Also, this site might be a good read for some:

Future Timeline | Technology | Singularity | 2020 | 2050 | 2100 | 2150 | 2200 | 21st century | 22nd century | 23rd century | Humanity | Predictions | Events

It is a timeline into the future that based off part fact, part fiction. Each prediction has legitimate sources listed for it's basis. This site, in fact, made me start loving and appreciating science back when I found it about 10 years ago.
