Right. Examples:

> PREDICTION: Personal computers are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes, and are commonly embedded in clothing and jewelry such as wristwatches, rings, earrings and other body ornaments

> ACCURACY: Correct

> PREDICTION: The majority of text is created using continuous speech recognition (CSR) dictation software, but keyboards are still used. CSR is very accurate, far more so than the human transcriptionists who were used up until a few years ago.

> ACCURACY: Partially correct

PREDICTION: Keyboards still exist, but most textual language is created by speaking. ACCURACY: Wrong

Mostly depends on what a personal computer is:
