Computer networks are almost a miracle of modern time, something that really blew up beyond imagination and predictions, unlike space and flying cars, and wrapped around the world and most aspects of life.

It makes me excited for the future seeing something so huge happen that science fiction almost completely failed to predict. Maybe all the current dystopian corporate hellscape science fiction is also missing something huge? We can hope.

My favorite SF failure to predict was that fact that NOBODY imagined GPS.
