Star Trek gave a glimpse of some of the things we have today. Cell Phones, 3.5" computer disks, Medical monitors, P.A.D.D. (Personal Access Display Device) which we now know as a tablet computer and etc. Of course Gene Roddenberry and the others who made the original show asked scientists what they thought was coming in the near future. Also I understand that H.G. Wells had in mind a machine that could provide any knowledge desired. Sort of a computer in a way but using microfilm. And there were stories about inter connected computers way back. "A logic named Joe" I believe features that.
