Towards the Singularity...

One of the defining characteristics of this age is the notion of a technological singularity. Whether or not our civilization actually achieves such an event, there is surely little doubt that we are currently experiencing a period of time marked by incredibly rapid discovery and innovation. For some time I've been a fan of Ray Kurzweil, first for the musical instruments he makes, and secondly for his writing on futuristic themes. So I'm very excited to be attending The Singularity Summit at the end of October, an event at which I hope to meet some like-minded folks, and hopefully sharpen my vision with respect to what may come...
