Predictions of technology from long ago just aren't interesting, since it's trivial to fantasize about technologies without having to think about implementation.
I can predict today of future flying cars, teleporters, mind-controlled interfaces, Turing-test AIs, electrically powered autonomous airplanes, giant tubes that go through the center of the Earth and take me directly to China, a massive spaceship that takes all of Earth's 20 billion people to a new galaxy in the year 2380, etc. etc.

Doesn't mean that I know anything.
