HG Wells didn't own any of that stuff either, yet his stories were quite prophetic

Sort of--but a fair number of his stories weren't set in the future
at all.
For me, the attraction of Bradbury is his way with words--almost
poetic in the way he crafted them. That's probably one of the
reasons that his stories set for film didn't particularly work all
that well.
For someone who used a typewriter for his writing, didn't drive and
refused to fly, he wasn't much of a futurist in real life. I don't
imagine that he ever owned a mobile phone, either.
