The Singularity




"Technology is affordable only by the wealthy when it doesn't work very well. By the time it is perfected it ends up being extremely inexpensive."
"Consider mobile phones; only the wealthy could afford them when they didn't work. Now they work extremely well and are much more than phones, three billion people have them and six billion will have them in a couple of years," Ray said.


Ray Kurzweil is also the author of "The Singularity is Near", in which he speculates about a time when machines surpass human intelligence and use that advanced learning to continually improve themselves.
