It might have just been wishful thinking. Stuff that could not be made at the time because the tech did not exist at the time.
Is it Science based or Magical ? Back when, it had to be Magic

Electric Light (Edison era), Electric lights (Modern era)
SF proposed wall sized video back when TV's were B&W and trying to break the 13" range.
The Dick Tracy comics of the 50's , had '2-way wrist radios' back when mobile radio sets of the time, filled the trunk (boot for those across the pond) of the police car. Nowadays, it has Color Video and it is even smaller than depicted.

The list goes onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
