However, I have to admit that science fiction has a pretty bad record in prediction. Only a couple of authors ever hinted at the popularity of the personal computer, for example. A few of the technological marvels (奇迹) suggested by Sir Arthur C. Clarke have actually been developed, but his accurate predictions are famous because they are so rare.

然而，我必须承认科幻小说在预言方面有很多不好的记录。只有少数作家曾暗示过个人电脑的普及，例如：Arthur C. Clarke 曾经提到过的一些技术奇迹却真实的发生了，他预言的准确非常著名因为他们都很罕见。
