He didn't only predict it, he invented it and built it. Nikola Tesla is the co-inventor of radio, remote control and was a pioneer for wirelessly transfer of both data and electricity!
Check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_control#History or 300 of his other inventions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tesla_patents

Cool, future is already here, but unevenly distributed. We have already got one of four over there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalia_Grybauskait%C4%97
Germany doesn't have a female president, yet. But the Chancellor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Merkel) has more power anyway.

Looks like there have been 9 female presidents (of various countries, mostly Latin America). That and a bunch of other female heads of state.
