Science Fiction » in reply to Isaac Asimov's predictions, 50 years ago.

he nailed very few things

Maybe he was carried away by the World Fair but you would expect better from Asimov. Jeanne Dixon would have done better I'll bet.

Asimov's predictions have little resemblance to our world. The Science Channel has a series on Scifi writers and their predictions. Their hits look much better when singled out from the misses.

All the old masters missed the arrival of the internet and the effect of micro-chips on computers. Reasonably, they all imagined more progress in space exploration. Most imagined more progress in robotics and energy sources.
