Ok, seriously this time... For anyone who likes the ideas presented in that article I suggest reading Peter F. Hamilton's sci-fi novels. The latest one,
The Dreaming Void, mentions (in some form) just about every technology people proposed in that article. Though of course none of it is new to sci-fi. Not mentioned in the article was what Hamilton called the gaiafield, which was a technological empathic field which allowed people to experience the emotions of those around them (which will be possible when we understand the neural correlates of emotion well enough).
I think the most interesting thing about predicting the future is that we're so often wrong. Look back at all the predictions people made about what today would be like and you invariably find that their predictions looked very much like their present, but shinier. (or darker, Blade Runner style). Did anyone predict the Internet and what it's allowed us to achieve?
That makes me think that yeah, we'll have the power of gods. But probably not the kind of power we're envisaging today.
