This is a pretty cool site someone posted on another forum I frequent:

Future Timeline | Technology | Singularity | 2020 | 2050 | 2100 | 2150 | 2200 | 21st century | 22nd century | 23rd century | Humanity | Predictions | Events (http://www.futuretimeline.net/index.htm)


I think a lot of predicting future technology is kinda fruitless - for example nobody really predicted the internet and then even after the internet nobody predicted how popular social media would be - but it's fun to think about. There's also tons of really cool geological and cosmological info on this site.

It's all cross-referenced with articles - really cool reading if you're into this kind of thing.

To all you "2001: A Space Odyssey" haters -

- I dare you to read the "Beyond 10,000 AD..." sections of this site and not hear the Richard Strauss music from the 'universe tunnel' sequence in your head. :grin:

This kind of stuff is always good for spits and giggles. But they haven't got a clue what tech will be like in the future any more than people in the 60s who thought we'd be like the Jetsons by now and all have flying cars and jetpacks.

I'm not sure if that will help me refill the old dance card. Maybe once the anti-fat drugs kick in and I can download a new personality.
