In my free time I set up a website which would let me play with that very question. It would serve as a set of polls, taking input from visitors on when they expected future technologies to arise. The whole thing is hardly scientific, but I think it’s interesting and fun.

Prescience was born, and after roughly a month in development, I’ve checked nearly everything on my feature list. My task now is to try and find as many people as possible who would be interested in the website, as the premise is based on large numbers of participants. Please, check it out and tell me what you think in the comments!
