year for that game I believe).
I remember it saying that a full fledged video camera would be the size of a paperback book, and I did not believe that was going to happen. It also had the following stats for a powerful home computer
They only missed most of the stats by about a factor of 1000.
This world was supposed to be more technologically advanced as well due to alien influence.
