I did not read all of this because it is stupidly long.
However, I notice that most of the early items are either high probability hits or actually postdiction (they've already happened). Though I suppose I could be misinterpreting some since this list must have been made in the 90's. "Centuries hence" just means this is an open-ended prediction, so as long as it doesn't happen he can just say it's still a long way off (even though it's a near certainty if trends continue--the only thing uncertain is the date). Also, most of the really wild predictions are so far off nobody will notice or care by then. Who will know who this guy is in 2099?

I guess you guys don't have all the facts. Raymond predicted the majority of the early 21st century stuff in 1980. He has written dozens of books about the future.
