An excellent and hilarious example is Murray Leinster's "A Logic Named Joe", published in early 1946 (probably written in 1945), which practically nails personal computers and the Internet to a T, including the kids using their parents' unsecured computers to watch adult pornography. Except that Leinster predicted that they would be called logics instead of home computers.
I lived through the VHS-Betamax wars of the 1980s. Today I see predictions that both the DVD and the Blu-Ray will probably become extinct in the next decade.
