Ray Kurzweil on how technology will transform us | Video on TED.com
THIS video (and several others on TED talks) has stuck to my sulci and gyri!
His big emphasis seems to be on nanotechnology, and in both his Ted talks, he's suggested that we're going to see such advances in re-engineering humans that it will be hard to fathom. He bases all his prognostication not on pie-in-the-sky dreaming but on hard, cold logical tracking of where we've been/where we're going. The growth rates in the evolution of technology have been exponential, and he does not see this trend leveling out or canceling itself out anytime soon.
I encourage anyone who's into the potentials of the future to do like me and follow this fellow's thinking to its limits.
Wild.
