Writers of the Future: 1987 Time Capsule Predictions
Now while I do loathe most anything involved with L. Ron Hubbard (he founded Scientology afterall), I do like the idea of this. Basically, in 1987 they had several well-known sci-fi writers make predictions on what they think 2012 will be like, and then unearth the predictions 25 years later. See for yourself who got close, and who got so far off the mark.

Think: global file sharing of designs for servicable weapons, from pistols on up

size/quality of the object to the completeness (snap together construction) -- is
already moving forward quickly. The weapons effort will just be along for the
ride."
