I have read almost all of Asimov's Sci-Fi and I think this is article also is a little grandiose. We right now have better computer technology than most of what we find in Asimov's Foundations Series. Example, he thought books wouldn't be read as much because with computers you only could read words as they scroll across to the right. He thought displays would stay at one line of LCD display. The Kindle is much better than the books from a million years in the future.
