Quite the opposite.

Now you are just being deliberately obtuse.

I hate that. It's dishonest.

No, I am not. Nor am I being dishonest. I made the statement that Science Fiction writers failed to predict the personal computer. You then, in reply, list:

The Datasphere, personal terminals, virtual reality, human consciuosness in electronic form...

as those had also been missed, and then commented:

Read more. You've obviously missed some...

I merely questioned if you thought those had been missed by Science Fiction writers, which is what you implied. Had you said "yes" I was intending to direct you to some writing that included some of those on the list... written prior to their development... for your enjoyment.
