Further into the future than 2004:
CIA’s global trends for 2020. But looking at the Project for the New American Century is probably more useful (PFNAC has a very well designed site I must say).
Best and Worst Case Scenarios for the Future from Metropolis Magazine.
Other stuff:
Dan Hill: Addiction to Information
the Attention Economy (via Abe on Margin Walker)
What happened to Margin Walker, BTW?
Wink Site: create WAP site for your blog and other stuff. So far Abe, Adam, and Tobias have blogs Wink. Looks like it would make using WAP a whole lot better. (you may need to enable popups to use their site)
