Ray Kurzweil’s 2003 book “The Singularity is Near” had numerous charts showing how the run-up to the technological singularity would result in off-the-charts exponential growth over a few short years in the mid-2020s. Well, we’re here…and that’s exactly what we’re seeing! Here are today’s charts, and they look little different:
Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.
