Japanese government released its foresight survey in June which basically is the futuristic view of a panel of 40 scientists. In past these foresight survey has been very accurate. In 1997 these futurists said that Internet based phone service would be available in 2003, the same year Skype was debuted. Here is the current foresight survey taken from Popular science magazine:
2020 - Thin flexible electronic displays will replace newspapers.
2022 - Synthetic blood will make blood donation unnecessary
2023 - Any cancer will be cured by medicine
2025 - Electric cars will go 310 miles in a single charge (In fact with rapid enhancement in Lithium Ion battery technology, this could be possible in next 6 -7 years.)
2026 - domestic humanoids (intelligent robots) will do house chores
2028 - Television will produce smells and tastes to every living room
2030 - Artificial Intelligence will be able to form opinion on books, movies and art
2031 - Earth orbiting space vehicle will offer sightseeing sale.
2033 - Stem cell research will produce artificial organs
2033 - Computers will evaluate policy recommendations and institutional plans
2035 - Commercial flights will be 100% autopilot
2035 - Scientists will be able to extract uranium and other rare elements from seawater
2037 - Seismologists can predict earthquake of a magnitude of 6 up to a year in advance
