It is said that most any prediction will come true if we wait long enough. Steve Jobs was credited with being uniquely prophetic in his lifetime (though he played a hand in making his prophecies come true, so is that prophecy, or good marketing?).

Either way, Jobs predicted that every computer user would have a page printer by its side, which has mostly come true. He also predicted the day when every computer would have a 3D printer by its side. This prophecy has yet to come true, but is far less sci-fi now than when he first said it in the early 1990s.
