I don't think it's true, sci-fi rarely tries to be an accurate prediction of the future.

Rather it's talking about the present, by accentuating some trends of the present to make people think about it. Black Mirror in particular is all about that, it's exaggerating some trends from the present to make us aware of them and the potential consequences if pushed too far.
