Ray Kurzweil - Kurzweil's Law - Long Now Seminars About Long Term Thinking

This is one of those "What if he is right !!?" talks. Ray Kurzweil makes a graphic and persuasive case that a law of accelerating returns has been operative for eons as well as decades, and the pace is now approaching a velocity that can only be called transformative.

Renowned inventor Ray Kurzweil is author of THE AGE OF INTELLIGENT MACHINES; THE AGE OF SPIRITUAL MACHINES; and his brand new book, THE SINGULARITY IS NEAR: WHEN HUMANS TRANSCEND BIOLOGY.
