BGR:
This is just one of the many technologies that I predicted with the concept computer system I created over 20 years ago, as a college student:
• Portable computer unit that had integrated cameras & touchscreen (iPhone & all smartphones)
• Foldable keyboard
• Augmented reality eyepiece w/ headphone (Google Glass & Microsoft Hololens)
• ...and now, the folding touchscreen device is coming to the market (Galaxy Fold, Huawei Mate X)
Here is the description that accompanied my product design:
_____________________________
"Interactive: Omega Interactive Display is a flatscreen,
touch-sensitive LCD monitor that allows you to write, choose items,
draw, and navigate directly using the Omega stylus. Input devices such
as the mouse and drawing tablets are unnecessary with our easy to use
interface.
Compact: Our 17" display is 95% viewing area, with almost
no surrounding casing to take up space. You get a combination of sight
and sound in one compact unit with the stereo speakers embedded behind
the screen. The display also folds in half for easy transportation or
storage.
Wireless: Since the Interactive Display is powered by our
wireless electricity transmission and also has a wireless data
connection to the Omega Computer unit, there are no cords or batteries
to deal with. This means you can use it anywhere- on the sofa, in the
kitchen, or outside! If you want to stay in the office, you can attach
it back to its stand for a space-saving work area.
Multi-media: Our Interactive Display contains high-quality
6"x9" flat stereo speakers to complete the Omega multimedia experience.
Watch video, enjoy lifelike gaming, or hear crystal clear music while
computing without the burden of seperate speaker hookups!"

There are many technologies that I envisioned for this project that are only now being released or still under development. I'm still kind of surprised at how inventive "past me" was!
The next leap was 10 years ago, when I came up with a concept for an Apple branded brain-computer implant, which is nowhere near being available as a commercial product:
