Ray Kurzweil quotes about
By the time we get to the 2040s, we'll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that's singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.
A Singularitarian is someone who understands the Singularity and has reflected on its meaning for his or her own life.
By the 2030s, the nonbiological portion of our intelligence will predominate.
