Future discussion and Singularity

When we talk about singularity in class we saw a dividing line. I notice how a couple people say this is good for society while others felt was a bad choice. Me personally I feel we should go to a certain point. Though it is not strong evidence movies such as I Robot and Terminator prove what could happen if we continue to improve technology. With these possible result I kind of worry what future we might be making for ourselves.

Ray Kurzweil was the first person to talk about how far we are taking technology. Though in his book we talk about in class he contradict himself a few times he predict adroids will be here. He also stated that a computer with the calulation power of a human should be out around 2029. He also states that aorund 2049 a computer will be out witht he calulation power of every human being on this planet. With these kind of prediction I kind of want to see these could of computers.

For our debate and last day of class ended with every person having their own opinion of what singularity might bring as a result. For me only the future can tell what might happen with singularity. Like investigating DNA that in the 80s was suppose to take 200 years only took 13 years once started. Technology seem to not have anything blocking it from imporving. Once the android come that can think for itself we can only hope for the best.
