The history of carbon paper--something I used from childhood through the first few years of my career. It's intimately associated with my chemistry degree as our lab books used carbon paper so we could turn in a copy of experimental writeups but still have a copy for ourselves. This was of course when computers were in big rooms and you punched cards to run programs and there was no such term as "word processing".

Blog post dated March 31, 2009 from Oxford University Press about words that originated in science fiction and became part of the language of science/technology. Why is geostationary satellite not mentioned? I think there are some other Arthur C. Clarke terms missing as well.
