The Future According to Google [Comic]

xkcd gets its share of backlash from within the geek community for its occasional nerd-pandering (‘hey, you like math and video games? me too!’), but it’s stuff like this and the radiation chart that proves that xkcd cartoonist Randall Munroe is still the best in the business. Anyone can profess to enjoy Star Wars and Portal, but laborious, useful data-crunching is the mark of true geekery.

Here, Munroe combines first-page Google search results for a number of queries about the future to paint a picture of the coming century. Oh, and when the nerd-pandering punchline finally arrives, it is just delicious.
