idiots are misquoting him over and over...WTF doesnt anyone do any research before they just blab blab blab back and forth!

What these to guys seem not to be able to differentiate is achievable technology and Ubiquitous technology.
Allot of people seem not to be able to understand this.
Kurzweil first predicts technology that has been achieved such as google driverless car and then predicts their widespread use. Super Computers today are 10^16 computations per second. which is at human brain computational levels.

they underestimating his accuracy in predicting the future - they mentioned a couple that are slightly off mark!

WTF? These guys are misquoting him SOOO much. He said a human level computer by 2030 (with the "software" to go with it). And there are "TV glasses" around to day. They cost 250 dollars and can plug into your iphone/pod.

Well you did not really show his competence objectively. From his about 109 predictions in principle only around 10 or so "really" failed.
He even predicted the global rise of the internet when it was still a military project. It seems not fair to exeggregate the predictions he botched, he absolutely is the person you want to listen to when it comes to the future of technology/nano/bio/info because his predictive track record is absolutely unrivaled.

super computers have already surpassed the power of human brain.
People have been holding kurzweils perdictions down to years days and months.
People do not want to except that computers are going to surpass human intelligence.
The singularity cannot be stopped it is just a matter of when.

Future predictions are like batting averages. Even the best aren't gonna hit on more than half of them.
