This series had handheld, pocket devices that were as powerful and capable of doing anything a computer could do. You could check your email, connect to the internet, send messages, make phone calls, play music, operated on fold-up qwerty keyboards before converting to fully touchscreen based user interfaces, and a personal assistant who would answer your questions and help you organize everything. It had cybercrime and cyberterrorism as a genuine threat and an effective means of terrorism. It predicted the rise of flat-screen TVs, the appearance of modern desktops, how every single thing in the entire world has some sort of computerized bit, the takeover of laptops for a majority of consumers, and that wifi would be everywhere.
In 2001.
It also predicted the near-complete abolishment of wired connections on laptops, those little handhelds, etc., in favor of wireless in around 2003. For reference, that was only four years after the first consumer laptop with built-in wireless.
Capcom, please use your psychic powers for good and give me a ton of money and fame.
