At the Long Now site one finds a wonderful collection of predictions about the future.
Super AI computers by 2029 - or not? Voice recognition software that index all your conversations by 2020?
AI computer virus by 2040? Bio terror by 2020? Immortal men and mice by 2040? ET phones home by 2050?

     My favourite bets from the Long Now list:
