Google didn't do wearable tech before Meta, Star Trek did it before both of them.

What year was the tablet? Samsung argued against Apple that they couldn't own the design of the tablet itself because it had been done in 1968 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Either way, nearly every piece of tech could probably be found first in sci-fi.

IDK about first for everything as genres go, but sci-fi would certainly be the most comprehensive.
Shit, glasses are wearable tech if you wanna get technical about it.

And if you want to get differently technical about it hearing aids are. And people with cochlear implants are cyborgs

Dang, I actually would like a Write-Top, and this technology at that point is impressive to me:
Using an advanced symbol-recognition algorithm, the Linus ("of or about lines") can convert your scrawls into perfect text at a rate of about 5 characters per second. It recognizes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
I'm sure modern tablets can do that even better but I haven't used one I really like the feeling of while writing.
*EDIT: Weight: 9lbs / 4 kg I change my mind, modern tablets are where it's at
