LOL. A lot of devices seen in the original Star Trek (a pad with a stylus) and in The Next Generation (tablets, readers), have already become reality or are even surpassed. Some computer specifications mentioned for KITT (Knight Rider) where HUGE in the 1980's, but have been superseded in the beginning of the 21st century.
I remember that he mentioned that he could store 250 billion bytes, and had a memory capacity of 1000 million bytes, but that would only be 250GB of storage and 1GB of memory. Those are 2002-era specifications
If I could only remember the episode in which these specifications were mentioned; then I could actually check them
edit:
found it.
1,000 megabits => 125 megabyte. Unkown if this was memory, or storage capacity. Even less than I remembered
If memory, that would be 1998-era specs (for me), if storage capacity, it'd be somewhere around 1990-1991. My 1994 computer came with a 480 MB hard drive already.
