The technological singularity is a hypothesized point in the future variously characterized by the technological creation of self-improving intelligence, unprecedentedly rapid technological progress, or some combination of the two. [Wikipedia]

        nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged 
        as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves 
        inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity. 
        While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will 
        be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, celebrated futurist 
        Ray Kurzweil presents a view of the coming age that is both a dramatic 
        culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring 
        vision of our ultimate destiny.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9AF39C2C-D661-4CBD-8881-D9A293601369/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
