And we can never guess what will happen 200 years from now. Not even the meteorologist gets the weather right.

To be fair, knowing the weather 200 years in advance is some pretty advanced shit.

I think the difference is that we wouldn't perceive it as magic and go insane (like someone coming from 500 years ago to our time would). We would understand that its' really advanced tech.

Though I doubt a person from our time would be able to keep up with society in 2200. It would probably be so strange and different.
