Science Fiction Is The Great

I Consider Myself An Inventor, Entrepreneur, And Author.

By The Time Of The Singularity, There Won't Be A Distinction Between Humans And Technology. This Is Not Because Humans Will Have Become What We Think Of As Machines Today, But Rather Machines Will Have Progressed To Be Like Humans And Beyond. Technology Will Be The Metaphorical Opposable Thumb That Enables Our Next Step In Evolution.

Death Gives Meaning To Our Lives. It Gives Importance And Value To Time. Time Would Become Meaningless If There Were Too Much Of It.

When I Was A Student At Mit, We All Shared One Computer And It Took Up A Whole Building. The Computer In Your Cell Phone Today Is A Million Times Cheaper And A Thousand Times More Powerful. What Now Fits In Your Pocket 25 Years From Now Will Fit Into A Blood Cell And Will Again Be Millions Of Times More Cost Effective.

Take Death For Example. A Great Deal Of Our Effort Goes Into Avoiding It. We Make Extraordinary Efforts To Delay It, And Often Consider Its Intrusion A Tragic Event. Yet We'd Find It Hard To Live Without It. Death Gives Meaning To Our Lives. It Gives Importance And Value To Time. Time Would Become Meaningless If There Were Too Much Of It.
