Ah, the possibilities:
20 years from now: Advances in technology will cause world leaders to convene resulting in the decision that everyone is now officially living in "The Future". All citizens will be issued a form-fitting silver jumpsuit and laser pistol.
20 years from now: US and Russian forces collide in Washington DC, engaging in a fierce battle with paintball guns as part of the biannual "Reenact 'Call of Duty' Day" (Airport Reenactment skippable).
20 years from now: The technology present in Deus Ex: Human Revolution will either look scarily accurate or incredibly silly.
20 years from now: Thunderdome becomes one of the leading forms of entertainment... and it's awesome!!!

Me too. Fortunately for guys like us, when Mecha-Hitler arises to form the 4th Reich, he'll be promptly destroyed due to our experience playing Wolfenstein 3D. We'll be heralded as heroes of the world, and showered with money and women.
20 years from now: We finally receive a signal from an extraterrestrial intelligence. Unfortunately, rather than being a codex of their civilization and knowledge, it turns out to be a live and unfiltered stream of interstellar Chat Roulette. Scientists are faced with the unenviable task of analyzing 2 hours worth of alien penises. (At least we know where to kick them if they invade.)
20 years from now: An amazing breakthrough in physics makes faster than light travel a real possibility. Construction of starships immediately commences due to speculation by exo-biologists that there might be "hot alien chicks to bang."
20 years from now: I'll be sipping a beer on my expansive Martian estate, yelling at kids to "Get the hell off my perfectly bio-engineered lawn."
A bunch of other cool stuff happens, but I don't feel like throwing down all the spoiler tags.
