The 2006 predictions were not exactly stellar...

The first was that we would have remote healthcare access, that we would be able to do video check-ins with doctors, and that we would have electronic health records...at least half a FAIL.

The second is that we would have 3D internet; the internet would be like a virtual world where all websites appeared like store fronts...FAIL.

The third is that we would have context-aware mobile phones. While there are some apps that are semi-aware, they rarely work and use so much battery power that they are practically useless. On top of that, they generally miss what you are looking for any direct you to some far away store that paid to be featured and does not have what you want...FAIL.

The fourth is that we would have real-time speech translation...total FAIL; even text to text translations are still downright useless.

The fifth is that we would have nanotechnology improving water quality and solar power...we do now have nano solar panels, but they cost more than the old designs...and the nanobots for water purification still don't exist...half fail.

So, 5 years later and two of their predictions came true half-way.
