@Zmitc002

the speech is is the same every time as the growth of information science is exponential and ray has not change his position on it.

He is trying to educate people on this growth not put on a variety show.

@Zmitc002 Will Smith could rap clean about it... but this guy is a scientist, an inventor, and a futurist. Albert Eisenstein would have bored you so much with his descriptions of relativity that you would have hung yourself with a cordless mouse - even though the implications of those theories boggle the mind. I agree that he is dry, but the body of research he has collected and demonstrated over the decades is compelling - warranting latitude IMO. -cheers

Search for the physicist Tom Campbell on YouTube, and if you watch his lectures any questions you have will be answered. His videos have links to the scientific papers he mentions and other reference material too.

@HueyTheDoctor87 can you emphasize? I am really interested ^^

[CHAVAQUIROZ]

the world needs to take this speech in consideration.... with the occupy wall street movement going on from Spain and worldwide...

Because other wise, the philosophical proposals in politics and it's integration for corporation power can be a huge problem for the future of humanity, or the possible solution. But since humans seem so greedy lately I not so sure the result won´t be possitive.

@Domzdreams

You are already in a virtual, computed reality. We are mere decades from creating a virtual reality simulation of THIS reality. Inside of that virtual reality, further reality frames will be created. This is the cause of the fractal nature of reality.

[Domzdream]

When will real Virtual Reality be available. As in, to be actually there.

Will this only happen when we can literally plug our brains into a computer or what?

[RussellsParadox]

Shouldn't everybody in this audience have already read The Singularity is Near?

@bighands69

truth.

the needs expressed by zmitco are valid, however, and should be addressed

we need a hub of creative speculation on the possibilities of the future.

Nano fabrication coupled with massively intelligent machines will give human creativity the ultimate tool of expression.

consider the end of the book, irobot, where they ask their Computer to think up, and build a machine that traveled faster than light. that is only one mans creative vision, we need to get everyones.

[donpengin]

Although, I wish he would use new examples of applications for these new technologies.

@Zmitc002 What the hell do you think this is? Britain's got talent? Do you expect him to do a song and dance every time he gives a presentation just to please you?
