Time travel will become possible on March 17, 2431. This will enable people to go backward in time and make amazingly accurate predictions.

Probably around 2025 some sort of permanent functional moon base is established. By 2100, renewable sources are the vast majority of our energy supply. By 2200, in spite (or because of) our half-hearted efforts at weening off oil, Antarctica has melted, exposing quadrillions of new barrels of oil. Energy technology proceeds to regress 200 years

Unfortunately memory doesn't equate consciousness, anyone remember the 6th day?

Otherwise teleporting would be pretty neat.

Well, I'm conscious of remembering this ... from 2 years ago...

Didn't notice the date :)

2 years ago, it had already been 3 years old!
OP is 2004. I was young then!
Interesting to see how wrong we were in such short time spans. "2007, discovery of Higgs boson."
