SCi-fi Dreams

Staying up in the night nursing my baby got me the opportunity to reread another one of my favorite books - “Contact” by Carl Sagan. What struck me as interesting this time around was how wrong Carl Sagan’s predictions were about the millennium as set in the novel. Here are a few examples -

— Russia is still a superpower rivaling America and still behind the “Iron Curtain”.
— Widespread use of “holographic” images
— No internet - scientists still use telegrams to tell each other of their urgent discoveries - no email
— Marijuana is grown legally and exported to France where flavored marijuana is sold on streets legally
— No mention of Islamic terrorism being a major threat

These are all I can recall off the top of my head - anyone remember anything else from other sci-fi predictions?
