I don't know any real-world figures, but there was a famous trope about science-fiction that only 10% of it ever became true, but what little becomes real is beyond what anybody had imagined.
Example: Asimov saw computers, and robots, etc. but surpringly (in retrospect of his brilliance) failed to see networks.
