Ray Kurzweil- Inventor/Scientist/Futurist about computing and information technology. Very interesting topic!

HIS PREDICTIONS ARE ON TRACK SO FAR FOR YEARS!


Ray Kurzweil has so many interesting things to say if you love information technology then this is a perfect research area for you. Ray Kurzweil is a scientist/inventor /engineer and a futurist that says that humans and machine can't be without one another they are connected and the relationship will only get closer as the years progress. Ray describes a really vivid picture about humans and their computers in the future, he states on a cnn interview that our computers will be as small as human red blood cells that will float to our brain and have access to Internet and cloud computing in our system. Moreover, as technology is advancing technology is getting smaller and humans are getting smarter because of technology. There is a documentary about Ray Kurzweil ideas about virtual reality, avatars, cell phones, science....this list goes on forever..etc. This documentary is called the "Transcendent Man". "Transcendent Man" is about if we don't fuse with technology it will overpower us. Ray Kurzweil gives an example how a social networks can overthrow a government, its capability is not exponential its linear its just going to keep going and keep getting better.

I REALLY RECOMMEND WATCHING THESE, INFORMATICS IS THE FUTURE.
