I would add another column before the last: date fiction claims invented in reality.

For example:

Warp Drive - 1966 - 2063 - N/A

But alas, the site appears to be dedicated to books, so Star Trek's reinventions of older ideas would probably be ineligible for inclusion.

That's actually what I had in mind. My columns would have been:

Warp Drive - 2063 - N/A
