TVs shows and movies are not predictions. In fact, there are very few actual predictions, at least by anyone knowledgeable. Professional futurists, with very few exceptions, realize the futility and don't bother. Instead, they make "forecast"' which give a sense of which direction we are heading in and a rough idea of how long things will take, but there are always too many uncertainties to predict with accuracy. Breakthroughs and discoveries by definition cannot be predicted and have the most impact on the future.
