Think of the space station in Space Odyssey 2001..

How fast does that thing need to rotate in order to create earth-like gravity.. And how far way do u think Humanity is to building one like Condemned or Anchor 9

Assuming Kubrick was right 1 RPM. I'd say about 200-250 years. But I doubt that true artificial gravity will be commonplace.

SpinCalc Just enter the radius, and the acceleration from gravity you want.
