The
Singularity is Here!
Speaker:
Ray Kurzweil, Author, The Singularity
is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology
Moderator:
George Gilder, Editor in Chief, Gilder
Technology Report
Born out of a controversial panel at Telecosm
1998, Ray Kurzweil latest book envisions an event-the "singularity"-in
which technological change becomes so rapid and so profound
that intelligence will become nonbiological and trillions
of times more powerful. Will computers supersede human intelligence?
Can nano- and bio-technology so transform our bodies and environment
that the limitations of biology, including death can be overcome?
Join Ray Kurzweil and George Gilder as they consider the social
and philosophical ramifications of human and technological
evolution. |

George Gilder, Editor in Chief, Gilder
Technology Report
The PC
is getting smaller, more portable, and much more feature-rich.
As billions of mobile human beings begin to rely on these
devices as their primary means of personal computing, there
will be a vast realignment among makers of hardware, software
and peripheral devices. Cheap, secure, high-speed wireless,
multipurpose handsets, as portable as your watch and as personal
as your wallet will be optimized for ubiquitous global connectivity.
