Awesome: The future according to Google search results

xkcd has done some digging and learned exactly what will happen in the next 91 years, according to Google search results. Read on to learn exactly when cars will be driven by dogs, Atlantis will reappear, and when HTML5 will actually be completed.

Quit saving up for that DeLorean. Thanks to the power of Google, we can now predict, with extreme accuracy, the next 91 years of human life on Earth. The guys at xkcd have looked up the first page of search results for every year until 2101. Using some complicated search ant plotting techniques (not really), they have created a full timeline of the future so we can begin prepare for the inevitable.

Some of our favorite future moments:

2012: Apocalypse occurs2015: Extreme poverty and hunger eradicated2018: Jesus returns to Earth2021: U.S. debt reaches 97 percent of GDP2022: HTML 5 completed2023: Jesus returns to Earth (again)2024: Atlantis begins to reappear2028: U.S. debt paid off2032: U.S. elects first married lesbian president2032: Entire world converted to Christianity2044: Childhood obesity hits 100 percent2045: Humans and machines merge2050: Sex with robots possible2053: Cars driven by dogs2061: Halley’s comet returns2063: First spacecraft exceeds the speed of light (1st warp drive)2069: Public masturbation legalized2084: Robot policemen introduced2101: War!

The full list is below.

There are a few great Web comics, but I always like the guys at xkcd.
