We Only Have To Capture 1/10,000th Of The Solar Energy Landing On Earth To Completely Satisfy All Our Energy Needs.

As You Go Out To The 2040s, Now The Bulk Of Our Thinking Is Out In The Cloud. The Biological Portion Of Our Brain Didn't Go Away But The Nonbiological Portion Will Be Much More Powerful. And It Will Be Uploaded Automatically The Way We Back Up Everything Now That's Digital.

By The Time Of The Singularity, There Won't Be A Distinction Between Humans And Technology. This Is Not Because Humans Will Have Become What We Think Of As Machines Today, But Rather Machines Will Have Progressed To Be Like Humans And Beyond. Technology Will Be The Metaphorical Opposable Thumb That Enables Our Next Step In Evolution.

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.

The Past Is Over; The Present Is Fleeting; We Live In The Future.
