Back in '95, Robert Metcalfe, the inventor of ethernet, predicted that the Internet would suffer a "catastrophic collapse" the following year; he promised to eat his words if it did not.

During his keynote speech at the sixth International World Wide Web Conference in 1997, he took a printed copy of his column that predicted the collapse, put it in a blender with some liquid and then consumed the pulpy mass. This was after he tried to eat his words in the form of a very large cake, but the audience strongly protested.

Heh..and he should have for making such a stupid prediction!

Technology keeps advancing at Moore’s law even at this later stage. Until we get to the atomic level, I can’t imagine it changing.
