I suspect if the topic of foreseeing is explored, there were
pre-existing thoughts afoot, and writers write de novo scripts.
Dick Tracy's watch was fiction in its day...years of tech advancment
was required before Martin Cooper's invention of the DynaTAC cellphone
(1973), and more years required before Simon Personal Communicator,
Point being, recycling and/or modifing "old or existing idealism" is
nothing new in sci-fi. And, there will be correct/false
predictions...with physics determining the winners.
