DESCRIPTION

Arthur C. Clarke once said that, "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." The future will be far more surprising than most people realize.

Kurzweil – 2029/2045 Moore’s Law “Our Final Invention”

Nearly half of American jobs today could be automated in "a decade or two," according to new research. The question is: Which half?

THE SINGULARITY

Ray Kurzweil Seven Books / The Singularity Is Near

A point in the future (2045), when a greater-than-human intelligence irreversibly changes the arc of humanity's future. The theory predicts an artificially intelligent machine that's so smart, people cannot even comprehend its abilities. Some call this, “our final invention,” and say it will be the harbinger of “the post-Human era.”

Invented Flatbed Scanner Invented Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Invented Text-To-Speech & Print To Speech Synthesizers Invented Piano Synthesizer Awarded National Medal Of Technology By Pres. Clinton 20 Honorary Doctorates PBS Selected Him As One Of 16 “Revolutionaries Who Made

America” For His Work In Pattern Recognition (AI) A prodigy from Queens created hardware and software to help blind people read and

musicians make music. His inventions, writings, and influential thinking have explored and exploited technology in many ways, and helped shape ongoing work in artificial intelligence.

Schrodinger’s Cat: If you put a cat in a box, add poison gas activated by the decay of a radioactive atom and seal the box, it is impossible to determine the state of the cat until the box is opened. Until opening the cat is in a state of superposition, both dead and alive at once.
