You need to go so far into the future, for which you need to know so much about physics and engineering and etc. to even try and predict what will happen, that you may as well start looking for a job applying that knowledge rather than struggle to be a writer with totally uncertain income.
Maybe that's a sign that the Singularity is indeed going to happen. The whole idea is that the speed of technological achievements continues to increase to the point new advances start coming faster than we can follow them. After the Singularity you're presumed to live like this: you start to become acquainted to the last industrial revolution-like development, with all it entails in terms of new technologies, and you hear it's already 20 generations behind, individual technological achievements within each of those revolutions so numerous they can't even be numbered. Then you start to vaguely and very superficially try to get a glimpse of what they were about and 50 new revolutions happened in the meantime...
Science fiction just isn't possible when science goes faster than your writing. At best you start writing fantasy as the difference isn't clear anymore.
