Which of Kurzwell’s Predictions Do you Agree With?

With the advances in technology I would have to say I agree with Kurzwell’s prediction on how technology will transform us.

The future holds great things and this to can be possible.

Are you thrilled or worried about the coming singularity and exponential technology advances?

It would be great having a school at an advanced level, and think of the...
