Arthur C. Clarke is one of the most influential Sci-Fi writers of the 20th century, and anyone should recognize his name as the author of mesmerizing 2001: A Space Odyssey. He was also called a futurist, and he made some interesting predictions that seem to have come through.
A quote that is attributed to Niels Bohr works pretty well with all predictions: Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. Not many physicists, engineers, writers, or any people with insights about potential breakthroughs will make predictions. As the quote says, it's easy to make a fool out of yourself, even if you are in a position to know things that most people don't.
