Wait. That's only 100 years from now. 3012, now that would be a kicker, but 2112? Predicting we'll all be levitating brains or that we will have recreated The Matrix seems about as foolish as people in 1912 predicting the same ridiculous future for 2012. 100 years barely registers on the 10000-year human historical calendar; heck, I'll probably live 100 years or more according to some demographic predictions I've read.
Actually, I may not even need to be cryogenically frozen to last until 2112. But I'll be a decrepit old fart by that point so I might just want to call it quits after that year. That way on my death bed on January 1st, 2113, I can tell my loving, unsuspecting family "Come closer... Closer... HAH! I lived through 2 palindrome years (2002 and 2112) and YOU didn't!" and then kick the bucket. I love messing with people like that.
Nonetheless, here are some predictions, headline style, which I can't help but hope come true some time between today and 2112:
GENETICISTS DISCOVER TRACE DINOSAUR D.N.A. IN AMBER; JURASSIC PARK NOW POSSIBLE THANKS TO CONTRIBUTION BY BILL GATES JR.
