"The Law of Accelerating Returns

"March 7, 2001 by Ray Kurzweil

"An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential to the common-sense 'intuitive linear' view. So we won't experience 100 years of progress in the 21sst century--it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today's rate). The 'returns,' such as chip speed and cost-effectiveness, also increase exponentially. There's even exponential growth in the rate of exponential growth. Within a few decades, machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence, leading to The Singularity--technological change so rapid and profound it represents a rupture in the fabric of human history. The implications include the merger of biological and nonbiological intelligence, immortal software-based humans, and ultra-high levels of intelligence that expand outward in the universe at the speed of light."
